    I mentioned the LEDs going out a few months ago, but I doubt I'd get refunded since they had already been on the truck for a few months.

    Haven't replaced them because I don't have the time or tools to replace them right now.

    It would be a real pita to take the housings apart again just to replace that

    Exactly. Would have to take everything apart and then have to repaint the shrouds as well.

    I should have painted my shrouds but I could never decide on a color. The chrome on one of the shrouds started coming off just from touching it too much.

    Takes about an hour to take my headlights apart, I don't have an oven so I have to use a heat gun. Not worth my time to spend a whole day on my headlights again because a part failed. Still have headlights so that's all I care about.

    The newest rings are much more reliable than the older variants now that they have aluminum backings and better quality overall. :cool:
