Quad headlight project questions. Detail explanation help requested!

i read through some of other headlight guru's work

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ts-making.html

- some mentioned getting LED rings instead of ccfl? why is that?
- what good is tinting the halos? can you tint/primer LED rings or CCFL glass rings?
- does tint/prime rings make it look better? brighter? not as bright? less glare? wth???!!!
- everyone uses bmw e46 shrouds. why is that?
- theretrofitsource.com has so many different shrouds. (circulat) (oval) (flat semicircle). how will they make a difference?
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/trs...and_bezels.php
- what size rings do i use?
- what do you guys do to secure the rings onto the shrouds?
- do i get 2.5" projectors or 3" projectors? will 3" fit evo x housing?
- where do i cut to change the projector color shades? (can't find the link!!!!!!!!!) (ex: some have red demon, some yellow, some blue etc)
Someone please help me find the link.
- which material spray of shade color do i use? does it require high heat? gloss? will flat color shades look good behind the projector? what brand?

I plan on:
- buying depo lights. (comes with 2 projectors)
- ordering a whole kit from the retrofitsource
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=141
- i'd then have total 4 projectors.
- can I cut/move/use the depo shrouds and projectors to "fake" high beam? FX-R bixenon for lowbeam/true highbeams
- what shrouds do you recommend from the retrofitsource.com link above? (does it have to be circular? oval? flatside/semicircular?)

- I have a 2013 non sss base. and I check the fuse box and there is no relay for the DRL. So there wont be an issue right?

- So if i wire the retrofitsource.com then i could have 3 light switch sittings right?
1. all off.
2. quad halos only
3. halos/low beam.


I THANK YOU for the detail help. Thanks guys.
sincerely, johnny
