Default Headlight questions

I have Angel Eyes projector headlights installed on my xB. Sometimes with the original bulbs that came with them one would be slow to light up, 30 seconds or more sometimes. All connections appear to be sound.
I later installed some Silverstars and have started noticing the same symptom, maybe once out of ten times. The offending bulb is on the opposite side from the original bulbs.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

Also two of the LEDs around the high beams have quit completely. How hard are they to replace and is there a good source to purchase replaements?

not sure about your slow-lighting headlights, unless unfortunately it has something to do with the headlight units you have installed and the led's that are also giving you much grief, i am speaking about a possible short in the wiring of these led's or one of many other complications along the same lines. led's are easy to replace if you know how to solder, i buy led's from WWW.SUPERBRIGHTLEDS.COM...

I would check the plugs behind the lights. The wires don't seem to connect very well. I have to check mine ever so often because one comes loose and the light starts winking at people as I drive along. The quality of those lights are so impressive.

never came across this wit my lights and there about a year old... maybe u didnt hook the lights up good? did u check the wires and make sure they are connected? did u solder or splice? use eletrical tape or connectors? an the leds can be switched out... id figure some of u already know that cause i did even before i connected mine up...... an these lights are IMPRESSIVE .... for those who envy an get the same headlight unit's

i would definitely check the actual connection @ the housing. it sounds like a possible loose wire.

i but mine in today they dont fit too well and the halos and leds dont work at all. and i am woundering if anyone out there would know how i could cut the extra plastic from the lens. somr hangs over the fender and i am worried about it waring the paint away over time from the vibrations.
