headlight question

what are better and why

ccfl halos or regular halos

Regular as in like mine? LEDs? Between what I have and CCFLs the differences are. CCFLs cost less. But mine are about 4x brighter if I remember correctly from JJ.

Its all personal opinion for the most part. the LEDs are brighter but the ring is kind of blotchy, where the ccfls are a real clean look.
LEDs

CCFLs

I'm sure JJ will come in and give more technical info...LOL

LEDs are not as breakable.

i like the ccfls, just cause they are a solid light all the way around but i also hear the leds are brighter.

So........here's the beef.

LEDs can be brighter, depending on how they are designed. There are a LOT of cheap eBay lights that have "LED" halos..........which consist of 1 or 2 LEDs in the halo. Example, this set of Mitsu lights I did:

LEDs, on:



Swapped them to CCFLs:



on, during the day:



The halos in the Mitsu had 1 LED at the bottom of the smaller halo, and 2 LEDs in the larger ones. Very dim!

CCFLs are typically cheaper, and as mentioned - a uniform look. The LEDs that are done by companies like AAC are VERY bright (almost too bright!) and have small gaps between then. That gap........drives me NUTS.

Personal preference? I like CCFLs. Even though I have broke a few.......they are smaller (if done in a raw ring) and can look quite well on the end of a shroud!










or even built into the shroud for a nice custom look:

See i was waiting for jj lol thanks man nice good info. Reason i asked was cause say like recon they charge more for ccfl than normal halos so i did not know what the difference was dont think there normal halos are led's though theres like a 60$ price difference in the 2.

yeah, they are probably LED, but when you have 1 or 2 cheap ones vs 50-60 higher quality ones............BIG difference!
