Also, notice how a bit of the red is showing at the top of the headlight? Fokker, after we installed his HID AE, he decided to fix that by placing electrical tape over that area so it does not light through.
Good Job for an expert. Like I said this is my first time doing them. I do another one and I will learn more. I had an HID eyebrow in mind (not exactly HID but even brighter than what I have right now) but like I said I work in my garage with propane heating and projects take a while to develop the first time.

The multi color orions are super cool but I wanted the brightest WHITE and I bet the Orions beat the lci hands down + they dont cause the flush effect (the circles are very well outlined without light going everwhere)

I have another mod in mind but will go slow on it

I am assuming you're referring to theracerboss's.

To clarify for you, basically what that red ring is is the original AE that he did not remove. He put a red bulb/LED in there, that's why they're red. You don't need to have that ring there if you just want the Orions. But yes, if you want to keep that ring there, and make it white, you can always put Mtecs in there.

Well, if you have white rings, then when your driving the car, the white Orions and the white OEM's are going to blend in.

The whole point on having a red (or any other color) was to create a contrast to make it UNIQUE.

Well, thats what I had in mind - To each his own.

But to answer your question, you can have any color - Red Green Blue White Yellow
