Default Halo rings

Has anyone put these type of lights inside your headlights? If so how hard was it to do? I am thinking about it. Watch a video and it looks easy enough but looks are deceiving.

Yeah I know, but I seen photos of all different makes that have them but not Jaguar. But this was listed under Jaguar lighting, looking to change over the factory bulbs to led so that it's brighter and ran across this. Most likely I won't do that.....I would haft to see it on a S type before I would make that kind of decision.

I also thought about chrome trim on headlights and taillights, chrome pillars and chrome door handles but after seeing a few cars done that way, I didn't like the look. I also been looking at rear spoilers, can't make up my mind on that either, I like the Str spoiler but I have seen smaller streamline spoilers that look good too. The hard part is that I like the classic look of the Jaguar S type and adding the spoiler may ruin what I am trying to achieve for the car. I am looking for minimal touches that make the car unique but doesn't take away from the brand.

Ah but all that cheesy chrome stuff and wimpy spoiler can be removed very simply by new owners if they wish.

I think those halos would look nice, but I'm thinking only on certain colors...I can't picture it looking good on black s-type...now on my zircon blue s-type I can picture it looking good

This is one Jaguar that I found that chrome headlights do not look good on, I will add a couple of others.

Joyce's Jag, the chrome really looks good on, it's the color of the car that really sets it off. I am still leaning towards the blue Halo lights because my car is a Indigo pearl blue metallic but I would like to see pictures. If you seen it done, send it my way.
