Thanks

The round halos come with the GT Projectors. The light bars in the headlights are 6" CCFL's (cold cathode fluorescent lights).
I mounted an acrylic tube in the upper turn signal portion (inside the headlight) which extends to just outside of the case so that the CCFL bulbs can slide in and out for changing when they burn out.
The acrylic tube has a clear window in the front, but the rest was painted with a "mirror finish" paint so that all light is reflected forward for maximum light output. They are nice and bright

I don't have any pictures of the process or of the inside of the headlight showing how the tube is mounted.

And yes, I made some orange light bar side markers to match



Despite how it looks, they really don't affect turn signal visibility much.
