there are true halo's for sale over at oznium.com

i havent seen anyone upgrade the extremely crappy halo's in the depot/ebay headlights.

My halos are not working anymore, where can I find a replacement for them?

The Architect · 09-20-2009, 09:30 PM

theyre just lit up by two crappy leds i believe, if youre any good at taking apart youre headlights you could do some minor surgery on them with say 6 white led's each for like 10 bucks and have really nice ones.

puetato89 · 09-20-2009, 09:38 PM

i just wish i knew the diameter

kuyachris84 · 09-20-2009, 09:53 PM

I agree the halos do suck.. and are only powered by 2 leds... but I think the projectors themselves do light up the road suffiently... not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

oh, and I don't think anyone has replaced them with neon halos or anything like that. ^^;

puetato89 · 09-20-2009, 09:58 PM

well i want 2 be the first!! (as soon as i find out the diameter)

josevenezolano · 09-21-2009, 12:37 AM

Yes, I need to know the diameter to buy them. Let me know if anybody knows the diameter. Do I need to open the headlight to replace them, right?

Midon · 09-21-2009, 01:26 AM

yes You do need to open you headlights to replace them. I plan on opening my set up to clean them and paint them flat white tomorrow so i will measure the size for the halo

Midon · 09-21-2009, 01:27 AM

and fyi to open them u will need a blow dryer to heat up the seals before you open them or you WILL crack and destroy the cover

Oven works better. Low heat, but even, and when you re-heat them you can use some of the factory silicone to seal with just a small bead of silicone to re-seal.

I didnt get a chance to work on them today I will pull them apart tonight if it stops raining that the only thing keeping me form doing this is the rain

Midon · 09-22-2009, 03:14 AM

Rain forecast in my area through the weekend I really want to paint my headlights but doesn't look like it gonna happen any time soon if y'all don't mind waiting i will measure them when i get then open to paint

puetato89 · 09-22-2009, 08:06 PM

i can wait

Midon · 09-22-2009, 08:34 PM

K the rain gone and it dried out a lot I going to try to get them done tonight. I will post the size as soon as i get the old halos pulled off. Me I think I going to mod the Led ones and find a way to add more led's to it. if i find a good way to do this I will post a DIY at the same Time I do a DIY on removing the lenses from the after market projectors.

The Architect · 09-22-2009, 09:13 PM

that would be awesome.

If i feel brave enough ill be baking them etc and buffing out the clear coat that's peeling of and cleaning up the inside that's dusty and scratched from the also crappy seal job.

whats best to re-seal headlights for a guaranteed no moisture problem?
