b390lu or something along those lines did this a while ago. he said he used EL (electro luminescient) tape, but don't quote me on this. he went to a shop to get it done correctly.

Well, When i had my tycs apart I took a window rod and bent it into a peftect circle, and well.. Its too thick, and will not fit (around the projector). It will however fit around the high-beam area but, I dont think it will look right IMO.

Infinitie is right, Someone on the forum (or a couple) have used el cable/neon wire. The only problem with this is, you may not get a perfect circle. Plus, IMO when the neon is on/off it doesnt look that great =\

When i was sufin clubrsx.com i saw a member there that did the neon wire retro and it looks like ****, lol. Ill see if i can get the pic

blah, I want to try this out ( not EL ) but I just need some extra info.. I think with a thinner rod it should be possible.

well, the only rod that i know of (that will also allow light to reflect around to give a "glow") would be the curtain rod. Maybe cut it in half some how? IDK, just remember that halo works be having the light reflected inside the plastic.

i know.. i was going to put a light etch in it so that it would reflect the light.. otherwise it will just be bright in one end and no colour in the middle...
