Default Halo lights for 2008 RX-350

Hey guys

So, halo lights are lights to light up your lights?
I'll have to look into that, although it does seem a bit superfluous.

I still don't know what "halo lights" are for, but these, as pictured above, sure look better than those Christmas tree lights that Audi has started putting on new cars around (or under) the headlights.

Lexus should come up with an original trademark by way of the headlight design. Even Infiniti has its cluster LED headlight. Personally, I'm not a fan of angel eyes/halo surrounds. It's a fad that's come and long gone. Someone should be brave and butcher his or her headlamps for the sake of progress!

Christmas tree lights? lol. Those so call Christmas tree lights are quickly becoming a trade mark of Audi. They are day time running lights just like the halo lights. I happen to like those Audi Christmas tree lights, I wish I had them on my car.

I would have to agree with you guys on the audi "xmas tree lights"
those things are a beauty !!!!

So, im guessing no one on this board has done those angel eyes/halo lights on their rx?

i actually contacted some shops around my area to ask if they install them and most of them are reluctant to do it

i also heard if they arent done right / sealed correctly the headlamps will have condensation in them which is another reason i want to get someone with experience to do it...
