Sorry for the hold up guys I thought this would have arrived last week at the latest!

It's a good thing I emailed him last week to see if he could track the items as they hadn't arrived yet, he must have forgotten to process the order....

AAC's customer service sucks I didn't get an apology or an explanation he just sent me that email....

It certainly was a PITA that AAC didnt supply the high temperature glue, as my halos moved when the headlights where reheated also :(

Wez I was just tired from watching you work on my car :P doing 3 cars in one day is definately too much, by the end of the night everyone was so tired we just couldn't wait to get the headlights back in and the front bar on also,

Also as a word of advice make sure you wear latex gloves when putting them back together I have a big thumb print on the inside of my lense, & treat the halos with extreme caution as if you are doing open heart surgery, Simon snapped 2 of his small halos :( I thought of offering him my halos as a kind gesture, but I have been waiting 12 months for halos, and plus my headlights were apart ready to go.

Im extremely happy with the result it's definitely not an easy DIY but the look totally transforms your car.

Props to Wez for having enough patience to disassemble 3 cars and put them bacl together and put up with all of our boxes of halos, packets, lenses pulled apart & shit everywhere through his house!

I will post up some pics also shortly.

On another note Yan your halos are in the post :)

yeh 3 cars is too much started working on the cars at 10:30am didnt finish until 11:30pm. AAC are a load of crap. they didn't send us glue (slowed the process down) had to use a mix of methods to reseal the headlights with AAC halos they do look fantastic though. Gonna be working on my car later tonight (if i'm bothered haha) i think the only time we got to rest was when we had lunch. well the 4 of us are going to have a joint rant at AAC later hopefully it will make them pick up their game for later purchases (if there are any).

AAC problems:

1. poor customer service; you say you will do something you do it.
2. headlight assembly especially projector retrofits are very poor (I don't think these are done in house but sent elsewhere to be made)
3. Pretty sure theres a 300% price mark up on the halos they sell as the asian ones are exactly the same but not as fragile.

dw man i have already sent an angry email to AAC tellin them how un happy i was

if wez wasnt helpin up i think we would have snapped all our halos, even though we did break 1 of mine because mine was the gunie pig haha

but all in all it turned out alrite, just need to get a yellow blinker globe from work and it should b all good, really happy with sprayin the head light black and taking the yellow cover out... maybe beause its the only thing AAC had nothing to do with hahaha

how did yours turn out simon?? do the other halos look ok?

pics will b up as soon as i take some, its just like a light from my fone camera hahah

n thanks again 2 wez :D

Are the halos only held in place with glue?

Yes thats correct Stephen.

I would have thought they could have clipped around the bezel or something.

Not only that they curvature of the halo doesn't quite meet the curvature of the bezel for a perfect fit :unsure:
