Just wonder if you upgrade the bulbs to led?

I think if the headlight bulbs updated, it will be perfect.
Which bulbs? Do you mean in the Citi/parking light cell?
Or the turn signal?
the headlight xenon so that stays as is.

Seriously though, great DIY and kudos to you for all of the effort in wiring everything so thoroughly!
Thanks it really was a journey!

Does anyone know of a good installer in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

Wiring up was a lot of work as well.
I ran the two halos, DE and SSBT from the passenger side to the driver's side and bundled and connected the harnesses, converters, and drivers in the space above the driver side fog lamp. The passenger side has a washer resivoir so this side was better go collect all the gear.

I taped all the connectors just to be sure and zip tied all the loose bundles.

Also I had intended to enter the cabin on the driver's side with the wires for the bluetooth controllers and power taps, but it's virtually impossible to snake a wire through the main driver side harness boot beneath the power brake gear. The wire bundle in the boot is too thick and the angle into the cabin is too tight.

So I routed the wires inside the upper fender, across the power brake compartment, under the windshield cowl, and into the harness boot on the passenger side.

This left the control and power wires behind the glove box, I secured and connected the bluetooth controllers there, and ran the power lines across through a gap behind the cener console, underneath the steering column and into the fuse panel. I used micro fuse taps. one for always on to drive the SSBT so it can function as a hazard signal even when the car is off. And one for Acc-on power to feed the halos and DEs only when the acc or ign is on.

I also added one switches to each so I can disable the white SSB drl function at night and I can disable the halos and DEs' during the day. Having a quick kill on the halos removes the worry about remembering to use the bluetooth app to turn the halos off. It's not recommended have the halos on with the headlights (probabably because of the projector heat) and I don't want to wonder if I took off a flashing color mode that could get me pulled over.

I do sometimes drive with the halos on in solid white mode.
