[closed] Aac Halos 6k-8k-10k Range Of Colours; The rolls royce of Rice!

Well after doing the fogtobrake mod the next DIY I wish to tackle is the DIY JDM headlight mod!

Im thinking when I have the headlights pulled apart I might as well drop in a set of teh high quality AAC halos.

So I have organised a group buy with Justin from AAC, he is going to offer us Ozzy guys a bit of a discount. Normally these kits go for $220 USD, he is going to offer them to us ACOA members for $220 AUD delivered.

Sure you can get kits for half of the price one ebay, but to me paying for a higher quality kit makes sense as I don't want to be going to the hassle of pulling apart my headlights to replace a dud halo after a few months use!

Here are some pics:

8K Emits a bluey/white light:

thats exactly how my car looks now :D except i got a elegence lip

no simon i am getting both lol AAC and asian ones :) but at the moment i'm trying to look for LED ones because they last forever where as ccfl halos are fragile and can break.

ok here it is ASIAN halos vs AAC

ASIAN
Positives cheap
looks cleaner up close
very bright
plastic outershell for protection

Negatives can take a while for a cold start
can be blinding at night


AAC
Positives
looks more elegant
average brightness
waterproof ballast
instant start up

Negatives very fragile because of the adbsense of a plastic casing
expensive
adhesive visible when looking up close


on the left is AAC on the right is the asian one

AAC is more then double the asian one. i'm still thinking maybe its possible to remove the plastic casing of the asian one and fit it that way.

You mean 6000K/10000K?

600K would be yellow central haha!

The law doesnt actually have a Kelvar rating, and the Halos are for park lights, not driving lights, so no worries there.

I've got 8000K HIDs in the post, as the law states for the driving lights:
Quote:
 
Make sure replacement bulbs are the correct colour, eg headlamp bulbs must be predominantly white or amber, although some white bulbs can look slightly blue. You should use commonsense to ensure you don’t run into trouble later on.


Also states:
Quote:
 
Dipped beam headlamps must be white or amber in colour.


So one can argue the fact that the lights are predominantly white!
Nothing law can do about this (for now...)

Well he gave me a group buy price on 5 kits.

I'm in so that's one so I need 4 more participants.

If the majority of the buyers are in Sydney yes I will arrange for them to get shipped to Sydney if not I will get it airmailed to Newcastle and I will ship the orders separately myself to wherever they need to go.

Wez, I've seen the LED kits and they are not as bright. But agree, would last longer if protected from the heat of the headlamps.

The oven is teh best way.

You can use a heat gun but apparently the oven is the best option.

I will post up the link which AAC have on their website, but they recommended you use an oven as it gives a more uniform heating compared to a heat gun.

It's only heated to 110 Deg c to basically soften the sealent which bonds & seals the lense to the housing.

As for the pics, I have already posted up a heap of pics of these halos installed on the cars also :)
