Hey Whats up guys,

So I have single LED's 10mm like the audi lights they look pretty cool but I have 2 that went out.
I have serious condensation problems.
I also have several of the lights on the passanger side that are not pointed correctly.
And lastly I have scratches on the inside of the headlights creating a foggy look on the passanger side.


Since these lights didnt turn out that great and I have so many things that are wrong with Im thinking about taking them out and bondoing over painting it black then installing halo's????
What do you think I should do???

I say fix the LEDS, you will keep on fixing them. I bet they went out due to condesation. I had the same issue with my strips. But then I got the sealer from nissan and removed the old stuff, and no more problems!

agreed. also, i think if you run your halos with your reflectors the light bounced out from the concave design of the headlight will drown out the light from the halo. That's why you typically see halos with projectors, because the beam of light from the projector is focused outwards and won't hit the back of the halo. Just my thoughts. And fogs too? dang dude, you're trying to light up the entire road huh haha :chuckle:

ive had so many problems w/ my fail-a$$ LED's as my parking lights... then i had a halo ballast go on me, to date, i've replaced 6 superwhite LED's from my parking lights, 1 halo ballast, and realignment on my projectors 2 times. if ur gna throw projos in there, realize they are HEAVY. and that u cannot use the self alignment tool/screw anymore. i propped mine up w/ those lil zigzag dividers from a fishing tackle box cus they are light, and can take the abuse of bumps (hence zigzag) and can take the higher temperatures. (under the headlight cup) keep this in mind for future reference.

and ive said it before- i'll say it again- the more electronics/electrical items u have in there, the more things to fix.

our headlights look bada$$ sexy, but practicality after all said and done is poop. lol
