Do you have anymore current pictures of your car with the matte stripes? I saw the couple you posted when you first got them but I would like to see more if you have em.

I think these are Oracle Halo lights that they used on that car at Sema. As far as the lights go, I have Oracle Halo's on my Charger. They were the best available manufacturer in 2013 when I got them. You can get them in white (which is a bluish/purple hue) or any other color - or get the more expensive ones that can change colors by remote. I went with white since it's only legal in CT. The Oracle lights were the brightest and other drivers hate them when you get behind someone. Everyone moves out of my way lol.

However, I would research this carefully before you decide to go with this mod. A lot can go wrong and think about how you want them wired (hooked up to daytime running lights vs. always on when your headlights come on, for example).

They are very difficult to install. I highly recommend going to a certified Oracle installer. I think on a lot of new cars now you have to either remove the headlights and bake them (literally in an oven at a low temp) to loosen the factory glue - or just buy another set of factory headlights with them installed. If you bake them to loosen the glue, you have to bake them again when you close them up. If it's not done perfectly, you will have moisture getting into your headlights and they'll start fogging up. I highly recommend not trying to do this yourself or going to someone who doesn't have a solid track record of doing these if you decide to install them on your factory headlights. I drove all the way to Brooklyn to get mine done and they needed the car overnight to allow the glue to set. You could not get the same OEM glue used by the factory anywhere in 2013.

The other thing that can go wrong - and will go wrong eventually - is one of the little LEDs that make up the ring will burn out. They might have changed the design since 2013 but there used to be a ton of these. Oracle gives a lifetime warranty so they just send you a whole new ring that has to be installed again. Make sure you negotiate this with the installer up front.

Not illegal everywhere. Some states you can have colored lights as long as they don't flash. Some states you can have them flashing, but you can't impersonate an officer. Other states you can't have them flashing or colored at all. I live in a communist state with gestapo paroling the roads and have the white (it's a blueish purple hue). I drive with them on all the time and have never been stopped. The non-flashing white is not illegal in NY/CT/MA.
