DESCRIPTION

Profile Pivot Switchback Halos are high-performance LED lights designed for automotive aftermarket use. These halos offer a unique combination of functionality, reliability, and ease of installation. They can run in bright white mode continuously but will flash amber when your turn signal is activated, automatically returning to white afterward. The product features a proprietary phosphorous silicone coating for uniform, attractive illumination and intense brightness. Smart drivers briefly enhance the amber output for eye-catching turn signals. Wiring is simplified with a 3-wire input, and the product boasts an innovative EZ-Mount design for clean installation. With a lifespan of 50,000 hours, these halos are built for longevity and work reliably across modern vehicles while being moisture-resistant. Profile Pivot Switchback Halos provide an ideal lighting solution for those seeking both style and functionality in their vehicle lighting.

INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS

Profile Performance: The automotive aftermarket's best name in LED Lighting and when it comes to Switchback LED Halos; easily the one that gets our nod of approval. Fact is that while the rest of the industry is busy sticking their name on a generic or standing still with the same-old same-old; Profile is working hand-in-hand with the industry's experts to keep pumping out the products with the performance that we all expect. Their Profile Pivot Switchback Halos are perfection so satisfying that we're left without anything else to ask for.


Switchback: The Profile Pivot Switchback Halos are designed to run full-time in their bright white setting, and [when signaled to do so by your turn signal circuit] flash amber. When the signal stops, these halo LED lights will automatically return to white, just like any modern luxury car would. They can also be wired for use as a bright Amber-only or White-only halo if that's what you want. Just wire up the appropriate input(s) and you're ready to roll!


Intensity and Uniformity: Profile's unique blend of phosphorous silicone coats the front face of the Pivot Switchback Halos and is responsible for their neutral "white when off" look and their amazing intensity which is unlike anything else on the market. The proprietary coating process ensures perfect uniformity without any hot/dark spots, bumps, runs, or other imperfections found on coated rings found elsewhere.


Super Amber: These halo LED lights' smart drivers are programmed to temporarily bump the power to the amber LED's when they first illuminate. So what? You get the best of both worlds. A switchback halo with an insanely bright amber turn signal, and also one that can work reliably as a full-time amber halo! (because the over-driven amber output is so brief, chip reliability is unaffected)


Simplicity: Wiring the Profile Pivot Switchback Halos is super easy. Their advanced LED drivers control all of the functions and only require a 3-wire input. The white wire receives a constant 12V+. The black wire is grounded, and the orange wire is tapped into the turn signal circuit.


EZ-Mount:There are three micro-mounts integrated into their backing, making the Pivot the easiest and cleanest switchback halos on the market to install. (Patent Pending) Now you can forget about failing glue or wires wrapped around the face of your angel eyes. Don't be "that guy" with dripping glue or picture hanging wire visible inside your headlights.


Reliability: The innovative Hybrid-LED technology delivers a virtually infinite lifespan of 50,000 hours. That's almost six straight years! Because they're based on much more stable and mature SMD-LEDs; they are considerably more reliable between hot/cold cycles compared to "new" COB based halos. The Pivot drivers are refined to work reliably on all modern cars/trucks, and are completely potted inside to avoid moisture-related problems.

If we sell it, then you bet we've put it to the test on our own cars, trucks, and bikes. Need a recommendation on parts for your project? Got a tech question? Wholesale inquiry? Contact us!

XSB Halos 2.0 vs XSB Halos 1.0

by

Let me start by saying that these are definitely the best halos on the market. They're super bright and the switchback modules are oem-like. I bought the 2.0s hoping that they had corrected the "too-blue hue" issue. However, there are still some things that irk me about these, thus the reason for only a 3-star rating:



1. Color. These are still way too blue for me. They are most definitely not 5000K as advertised. They are 8000K (explained below). They might be a slight improvement over the 1.0s, but not by much. I'm one of those people that are pretty detail-crazy (like most people who purchase from TRS). I like things to match, especially "hues" of white when it comes to headlights, fog lights, halos, etc. Otherwise, things just look cobbled together and scream "tacked-on aftermarket". I run Morimoto D1s 5500K bulbs in my headlights, which I love (perfect balance of output and color in my opinion). When compared to the halos, you can see the difference in white hue.



The 2.0 halos are still very much 8000K, much like the 1.0s were (the 1.0s might have even been higher!).



How do I know they are 8000K? Well, I put some 8000K D1s bulbs in my headlights to see what the halos matched up to. It's a perfect match, as seen in these photos.



Passenger side: http://bit.ly/1QPCoIj

Driver side: http://bit.ly/1UWSdhe



Passenger side is 8000K D1s bulb, driver's side is 5500K D1s bulb. Fogs both have the 2.0s installed. The difference is obvious. I tried 3 brand new 8000K bulbs, all sold under different company names to be sure. Also, nobody likes 8000K. It's way too blue, the output is dim, and you look like a 16 year-old kid driving around with his $20 eBay 8000K HID kit in reflector housings (memories from 10-15 years ago should be flooding back to you now, we all did it!).



2. Secondly, in my opinion, the 1.0s were plenty bright enough. The 2.0s are a bit too bright when viewing at night. During the day, the 2.0s are great, but when you look at them at night, they're so bright that the human eye almost perceives them as a solid circle of light vs. the ring of light that they actually are.



So, if TRS can coordinate with Morimoto to produce an XSB Halo that is actually 5000K (or even 6000K would be fine) and not so insanely and blindingly bright, I will buy them. In fact, I will buy many of them.



Overall, a great and reliable halo that just needs a bit more refining (again, in my opinion).
