Well this isn't good...
Long story short, 3 blue LEDs in my driver side fog halo have shorted/burned out. The RGB LEDs are tri-chip and the red and green work fine. I usually run my halos dark orange or amber so it's not really a big deal, but now when I use any color that mixes with blue it looks horrible.
 Now I'll have to get a new ring, remove the housing, cut it open, re-set the ring, wire/seal everything back to normal, and then re-install.... They have been on my car for several months and I use them about an hour a day average. I posted my video on 6/25 and lets say they went bad 9/25. That puts about 90 hours on them. Not quite what I expected but what can you do... (Photos soon) Last edited by awfarley; 10-07-2012 at 11:27 PM. |

Im not sure what I'll do when I take them out. I've thought about an HID kit. I've heard they melt the housing or lens but mine is glass. I doubt I'll go back with halos in them.

 I thought you might have been talking about your headlight retrofit. I remember you doing that a few months back. |

If it's the resistors that went bad, Flashtech just released their v2's which I'm fixing to go with on my retrofit. The v2's have the resistors mounted to a seperate box rather than behind the ring as with the previous model. Just food for thought.
