Both halos are illuminated by one light fixture, which originates from a socket behind the inner halo. The halos themselves are not LED 'bands' like the tail lights or the newer BMW headlights.
Regardless, I'm happy with my purchase. They look better than the yellow halogens and honestly, the inner halos are unnoticeably brighter when the X5 is driving toward you on the road. Only slight variations in brightness when you're standing 5 feet in front of the car.

Don't get me wrong they do look really good. In fact, my wife has an'07 X5 and her only complaint are the yellow lights. I may very well go this route.
