The Halo lights have never been amber. They are clear.

I think he means that the light is yellow-ish rather than a pure white. Not amber in the sense of a turn signal bulb.

No, that's what I meant. He means his halos. Like, they're yellow/amber (their output). Like mine. Like stock. For now

I think he is referring to the LCI headlights which I believe are LED based for the xenon white color. Not sure if they will be compatible with the pre-LCI headlights but your dealer will not change them out for an upgrade. They will replace them if there is a problem but only swap them with the equivalent.

I figured he meant the color of the halos. LCI headlights would have to be purchased for the standard LED, which run about $2500 (informed by my SA). And they will not install aftermarket bulbs, you're right. Best thing to do is get some angel eye LED upgrades and put them in yourself.
