GRR headlights!!!

ok so tonight on a run to taco bell with the lady i noticed in the drive-thru that the led's in my right headlight werent on. i got back to her house to see that both halos and the 3 side leds are out, but the low beam and hi beam work, so everything that is led doesnt work. however, it doesnt quite fit perfectly, and the weather stripping at the top sometimes pops out a little, as the guy who put em in had to cut them to get them in. but, i havent driven through any serious weather for a while, and im sure they went out just recently, as im sure i would have noticed right away. i havent opened the hood to look yet since its a bit too dark, but im praying to god that something that plugs in is just a tad bit loose and needs plugged back in. do you guys have any suggestions on what i should do? if the bulbs are soaked to hell how much would that cost to fix?

It's almost always a bad ground on those goofy-ass halos.


I mean, those sleek european high performance lamps.

TA you're so mean, lol. But I gotta agree...partially. There are a couple halo lamps I've seen that are pretty cool lookin, and others that just look god awful.

But yeah, just check all the connections, make sure they're secure, redo them if you have to. If that doesn't work, start tracin wires. You'll find it eventually, lol.

I kinda like the looks of the halos, but I hear that the fit and quality control is less than great.

I would take a CLEAN set of stock headlights over the Halos, but many of the camaros I see have dirty headlights that are just an eyesore!

seeing the stock headlights so clean makes me wonder if i should have gotten the chrome halos over black. the black kinda blends to well with my NBM. i realize now that when i first saw halos on revos camaros, the black stood out very well against his red. my black kinda just blends with my blue, and to me that contrast is what made it so cool looking. maybe i should have gotten chrome...
