Install was simple and when the Halo is not on you cannot tell they are anything but stock.

This link was the article where I found out about the headlights -

I don't have a great pic of them on, but I attached the best one I could find here at the office. They look really nice even if my pic is terrible.
Totally ignorant question but how does the halo effect work? Is it a separate switch? Or is it haloed when you turn the lights on.

I have them tied into the running lights so they come on when I pull the headlight switch back halfway.
There is a separate wire in each bulb for the halo, you could tie it to a switch if you wanted. they are LEDs so very little volt/amp pull.
I'm not an electrical wizard, but I feel like there would be many options depending on what you wanted to do.

The regular bulbs work no different than the normal light harness, same connections as stock.

Oh okay, so they are only cosmetic, don't add any light to night drivability. If you don't want to hook them up just don't provide power to that separate wire.

Actually halos can work as DRLs like on most new cars. I plan on using switchback halos on my 67. These also act as amber turn signals. I'll use the high beam bulbs for this. If you see a new challenger or charger they use this type of setup. I'll wire the factory signals to be on when I turn on the headlights.
