105529, Halo ring bulb replacement?
Posted by mxracer04, Nov-18-11 08:03 AM
I have a 1996 eagle talon that came with halo projectors in it, I wired up the halo rings the other day and minutes after having them on they blew. I took out the head light and was looking inside of it to see if there are bulbs to replace, does anyone have an idea of how to replace them or if they are even replaceable?

They are likely cheap LEDs that are not easily serviceable. Ditch them, or if you really want that look, buy another set of cheap projector housing headlights. Keep in mind they are cheap crap though.

The easiest way to do it is to pull the projector out then split the lens from the housing to get the halo out. i got frustrated and tossed mine after i got it together and the bulb blew when i hooked it up.

I was looking at just the ring on ebay and they have led rings and a ccfl. Are those all cheap too?

Hey man, there is a member here that has extensive knowledge with leds. I believe his name is Dave and he has some photos and captions of his led replacement in the halo ring.

You can find it here on his webpage.

If you have the patience and time, by all means go for it. If not, then you may have to buy another set of headlights. Hope this helps.

Agreed, you get what you pay for. IMO if you really want projectors and Halos, get a retrofit done, higher quality for sure. I, as well as a few others on here do retrofits. Its not cheap, but the end result is quality.. GL with the fix.
