with just halos on, I have to see it!
gonna wait till its a little darker outside. what do u think about hooking the halos up with the blinkers via the corners. they will still turn on with the corners but alternate with the blinkers? but remeber my corner lights would still be disconnected!

btw, I hope by hooking them up with blinkers you dont mean they will blink along with them??? I am kinda confused what it is youre exactly wanting to do.
yhea they would blink but it would be alternate blinking with the blinkers, but would still come on with the corner lights like they do right now. if u hook wire from the blinkers to the already ON halos the the current from the blinkers would turn off the halos while blinkers come on and vise versa while the blinker blinks off causing them to alternate. just a thought thou.

i just used the headlight mod principles. took the corners heated them in the oven for 15-20 min at 220 degrees. once theyre hot they will come apart wiht a little coaxing with a flat head,but watch out for the goo that holds them together gets everywhere. take the back housing lightly sand all the chrome reflective stuff in the back housing then spray with some of that black engine paint. heat only the housing for about 10min to get the goo gooiee again and press them back together back together. if u still decide to keep the corner lights hooked up the light will still reflect and shine through properly dont worry, just be a little dimmer! hope it turns out ok.

no leaks at all and just used the same goo that was already there hense reheating the housing(actually reheating the goo) to put them back together. i was also thinking of removing the orange reflector but since its black now just gonna reopen them and spray the reflector with the tint spray like i did to my blinkers and taillights. becareful with all of this for ovens vary and u dont want to melt anything this is no hairdrier even thou i said 15-20 min check it continuosly ull be able to tell when its hot enough! good luck post pics!
