Default Sonar Projectors + Umnitza LED Rings

I did an install of projector headlights a while back and started a thread for it (https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...nar+projectors)

But I wasn't happy with the light output from the halo rings. So, I found a set of LED rings from Umnitza that fit the housing. They are wired to a seperate switch next to the mirror controls so I can use them for daylight running.

Just wanted to update and show pics of the car now.

While I had the headlights open I also added an orange LED strip to the side for the signal. It only flashes when signaling. it doesn't turn on with the parking lights.

Wow very nice

They look a lot brighter in person, doesn't look rice at all, and are the same rings I'm going to use in my setup.

Yes, I am running an HID kit with the projectors.

Here is a pic of the car just after installing the lights to see the cutoff.

Hey, I love your LED tail light! Where'd you get it or you DIY? Any modification required for that tail light on harness and fuse?

They are aftermarket lights that I bought online from here: http://www.kingsource.com/

No harness or extra fuses necessary. Just plug and play. They will send you two converters for each side to plug them into the stock harness (they sent me only one per side and had to bug them for a week to get the other two).

Also, they don't fit perfectly so it'll take some fiddling to get it on.

Just search by make of the car. Seems like they have a few new styles since I bought mine. If you are going to use an HID kit with the housings ask them first if they are meant to take the HID bulb.

Ordered mine and found out the opening was too small for an HID bulb and had to file down the opening (a lot). I emailed them afterwards asking if mine was meant for HID and they said yes, so they may say yes to you and you would still need to mod it like I did.

The rings that came in my headlights were only visible at night though.
