you got the same as i did , i also changed to white the green one , and what he says about the housing is right , even thought i dont think that has nothing to do cause the projector is the one thats going to give the ilumination , not the headlamp anymore , you will have to research , cause for real we here have the laws but no one follows, so anyone can do the mood they want without any problem i did the projector mood cause really liked the cutout stuff and ended up liking the output ...

So how was changing the Halo? They say they got colors, but the had three setups, and thats it. I bought a red 9cm for the inner halo, and figured I would see how crappy or easy of a job it is to put in.

its pretty much easy , the shrouds hold them with 3 screws you just remove the shrouds from the lens and remove the screws that hold the halos, replace them really easy stuff.

i can see , but unless they touch on the wire side i dont think it will be much of a problem cause there is plenty of space where the halo is placed , they are hold by a plastic plate behind that i told you has the 3 bolts so i think they could work , but try not to force them too much cause those are made of glass , just like the fluorescent lamps so they brake really easy...

mmm , those look good , only thing i dont like is that the halo of those that are made of two small leds that always dimm after a few weeks and finally end up burning , but you can always change them to ccfl , buying the lamp and the transformer , but that has been my experience on those halos, i bought some fogs for my dads sport trac that came with those and also i got some Kc style fogs for my wifes crv also with the same result...
