    Default NEED HELP with projector halo problem

    I jus bought some halos for my tc. installed both sides and the left work fine halos and projector. The rite side however is giving me issues the halos won't even turn on. so first thought was that the halos were bad nope i hooked them to the left side and they work. so i am thinking that maybe the connector from the car is bad. and thats why the halos won't lite up the parking lights work and the top led's jus not the halos... anybody heard of this before? any solutions or sugestions i was thinking to attach a switch.

    You may want to check all the wiring for any shorts or bad grounds. In other cases its just a blown fuse. Now there maybe a chance that when the lights were shipped, they have been damaged in some way, a good personal friend of mine had that happen and tore his hair out trying to figure out why his lights wouldn't work. Make sure all your connections are tight and you may want to try spraying some DI Electric Grease in the sockets/connectors, plus this way you'll keep any water/condensation forming and rusting/corroding out the socket and connection. When in doubt, refer back to the wiring manual.

    haha these didn't come with a manuel my luck huh. Ok so the funny thing was on the right side didn't turn on, and the left side did and when i put the right on the left they worked fine. so after installing them when i hit the alarm and ur lights flash well i noticed that both sides turned on haha so i was thinking a wire problem then today i noticed when i armed the car only one halo turned on the right side. this is the second time this has happened to me. drives me nuts. im going to wire them to a switch tomorrow with a friend but i have a feeling the halo for some reason burnt out already which is weird. even though it hasn't been on for the past like week i check it by pulling it out and puting it on the left again and yup one of the rings is off. i tapped the back and it flickered but i don't know what that means wire problem bulb problem i dunno

    Before you go and alter anything, contact the seller and see if they are under warranty and get a new set. Its possible they sold you a bad set.

    So are these full halo projectors or did you add halos to your OEM? Quality control on these aftermarket lights can be spotty. They look good but there are fitment and issues with Halos/LEDs burning out. There are a set of fuses in the black box next to the battery under the hood. Each headlamp operates via it's own single 10A fuse.
