Any idea by looking at these new JBL's if a led ring could be added?

I believe a 100mm halo would nearly perfectly fit around them. They're slightly smaller than the OEM fogs, so whatever they are minus ~15% - I'll measure and confirm.

That was ~15' away. Not very far.

At driving distances they blend together seamlessly. Foreground is much clearer, ditches are clearer, its just all around a pretty noticeable upgrade.

Here's a good shot of their true color.

Idk why my phone makes them so blue in previous pics, but I got into the light of the HIDs and this is a far more accurate pic of how they look in person.

You stated why...your first pic was above the cutoff thus giving you the "flicker" that everyone talks about with regards to HIDs. That blueness is the light bending around the shield. This is why most HIDs appear blue when you're in oncoming traffic, but are yellow/white behind the wheel.

The flicker on my D2S with Nightbreaker bulbs is outrageous and I love it. The way it reflects off street signs makes me smile every day

They're about ~4200k - identical to the stock HIDs. They're brighter too, which was very surprising.

You mentioned they are brighter than your headlights? Really? Let's see, are yours 35 watt HIDs powered by 50 watt ballasts?
