Street Concepts on O'Meara Road in Arima repairs the halos.

I believe they are a Power Seller on the forum so you should be able to get a quote easily from them.

the bmw effect is created using prisms to scatter the light into a radial pattern...has it on the HID sticky on the forum i believe

CCFL is what you looking for from what i gather, but not all models will be like dat for example http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/howto/projectors/halolit.jpg that's the entire halo bcuz th e design of light. this one is not entire halo how ever by night it appears to be that way http://www.sogaimport.com/images/P/HLP1-CIVI-9295-LED-CC-JY.jpg

the first pic is the complete ring as u said, however, my experience is that u do notice the incomplete ring in the 2nd pic at night so i wouldnt go for that

which headlights are from the first pic cuz those look good! looks a lot more like the bmw look
