New RGB Accent Light Kits

This free mobile app allows the user to control the lights by selecting colors through a color wheel, choosing pre-programmed flash patterns and colors, an option to flash colors with music, and even has a timer to select when to turn on and off a specific pattern or color. Up to eight accent lights can be added per control box. Heise is also introducing convenient and competitively priced four-pack or eight-pack kits, both available in white or black housing options. The black four-pack kit (HE-4TLRGBK) includes four of the black RGB accent lights and one control box. The white four-pack kit (HE-4MLRGBK) includes the same, except in white.

Jeep owners can customize the halo colors in their headlights and fog lights with any RGB color variation.

The seven inch round halo headlights (HE-PBHL702RGB) for Jeep Wranglers (1997 and up*) have four CREE LEDs in each light and use an H4 connector. The four channel remote control and box (HE-4CHRGBC) is required for operation of all four lights together, or the two channel (HE-2CHRGBC) if used to operate a single pair.
