Projector LED problems

my projectors are wired up so that the halo's are on when the car is on, and my leds are wired to the same wires. The leds are wired in a sequence, but the do not come on. I just replaced all 6 LEDs and still nothing... what could be the problem? Should I wire each one to the power source? any have any advice on this?

no help yet .... I rewired each LED and hooked it back up and still nothing,but if i take out DRL light and put lthe led in there it works... I have my wires hooked up to the DRL wires and its not working, but the halos are... i have the white wires hooked up to the brown wire, and the black wires hooked up to the black wire... what am i doing wrong? Also I noticed a what looks like a LED resistor... should i keep that or get rid of it... as of right now i still have it on there...

they are made to replace 194 bulbs... here's the link to ebay that i got them from
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250268535645

I'm completly confused as to whats wrong with them the only thing I can think of is the resistors that are wired in. I'm going to cut them out and see what happens... its not like I can make it any worse... they don't work as it is...

the resistor is what keeps too much electricity from going to the leds or to dim them. but if you hooked them up to the brown wire then they'll either only be on at night (when the sidemarker would turn on), or with the turn signal depending on whether they are wired in before or after the turn signal. i have it hooked up after the turn signal but before the sidemarker so that they'll only be on at night. pics of the wiring?

Hey dude, the same thing is happening to me. BUT! My halos arent working. They were, then the outside halos went out. Then when I took out my Housings to change my fogs, now three of my halos dont work. WHATS WRONG!!! Does anyone have problems with there halos?

no man... The halos and the LEDs are wired to the same wires. The Halos work just fine all the time. I've never had a problem with the halos. Since the LEDs are wired to the halos why wouldn't the LEDs be working all the time too... your logic doesn't make sense as to the info i gave. Also when I put the LEDs in the side marker, which has no resistor they worked... I haven't tried them with out the resistor in the LED plug in where they really go...

Also they are not hoked up to the blinker, because they don't come on with the blinker either...

as for pics my wiring is the same as the How-To

sry i understood that you had the halos hooked up to the DRL which stands for daytime running lamps and since i have an 07 i automatically thought the dim headlights rather than the amber bulbs earlier yrs would have. and since you had it hooked up to the brown wire on 07 they are only on at night. in that case i really wouldn't understand why the leds would just stop working other than maybe some bad wiring (as in the provided wiring not what you did) because i too had all my leds working and when i put in my HIDs one on each side went out. so the only thing i can say is that either the leds suck or wiring sucks. its just something we kinda have to deal with. i too am gonna replace the leds with the ones off of blackbalt.com
