    Is it better to install the halos in our existing HID housings or can I buy the premade units like K2 has and simply swap out my HID bulbs?

    you can do either/or. IMO the aac's look best, i think the ebay ones look kinda ricey. if you wanna save some bucks i have an unused set of aac halo's i never got around to putting on that ill give you for el cheapo

    Can anyone point me in the right directions on a how-to or can tell me how difficult it will be to change out the headlights on a charger. I know the front bumper has to come off...wondering if anyone has done a right up on any other forum. Thanks guys

    Front clip must come off. After that it is three bolts holding the headlamps in.

    I will be doing a writeup next week when I add my HID's.

    I didn't realize TLS did Halo/Projector retrofit. I haven't done this, just throwing out ideas for Howdee.
    Is there a thread stating what TLS does/offer(besides HID/LED)?

    Call me if you get stuck on anything...

    It is very easy... Take bottom skid plate off, remove bumper skin and you will see the three bolts that hold the headlights in place.
