Default projector headlight halo problem, help!

So i bought a used xB and after i bought it and got it home, about 3000 miles away i realized one of the halos doessnt work. there are four projector headlights 2 lows and 2 highs, with a halo around each, and one of the four doesnt work. is it burnt out or what i thought leds were supposed to last a long time and there not that old, and if they are toast then can i fix it or do i have to buy a completely new set of headlights? has anyone had this problem? advice?

You'll find that either your halo isn't plugged in correct (I believe it has to be spliced in) or is burnt out. I would attempt to answer the replacement question since I don't have those headlights.

You can change the bulb (9006) to xenox or HID bulbs.

I will say, its only been 2 hours, give people time to reply to your message and you may want to

Ninja edit: you deleted you 7:12 or so post. *snicker*

those headlights are horrible, i had a set for about 2 weeks and gave them away because of the fitment, problems with the wiring, and the halos going out.. they are just litle cheap LEDs in the halos... so those are probly burnt out...

good luck

each halo has its own power wire source. so it light be loose or the LEDs are no good or the resister is no good or the soldering board is no good. but there is two LED per halo so i doubt both are no good. to totally check everything you have to bake your head lights and take it apart to get to the source. i took mine apart and replaced everything to make it brighter and more efficient. so if you got questions, i'll be glad to help.

I am having the same problem. One my my four halo rings isnt lighting up, it is very annoying considering I wired them to a seperate switch in order to just have my halo's on when parked or whatever. They are brand new from zomk speed (ebay halos). I would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on how to fix this, as I will probably end up buying a whole new set as a last resort.
