For the busted halo rings I just spent the last few hours installing! Now I have the joy of ripping my headlights apart and taking these rings out. FAIL!

I had this happen. Now I always test with a battery prior to diassembly of my lights. They will replace them, after you send the broken part back. Or they will sell you another so you dont have as much down time. Not an easy choice either way.
I believe there are other manufacturers but have yet to use them. I have been lucky and my lights are still working. Next time they go out though, I will be looking at the Night Owl system.

JDP halos are the best but you have to have RS headlights

This happened on my rear afterburner lights...they all worked when tested but then a week later i had baf leds scattered...they were willing to replace but i didnt care to undo the lights again so i just disconnected them and left it at that...

Classic! Been surprisingly long since we've had one of these threads.

I'll chime in with my latest too...

Went to C5Fest Indy so they could do warranty work on some stuff they installed for me the year before at Indy. Now, the RGB foot wells I have are "twitching" and one only glows white.

As always, great stuff!
