its really very easy once you learn some basics. i just taught myself. you can use the pen tool to draw good lines around objects like headlights, rims, etc and then use the brightness or color features to modify only that selection. also the clone tool works wonders you just have to lower the opacity to try and blend everything together nicely. zooming in alot works the best because when you shink it everything looks better.

How does you halo light light up. I have the same headlights but my halo ring light does not light up

the company did not resistor the halo properly. they are setup for 12.5V so using them when the car is on will kill them fast. I ended up replacing the leds with my own and resistoring for 15V so they dont burn out. I also grounded them to the 12V headlight wire so they come on with park lights but go off when the headlight comes on. this is so the heat from headlight doesnt ruin the leds. they are not that bright, but at night in the dark you can clearly see them. there are two leds in each ring at the bottom shining outward.

Looks kind of splotchy around the car on the second pic. I really like them otherwise though. Just that splotchiness is throwing the second one off.

nice pics. i'm sure you hear this a lot, the headlights completely throw off the "oem" everything type look you're going for. even the exhaust looks oem which i know it isn't, i have the same one.

keep it up =)
