Before you buy those man, it is indeed possible to change the LED's in halos. I have a buddy with a Camaro that changed his halo LED's to red LEDs to match his car; it looks pretty sick.

And the reason the low beam side looks kinda funky, is that they are projector headlights. I'm not sure what the significance of them being 'projector' headlights would be, but that's why they look that way, lol.

Also, if you choose to buy those new ones anyway, could I buy your old ones off of you for a reasonable price?

EDIT:

Here's a picture of my buddy's car with the red LED's in the halos that he changed out himself:

He doctored the picture up some, but he didn't mess with the headlights/halos; he was just playing around with effects and crap. That's what the halos look like in person though.

Projectors focus the light output so that there is no light bleeding too high or too far out to the sides. Most of the time they have a sharp cutoff too to prevent blinding other drivers.
I think that type has an H1 bulb in the projector.
