Default halo lights

I'm just about to place an order for a set of halos from AAC - i was thinking im not going to have them painted. But now worried they will not stand out enough. Does anyone have any pictures/opinions on halos in non-painted housings?

my reasoning: My car is the Intensa Blue Pearl - stock. I'm thinking painting the headlights will make it look too aggressive for a stock car. If it had body kit and rims on it, it would finish the look...

please help.

Hey you got to start somewhere. I have the painted black lights with halos and it makes it look way nicer then stock. If i were you i would just buy them the way you want them now so you dont have to buy another set or take yours apart later when your ready for them to be painted.

Sherri don't worry, they came out great! If you even want us to go pack and paint them just pick up the phone and let us know

I will pm you the tracking # for both sets of lights later today.

thanks! yes I got the 6k. I was gonna try and do it myself but I dont trust myself with handling the rings without breaking um or epoxy - i'd end up getting it all over the place so i just paid for them to install it for me.

a friend of mine works on imports so I had him do it. The bumper did come off on mine, but I heard there is a way to do it without bumper removal. If you search around i'm sure there's a thread about it. If i was smart i wouldve had my clear markers on hand to change at the same time

for sure I'll buy it from u (AAC), u been having a lot of good reputation but just trying to figure out what's the procedures to replace the whole headlight unit? I heard and saw some vdo that need to pull out the whole front bumper in order to replace the whole headlight unit. Do you have the whole procedures to do so. So that I can try to figure out if I'm able to do it myself or not. I talked to someone at AAC before and he mentioned that AAC doesn't have a 3rd party vendors for the labor in Southern California area. Thank you so much for your help. Greatly appreciated.
