After reading some threads on issued folks are having with Halos and DRLs on their newer Challengers, I've realized that I don't know if I know the difference between them. I owne a '13 R/T and am planning my next Challenger purchase, and want to be fully informed.
Here's what I think I know. Somebody correct me where I'm wrong.
Outside lights are headlights. High and low beam. They have a white "Halo" around them that's on anytime the headlights are on. There's no way to disable the white "Halo" around the headlights.
The inner lights are both DRLs and Turn signals. They can be white or amber DRLs (UConnect configured) and can be configured to be off all the time (in the U.S.). The amber part of the inner lights is your turn signal, and obviously, cannot be "configured" to be off.
Assuming all of that is correct.....Does anybody make aftermarket headlamp assemblies that do not include the white halos around the headlight? Or can they be removed altogether? I've seen some DIY stuff involving installing resistors and such, and frankly I'd rather not see them on or off. Since I'm considering a T/A 392 with the air intakes on the inner lights, I suppose I'd have to live with the ring lights there....but if I opted for a different model, are there any aftermarket light options that don't involve the rings on the inner lights? I just don't like the rings and would like to have normal lights (headlights, and turn signals) on a newer Challenger. DRLs are not an issue for me because I run my headlights during the day anyway.
