$225, seems pretty reasonable for the kit, but the installation cost seems a little bit concerning, in terms of difficulty.
good idea, i'll install it for you for $295

Only those in the Miami area can get them done locally. Out of state clients would need to ship out their headlights. We arrange this part of the process via FedEx for reliability and scheduled timing

I think these are the best halos Ive seen yet!!
There are no issues with the headlights fogging up afterwards since the work in done in a dry environment. Luis is quite meticulous when doing these installs and treats the headlights as if it were his own.

That's the key right there - dry environment.

No offense bro, but it would seem to me you have a bit of a mixed interest in stating this since you coincidentally sell those bulbs, call me crazy.... Anyhow, i think everyone is entitled to their opinion and choice on how they want their car to look. IMHO this is the baddest set of Angel eyes out there, but they are a bit pricey. That being said, you get what you pay for. This isn't some simple bulb replacement, this is the real deal. Again, if someone doesn't feel that the $ is justified there are a ton of alternatives that are good too, i just don't think you can claim bang for your buck when comparing OSS true LED's to gp thunder bulbs... just my $.02

I had GP Thunders for a whole day and a half, tossed them right where they belong ...in the garbage!
Went to HIDs, got rid of them after about a month or two, way too bright. And now I have reached my final destination, the LUX kit!

Thanks for all the comments from supporters!

as noted, these are very stylized custom jobs for modding enthusiasts that want to take their lighting systems to another level. The rings are replaced completely with high powered LED emitting rings. hence the complexity of the job. The end result is unmatched and I'm glad to say that every customer that has received a set is ecstatic with the retrofit. For me that makes it so worth the time and effort on my end.

What I love about the setup is that they excel at daytime performance and you can see them so clear and precise from far away in full sunlight! it's a joy to catch them from the rear view mirror and gauk at them..LOL!

also anyone can wear them, stock rides or modded ones!

I personally love Camaross305's HID angels. In person they def. look the best. Seen the OSS in person and they look good but i dont care for the color temp and they arent as bright as i thought. They are great angel eyes and would have probably considered them but on a lease def. cant be taking apart the headlight.

Thanks...pics were taken with a Sony Cybershots small digital camera. Luis took a bunch of pics with his camera before I left, so he has more that should come out better.
