shitty headlights

middle led in the right headlight went out on my right headlight. So i tried fixing it and ended up messing up the wiring on the middle led. Now none of the led's on both headlights dont work. thats what i get for buying stupid projectors. Also my gauge cluster lights dont work and neither do my radio or climate control lights.

contact the company, they might send you a new pair and let you keep the broken ones

if you bought them recently tell them the LE's dont work

Dude are you kidding me... I never said LEDs are ricey...I said they look ricey w/ the projectors made for our car meaning LEDs may work for other cars...

As far as I know, you never stated "projectors" or any type of cobalt. So I just assumed. Dont get your panties in a bunch.

i got a set of 3rd generation halos off e-bay and i put some 6k HIDs in them and i dont know if its from the heat of the HIDs but there are small cracks that are starting to appear right where the hood and the headlight are closest, if you look from the top of the headlights you can see a bunch of them.

No, its not the Hid's heating up your housings. Above all it should be the lowest source of heat than your average halogen bulbs. So you cant blame your hid's for the cracks. Your housings are from ebay. THere goes your problem.
