CCFL vs. LED

So I'm looking into getting some halo-type fog lamps and headlights, and I have come across both CCFL and LED versions. I've read that CCFL is the old technology, and that LED is better, and vice versa. I want something that's bright enough, but not obnoxious.

What's your opinions?

my personal opinion is neither , but if you are set on them the leds would be the way to go.

LEDS = brighter, less problems, last longer

CCFLs = dated, not as bright, known for problems with ballasts and bulbs cracking, cold start issue

I like the smoked version American Muscle has

I got he HID kit on my 2002. I love them but not halo. I installed them myself and they work fine. Just watch that washer fluid tank...lol

I have a feeling there's an interesting tale behind that.....

I have the HIDs as well and love them. I installed mine as well and have no problems as of yet.

she isnt referring to the actuall headlights. she means the halo part, like bmws, where just the outside ring lights up

Has anyone seen them on a Stang? They look like they might be cool, but I haven't seen them lit up. Are they gay, Nate?

I have them on my car and love them.................both my headlights and fogs are the halo's. It all depends on what you like and don't like. I get mixed opinions but it's my car so eh, whatever.

Are they bright? Can you see them in the day? Do you have the fogs too?

They look great on Laura's car, looks sinister in the rear view mirror

During the day they are pointless. At night the are bright enough to see, but these halo lights are specifically for show. They are not bright enough alone for driving at night. My fog lights are the halos as well.

I have both ccfl halos in my fog and headlight. They are bright. I love them. I heard that the leds arent as bright so thats why I didnt go with them. They have a sinister look to them.
You can see them in the day time. Ill have to get some pics up.

Heres the link with some pics of the st patricks day parade. I had the halo`s on. Im in the 09 with shaker hood scoop. That will give you an idea how they look.

I concur!!!

Alright, so I bought the black led halo projectors, with matching fogs.

Now I just need to get around to installing them...

Pics please....

I used to have both the headlights as well as the fogs but my fogs are bye bye now. I did wire mine up differently than Laura did. She has the LED's wired to the turn signal but I have mine with the running lights

You can see the halo ring and LED strip at night at the beginning of this embarrassing video that John so kindly provided
