Halo lights give piercing eye effect to muscle cars
And sport compacts and other vehicles too, why they focused on muscle cars is beyond me.
IRVINE, Calif. -- Like lurking tigers peeking through the darkness, more muscle cars are getting their own sets of piercing eyes.
In this case, the halo-like glow emanates from colored LED lights that rim their headlights like irises surrounding black pupils.
At a Dodge and Chrysler car gathering on an abandoned airstrip in Irvine, Calif., owners treated these so-called halo lights as automotive must-haves for those who want to turn heads.
"It's for the show," said Jason Vita of Canoga Park, Calif., showing off the glowering green halo lights around the headlights that matched his lime-colored, tricked-out Dodge Charger.
He had a prime display spot at the Spring Festival of LX's, a reference to Chrysler's code-name for its big rear-wheel drive cars, including the Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 and the discontinued Dodge Magnum.
The lights sell for as little as about $200 a set, but Vita says installation can be difficult in some cars.
He says he charges about $1,000 "and I still wonder if I'm doing it too cheap."
