Flossin,
Thanks for posting the links. I have seen the install video and done a lot of searching here on the forums. What I gather is lots of people who wanted to do DIY installs received broken CFL's from AAC which I am sure was ultimately "made right" not sure I understand how or why they would get broken in shipping as I've been a UPS global shipping account holder and I've shipped far more fragile items across the world. I've also read that there are plenty of issues with the ballast they use. I certainly hope this has been fixed because if it's not, I won't buy them. I am as I said, VERY picky I've done the whole car show scene for many years with my vette's and other race cars/street cars. My Stratus was such a letdown because the aftermarket was so cobbled together, the parts were so "junky" that after two sets of coil overs (a few grand) I lost all interest in the car and just stopped taking care of it at all.
I do not want to make that mistake with my 300. Any part that goes on this car has to be professional quality OEM caliber and fit right. The AAC Halo's look like a great product and I'd much rather have the cathode technology rather than dimly lit, unevely lit LED's or fibre halo's but in the same breath, they must work, they can't fall loose, I can't have lights that fog up inside etc.
Same goes with the HID lighting, if I can't find an aftermarket kit that is up to what I expect with perfect wiring, completely OEM quality, then I would just pony up more money for the OEM parts.
DIYing the halo's is out of the question because I've been down this road with the Stratus. AAC says 250 degrees to seperate the capsules and in thier video they just pull right apart. My real world experiance tells me otherwise! I've done the whole 250 for 30 and I would up having to reheat the capsules five, six times each to get them apart. Ultimatly ruining any hope of reusing the OEM adhesive, pliable sealant. I would up having to use clear RTV and that's not an option on my 300 they have to be sealed up like OEM.
