Alright, I have been absolutely in love with the Halo mod since I saw it and I REALLY want to have this on my 300C SRT8 that I bought last week. There are a lot of jaw dropping cars on this site. I would like to see some of these masterpieces in person some time as there is nothing around here of that caliber.
But I am just a little confused at to what's what to do this correctly. I have read a bunch of threads but seems to find contradictory opinions on certain items.From what I have seen online (since I haven't seen any Halo installs up here in Winnipeg, Canada - I am sure that I would be one of the first to have it around here) I think that the ACC offering is the way to go.

Here are some of the questions that I have.

1. I want to install the halos on the headlights and foglights and would like all the light intensities/color to be the same. so what temperature rating should I be considering if I want to stick with the existing stock bulbs in the headlight? is this even possible?

2. Are there advantages other than the color to go to a higher temp bulbs?

3. It looks like painting the housing will bring out the Halos more vividly. Does anyone have picture of what it would look like to paint them Silver Steel on a car that is the same color? Or would it look better to paint them black?

4. Since I live in Canada, it is a HUGE pain in the butt to ship something to the US to be moded and then have to cross the border again when it is done.Could I just buy complete assemblies that I could justing replace the stock units with? I could go the DIY route, but I would be buying new assemblies anyways to keep a stock set in case I want to return the vechicle to it original state, so I would rather pay the little extra to increase the odds that I would have a troublefree install.

5. I know that laws are different everywhere, but has anyone had issue with cops saying that these are not adequate DRL? I would think that if BMW uses this type of lighting that it just be okay.

6. I think that is all I need to know, but if anyone can provide any additional advice... I am all ears.

I really want to do this, but would like to get more information to make sure that end up with a look that is uniform and proper and not something just slapped together with parts from mutliple vendors.Thanks in advance for any information that anyone can provide.
