$700 if you send your stock ones to him to modify

$850 if you decide to outright buy new ones.

They are stupid expensive. I would have considered them if they were $300-$400, but $850 is just ridiculous.

Here's a picture of the double halo rears but not made by the same person to get an idea on how they look on a car. The ones in the video are more separated it looks like.

Yeah, one of my top mods if I could get my hands on it. Except for 1/10 the price of my car's value... it would just be irresponsible.

I’ve been looking to do something similar to these V3s but the work alone seems like a ton. The tail lights are plastic sealed and cannot be baked like headlights. Companies like 180 used to offer midnight tail services but stopped because of the labor and time involved. From what I’ve read there’s quite a bit of dremel work to be done as well, and because they are plastic sealed your traditional high strength adhesive may not stop condensation. I mean, if you were committed I’m sure you could pull this off of course, there’s just more to it than what I originally thought.

Easier said than done. Like @Wellnotexactly said, tails have to be cut up and re-sealed. Not many headlight retro-fitters offer this service. Let alone a hobbyist doing the retrofitting.

I bought an extra taillight to test this out. The one thing really holding me back is the Halo going out in the tail and having to re-open the taillights to fix it.

I have them and I know someone who can do it a little cheaper if you are interested. He can also paint them black(I have that on my car).

I do these tails. This is the set currently on my car.

The OEM led array is completely eliminated and uses the built in switchback functionality on the halos. These are diode dynamics halos which are way more reliable than any halo I have ever used. These have been running 9 months so far with no issues.

Currently I am modding an additional set for sale, same exact with blacked out internals and side marker deleted like mine.

Video here:

I have some interested but yea it’s an involved process cutting open the lens without scratching the lens or cutting too deep. I went through a couple tail lights to get this down properly. I’ll post when they are ready to be sold, super easy install, no cutting of stock harnesses. I started posting my progress on my Instagram of the new set @djdiskino
