Hello. Curious of opinions for these headlights, does anyone have halo lights installed? Thanks

I like the idea of LED headlights a lot, even as little as I drive my 914 at night.

Deal-breaker for me is something that is obviously period incorrect. Still watching this space to find the right mix of an LED replacement that looks more or less like an H4 or generic sealed-beam headlight from the 1970s. Simple fluting, high performance.

If all I cared about was performance—or still drove my car on the back roads a lot at night like I did 10-20~ years ago—I'd be all over the Nighthawks.

They don't look period correct but most of the time they are hidden. The nice thing is they only take 5 minutes to install. Unplug your old lights, plug in your new ones. Keep the old ones for the car shows. They really make a huge difference for night driving. I got a pair for my Dad's jeep wrangler and he loves them.
