Need some help with the halos....

The inner "halo" on my passenger side has been going on and off and I decided to take the light out. To my amazement, one of the connectors at the bottom of the entire light snapped off and that's why it was shotty.

If someone knows of an entire replacement bulb with the connectors or whatever, I would be deeply grateful.

Plus I haven't been on here for 9 or so months, so it may have been answered, but that's a helluva lot of posts to go through, and yes I did use the search function.

SOB. thanks for that quick reply. I don't want to shell out anoth $200 for that one part, well two as when I took my car into the dealership, said light ficture actually has a bunch on tiny cracks on the outer shell, like as if someone stepped on my light.

Still am not happy about that, and that happened about 6 months ago.

It wasn't entirely specified what Gen Projectors you had... But if you're 1st Gen then you need some LEDs to fix the halo. 2nd and 3rd are CCFL which can be had off of this website: www.izntrbl.com

No the tab at the bottom of the light where it plugs into to make the connection broke off (right where the circuit board for the light/led is).

I just was looking at ebay at those ccfl's and I might jump on one of those instead.

csementuh,

I have the original angel eye projectors, sorry that I forgot to mention that.

I have the first gen projectors also... If you are handy with a solder iron, just solder the lead back onto that little circuit board with the 3mm LEDs. If you aren't find a friend who is. It isn't that difficult. You could even solder in some bigger/brighter LEDs if you want to...
