I've had my black halo projectors for almost two years now. I recently noticed that there is like a clear film on both headlights that is starting to flake off. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

I've had mine for over a year now but haven't noticed any flaking, they definately don't look brand new though...can you get pics of it?

 

both of my friends have had theirs flaked, i got mine a while before them and they're fine.

however i fucked up mine with some painters tape lol. left a residue so i had to buy new ones.

 

isnt painters tape only purpose not to leave residue?

 

Was it the blue painters tape?

 

nah it was green, i didnt think it would leave a residue

 

goo-gone probably woulda removed the residue...and it couldnt have been painters tape, unless you left the tape on their for multiple weeks

 

My halos have been a nightmare for me. Upon recieving them, one of the LED's for a halo did not work, After a month of trying to get ahold of the guy i bought them from, he sends me a set of the TRI LED's. which one of those were bad. I had asked him for an LED for the HALO and one for the TRI SET. Well i fixed the tri set and gave up on the halo. Few months down the road i have a bump and break the passenger Housing, Luckily i only broke the part that bolts on, nothing that gorrila glue and water proof tape didnt fix. Few more months i see that my halo is acutally melting a hole in the front of the housing. Damn things have been pissing me off. Question though, my housing says not for high output lights. I thought those lights burned cooler and were brighter?

 

Haven't noticed that problem... But I've had to replace the entire set of LED's, and re-caulk the housings.

 

Ive Replaced To Sets Of Silverstars And Removed And Used A Blowdryer To Dry Em Out And Reseal Em But They Still Get Condensation

 

mine are flaking

 

So are the halos really that shitty quality-wise?

 

yeah. they really are

 

well the top is only flaking right now, i'm just worried that its gonna get really bad i'll have to get new ones... does anyone know why they are flaking or what exactly is flaking off?

 

Damn I wanted to get a set in black for my 'Balt. But after hearing all this; I'm reconsidering.

 

dammit i just got them a month or so ago and they are fine for now, kinda depressing to hear though cuz i love the way they look.

 

Seriously I feel the same way. I started a thread about reliability of them and everyone just said no they are good just get them. Now I am thinking of just doing vinyl eyelids and replace the bulbs in mine so they are brighter, then take the money I would have spent and spend it on an intake....

 

This is a depressing thread. They look so nice, but everyone is saying they aren't what they are cracked up to be.

 

Gotta be a little careful with different bulbs because when you change the wattage on the bulb, you change the load on the harness and can risk melting it. I thought about that before too. I think my halos are running a 55 watt bulb. Somewhere around there.

 

I guess it is really where you bought them i bought mine from krazykustoms.com and mine are awsome dont have a problem with them at all and i have had mine for over a 1 year now

 

yeah i noticed mine are flaking.

 

who did everyone buy theirs from

 

i got mine from cobalt-addiction. i just started to notice them flaking the other day. I haven't even had them in a year yet.

 

Yeah I meant the stock lights. Definitely not getting the halo's after reading all this stuff. Could put that $250.00 in other places and have it last.

 

I could take that 250 paint my stocks make them look good and do some engine dress up or something. I am waiting for these things!
