    I installed my halos a couple days ago, but the bulbs aren't all lighting up.. I'm thinking they aren't getting enough power. What should I do and how?

    Do you think it would help if I somehow connected it to the inside fuse box?

    hook them directly to a 12v battery if thats what you think. Good chance they are defective though if they are brand new.

    Yep defective. If that much of the Leds work on the halo they should all work. What brand are they?

    XSB 2.0 from Retrofit Source. I'll call them up Monday and see if they can hook me up with another pair.

    i had some halos from the retrofitsource too, i believe the original xsb's? i can't remember, but they did the same thing. they're a great company and will for sure give you a brand new pair if they haven't already. when i retrofit my fj i don't think I'll be adding halos again just because i don't want them to go out on me like before.

    It turns out I accidentally blew my warning canceler. I got a brand new pair of 2.0s for a discounted price. The company was very understanding and easy to work with!

    Come on bro, I'd do it. Fjs look clean with halos! Just make sure everything is wired properly and test them before sealing them up. Who knows, maybe the 2.0s fixed the problem you were having.
