    Ask visa or my wife. They both constantly remind me how much I've got left to spend.
    OK, so my HALO's have been installed and working fine for about a month now and yesterday I noticed that they were a lot dimmer on the passengers side. When I checked them both HALO's and the LED's were out but the dims and brights still work fine. Has anyone had this problem and without buying new lights what can be done to fix this?? They work on different circuits so it's not a power problem but surly I didn't burn all of them in one month?:mad:

    OK, so I'm the only one having halo problems. Well I'll just answer myself for the sake of others that might want this knowledge later on. I called the dealer and the "angel eyes" headlights are having a problem burning transformers so when both halo's go out this is what happened. You can order a new transformer or any other parts to fix the halos at https://www.oznium.com and I've even added a link on the "how to" for the transformer change.

    Your welcome. I called the distributors and here's what I found out. The first gens of halos were made in china and have inferior transistors and have been burning them out at a rapid pace. The new ones are made in Taiwan and are made with better transformers and I've been told that they have resolved the issue. The company I got mine from swapped my first gens for the new upgrade for free but I had to get a little pissy with them first and make a few calls.
