The Brightest LED Halos on the Market! Made in U.S.A!

Starting in the early 2000s with high-end European luxury cars like the BMW 5-Series, LED halo headlights and taillights have become one of the most popular lighting options for vehicles of all kinds. From WRXs to Jeeps to UTVs and more, LED angel eye halos are perfect for giving your ride a high-end, custom look. And they aren’t simply a cosmetic mod, LED halos can also function as daytime running lights, turn signals, and brake lights! 


If your ride didn’t come from the factory with LED halo lights like the aforementioned BMWs, don’t worry! Customizing your vehicle’s stock headlight or taillight housings with aftermarket LED halos is simpler than you might think. Even if you’re not familiar with how to customize headlights, there are hundreds of professional installers ready to help. Keep reading for more info!

Engineered from the ground-up to be the brightest, most reliable LED halos physically possible, our HD LED Halos are considered the industry standard for headlight and tail light customization. Unlike cheaper generic LED halos from China, our HD LED Halos are 100% designed, tested, and built right here in St. Louis. Each one is populated with a large number of high-density LEDs and then coated with a diffusing gel. The result is perfectly uniform light output, and a clean, OEM-like appearance when off!

  • White: White Low Power, 50% brightness
  • Red: White High Power, 100% brightness
  • Yellow: Signal, double brightness, flashing (dims if powered more than two seconds)

One of the most common questions when retrofitting a set of headlights or tail lights with LED halos is: “How do I know what size I need?” Depending on your vehicle, you may be able to purchase custom-fitted LED halos that drop right into your factory housing! In addition to our selection of universal sizes, we offer a huge selection of HD LED Halos that come perfectly sized for your vehicle’s headlights or projectors.  Some of our most popular custom-fit LED halos include:

You can also purchase universal LED halos in a wide variety of sizes and color options to suit your exact needs. To make customizing your headlights or taillights as easy as possible, we manufacture our HD LED Halos in sizes ranging from 50mm all the way up to 185mm! If purchasing universal LED halos for your custom lighting project, we recommend speaking with our service team or an authorized professional installer to identify which sizes and colors will work best. 

When measuring your headlights to identify the correct LED halo size, keep in mind that all our LED halos are listed by outside diameter, in millimeters. The width is 8mm, so the inside diameter is 16mm less than outside diameter. So, be sure to measure the outside diameter of the area you’re mounting your halos to, and buy the matching size! In some cases, your LED halos will require cutting or trimming to fit. While not all LED halos are designed for this, our HD LED Halos can be trimmed up to 20% while remaining fully functional!
