No. 13/621,805, titled “Single Color Or Multiple Color LED Angel Eyes Halo Headlight”, filed Sep. 17, 2012 in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application No. 61/539,304, filed Sep. 26, 2011 in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The specifications of the above referenced applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     
    
     FIELD OF INVENTION 
       [0002]    This disclosure relates to a motor-vehicle headlight and more particularly to such headlights or spotlight employing more than one lighting sources; one using a main lighting device lamp in the center and another with more than one Light Emitting Diodes (hereafter, LED). Still more as it relates to a headlight or a spotlight using multiple LED. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Present day headlights offer many features to include asthetic design, safety and brighter illumination. The round and square headlight technology of vintage vehicles has not advanced to include these present day technologies. Vintage vehicle show car owners desire a more modem technology and retro headlight design to fit their vehicles. The object of this invention is to overcome drawbacks of Original Equipment Manufactured (hereafter, OEM) headlights by providing a brighter and more focused beam that also provides better side light and further distant illumination. In addition to an improved main lighting device lamp, another accentuating feature that provides added illumination and safety is the addition of Daylight Running Lights (hereafter, DRL). The DRL feature employed is an aesthetically pleasing design in the form of a ring characteristic of a halo provided by introducing a Printed Circuit Board (hereafter, PCB) containing Surface Mounted Device (hereafter, SMD) LED symmetrically spaced on a ring with the LED light illumination facing forward and outward from the headlight. This DRL is dual featured; first featured as additional lighting for driving when selected and the second feature as accent lighting when participating at a car show with the user ability to remotely choose an LED color shade that matches or contrasts the color of their vehicle. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    An object of the Invention is to overcome some of the drawbacks relating to the compromise designs of prior art devices as described above. The embodiments reside in the Single color or multiple color LED angel eyes halo headlight. A circular round motor-vehicle or non-motor-vehicle headlight enclosure  2  with a parabolic or non-parabolic reflective base  32  and a circular opening  30  opposite the reflective base  32 . The circular round headlight enclosure  2  further comprises a clear crystal glass lens  4  containing a main lighting device lamp  18  and containing a ring characteristic of a halo with more than one LED  8  with light illumination facing forward and outward from the headlight through the clear glass lens. 
         [0005]    A headlight enclosure with an area around the main lighting device lamp at the reflective base  32  and on the internal circumferential wall contains a PCB  8  containing more than one single color or multiple color SMD LED symmetrically spaced and visibly facing forward and outward. PCB  8  is located on the inside of the headlight immediately behind the clear crystal glass lens  4 . Extended from the PCB  8  are wires that extend from the base of the PCB  8  inside of the headlight to exit outside of the headlight with a rubber grommet (not shown) to a connector  10 . 
         [0006]    A headlight enclosure allows for the interchangeability of a selection of lamps as the main lighting device lamp  18 . The main lighting device lamp  18  is an independent lighting source then that of the PCB  8  SMD LED ring. The main lighting device lamp  18  uses the vehicle OEM wiring and switching systems to supply power. 
         [0007]    The backside of the headlight includes a lamp receiving area in the form of a cylindrical base  34  containing the headlight retention assembly where the lamp shade  6  is attached to the headlight and to also contain a lamp retaining spring  12  and lamp retaining spring clip  14  to tightly retain the main lighting device lamp  18  and the pliable rubber like boot  16  to cover and encapsulate headlight enclosure  2  and weather proof the headlight lamp receiving area. 
         [0008]    Provides 50% more lighting over OEM headlights. 
         [0009]    Additional lighting is provided by the PCB  8  SMD LED with light illumination facing forward and outward from the headlight providing a switchable addition lighting system. This lighting system can be setup to provide additional lighting for safety. When this lighting is used as a Daylight Running Light (hereafter, DRL), which is employed on many new ears of this day, the DRL can provide noticeable lighting to other drivers and aid in the prevention of vehicular accidents. 
         [0010]    Includes a wireless transmitting device  22  to send signals remotely to a wireless receiving device and signal processing circuitry that then pass the signals via wire harness  28  to headlight enclosure  2  to PCS  8  SMD LED on a ring characteristic of a halo for color selection, color intensity, turn on all LED, turn off all LED, and selectable modes of color patterns remotely based on a users choice. The wireless transmitting device  22  can be but not limited to a smart phone device with a user interface application, Bluetooth transmitting device, Internet Packet (IP) addressable device, Infrared transmitting device and Radio Frequency (RF) transmitting device. The wireless transmitting device is powered by a battery source. 
         [0011]    Includes a wireless receiving device  20  to receive and process remotely received signals with a signal processing circuitry to the SMD LED on the PCB  8  ring characteristic of a halo for color selection, color intensity, turn on all LED, turn off all LED, and selectable modes of color patterns based on a users choice. The wireless receiving device  20  can be but not limited to a Bluetooth receiving device, Internet Packet (IP) addressable receiving device, Infrared receiving device and Radio Frequency (RF) receiving device. The wireless receiving device and signal processing circuitry  20  is powered via wire to the vehicle battery source. 
         [0012]    Includes a wiring harness  28  from the wireless receiving device and signal processing circuitry  20  to contain one or more connectors  10  connected directly to headlight enclosure  2 . 
         [0013]    SMD LED emits a solid color of any color shade or of a multiple color of any color shade changeable from signals carried from a wiring harness  28  and then from the signals from the wireless receiving device and signal processing circuitry  20 . 
         [0014]    Allows a user the ability to choose to bypass by way of harness wire  10  the wireless transmitting device  22  and wireless receiving devices signal processing circuitry  20  to directly connect to OEM wiring for the single color LED headlight if the user wants the headlight color and intensity settings to be set to default settings. 
         [0015]    Includes the latest in present day SMD LED made in many types shapes, emitting radius, viewing angles and levels of brightness and illumination.
