Make Your Own Halos?

I found a tutorial online on making your own halos for your headlights.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1369308/create_custom_led_for_cars/
I was wanting to know if anyone here has tried it out, and if so what was the outcome? I'm thinking of giving it a go this weekend. If it doesn't come out right im only out like ten bucks.

Just in case anyone else was interested in trying it out also. I found the rod he was using at home depot and a site that has pretty much any color LED you could want.

Rod

LED

I thought it was an interesting find...but it could be old..so let me know if you have any ideas or have tried it out yourself.

The only problem im seeing there might be is that it looks like they might be a little thick. It would probably look nice at night but you dont want something that is gonna stick out during the day.

I tried it out years ago, it's pretty easy to make, but I didn't really like it, it still looked cheap to me.
