Shipped from the us. Video didnt really work well as you couldn't make out the halo.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/131702211036

Connects to your phone many strobe options and other features with it also.

Look awesome! 99 bucks isnt that cheap. Do they come on normally when you turn the car on? And do they fade off like the old bulb?

Let me know if you're successful with the coding out of the yellows. (I'm assuming you're talking about the dash warnings) My E90 hates it's new LED DRL's and fogs. Haven't been successful coding them out.

Not sure of the dash lights, I was referring to the yellow corner lights when the angel eyes are on

Not sure what the cops are like where you are at, but I had my halos set on Red and got dinged with a $75 fine! Thought I'd at least get outta the first ticket by changing them back to white on the spot, but I guess he needed to meet his quota for the day!

Wow my friend that just completed his schooling to be a cop said that red or blue could be considered impersonating an officer which is a felony.

Nice price
Only problem with cheap RGBs is the quality of the LEDS they use.
They tend to burn out quickly leaving gaps in the ring, or one or two LEDS stuck permanently on one color.
Disconnecting the battery or your RGBs when you do electrical work will help prevent shocking the LEDS which is another reason they fail
Hopefully you get lucky and don't suffer this problem

I know I have had my headlights opened 4 or 5 times swapping them out

Depending upon what state you are in, anything showing forward which are ANY color other than white or amber are ILLEGAL! It's in the laws in CA. The eBay retailer is in CA, where it is illegal to use.

The OP lives in Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Vehicle Code says:
"(2) Except as provided in sub. (3), or as otherwise expressly
authorized or required by this chapter, no person shall operate any
vehicle or equipment on a highway which has displayed thereon:
(a) Any color of light other than white or amber visible from
directly in front; or
(b) Any color of light other than red on the rear
; or
(c) Any flashing light."
The eBay retailers could give a shIt about the legality of what they sell, they got their money from you!

Exactly! Don't want to mess around with blue or red colours! With mine I can also program colour sequencing (so it can flash different colours). This can definitely get you in trouble! I'll only toss on the flashing Red/Blue when I am pulling onto a friends property or something.. Give them a little scare with the red and blue!
