Today we're going to cover Halos and Demon eyes, two of the popular options we offer for our TEQ Customs Headlights. We'll go through what each adds to the build, what functions halos and demon eyes add, and the different kinds of halos and demon eyes available.
To start with, Halos are rings of light that can either go around the front of the projector (Front halos) or behind a shroud to backlight it (rear halos). Every TEQ Customs halo is going to have white and amber functionality standard. The amber function is able to be used as a turn signal. More info on the types of headlights below;
Standard Halos (Switchback)
Switchback halos are standard when adding halos. Switchback refers to the ability for the halos to switch from white to amber and flash with the turn signal, then back to white.
You can also run full time white only or full time amber only if you wish.
RGBW Halos
RGBW Halos are bluetooth controlled color changing. They utilize an app on your phone. RGBW halos can be set to any solid color. They also include a ton of "show modes" where colors will flow and rotate around the halo.
RGBW Halos also have a turn signal function.
Front and Rear Halos
Rear halos are installed in the back of a shroud. When lit, they provide a backlight to the shroud. Depending on the shroud design, this will create patterns around the shroud.
Rear halos can be utilized in any builds that utilize a shroud. For builds that have a trim piece around the projector, like Gx470 and 06-09 4Runners, shrouds and rear halos are not able to be used.
Front halos go around the opening of the projector on the front of the shroud. On some headlight builds, we are only able to install front halos due to existing trim inside of the headlight.
For builds that have an option for a high beam front halo, a projector will need to be added to use a front halo.
Examples of a front halo only build and a build with both front and rear halos is shown below.
Front Halo Only
Front and Rear Halo
Hex Halos
Hex halos are RGBW Only (Requires the RGB Upgrade) and can only be used as front halos. These can be placed on trim pieces or on the front of shrouds. We offer a few "Special Edition" builds with Hex Halos standard.
Demon Eyes
Demon eyes back light the projector itself (the center of the headlight). These do not change the color of the light emitted from your headlight
The term demon eye comes from the red backlit option, but they are available in red, blue, green, white, and purple as singe colors. If you add on the RGBW upgrade, the demon eye can be full color changing along with your halos.
These are great for adding a little extra customization, especially for builds like the 06-09 4Runner, 14+ 4Runner, Gx470, and 16+ Tacoma where a shroud and rear halos is not possible.
