Any "classy" way of changing 2002 Bonneville lights with these...?
 
Hi:

Is there any "classy" way of changing the 2002 Bonneville SSEi front lights with these?

Or would they look "out of place"?

It says they are available for the car - just wonder how they really would look...

I am looking at the regular white version - not the blue version...

Lumen® - LED Halo Rings

I don't see how they are beneficial besides the look factor.



Increase the light output and visual wow of your vehicle’s headlight assemblies for safety and style with LED halo rings from Lumen

How do you increase light output with just some LED rings?


Sets of two halo rings are illuminated by multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) contained within
Almost seems like its one of those Ebay light/chip scams.


Someone here awhile ago, installed BMW lights in his car, dropped his suspension a tad, move his rear wheels out a little bit and now the black Bonneville looks like a BMW.

Yeah... it would just be for looks...

I love the looks of the new cars today - but also love my 2002 Bonneville SSEi...

Trying to "update" its looks - without it being to obvious (to normal people, not hardcore Bonneville lovers) that the look was "updated".

That is why I would never put in the blue version (although I like its looks better) - that would be too "obvious"...

You could put those in the only problem is the Bonneville doesn't have round headlamps on the inside. The rings would look funny just kinda hanging there and would also be in the beam of light. If you want to do it right, do a projector retrofit then get halo rings that fit on the projector. Cleaner and adds even more of a modern look

What exactly is that?:)

This was my retrofit on the last Bonne without halos (I used LED strips)

You can see how I removed the chrome refractor on the middle section and installed a HID projector

Do you have a "before" picture Brian?

Hmmm...

Why not do both the low and high beam? :)
