Angel eye Headlights

[forbiddenpleasures]

HeyI was just wondering if anyone has a problem with their angel eyes. I just got mine in August and the passenger side has blown out three times since I got them. Any suggestions of why this is happening?

Look at the wiring closely and check for any bare wire strands touching the chassis causing a short. And make sure the wires for the highbeam and lowbeam didn't accidently get crossed.

Did you have any problems with the passenger side light before you installed the Halos?

I'm having the same problem, only for the drivers side. The low beam burnt about 2 days after I installed them(about a month ago), and my wife told me she noticed the high beam out this morning.

The only thing about mine is that there can't be any bare wires bacause everything was weather wrapped and simply plugged into the existing harness, unless I cut something during the install.


Triple checking all of the wiring is about the only option for problems like this. Unless you want to get into rewiring all of it, which is probably what I'll need to do. But if it comes to that I'm going back to stock.

Most of the LEDs used in aftermarket headlight setups just weren't set up to be run long turm. The resistance that is supposed to be "inlined" with them just dosn't cut it and the lights tend to burn out premiturely.
You can check into that as well.

Good luck.

Mine are H3 bulbs burning out, not LED's Sam, and I think Forbiddens problem is the actual head lamp, not the angel eyes.

I think I had H2s in mine. Hey, do you have a wiring harness along with your headlights or did you just wire them in as your would your stockers?

Sometimes, when you use a higher tared bulb, the oem socket, wires, etc just dosn't want to cut it. You may have to use a relay somewhere to help them from popping.

Just a thought.

Mine have a harness that has the relays inline for the angel eyes, but I'm not sure if it does for the actual headlights. It plugs into the stock harness though, so I may need to check the stock part of it. Thanks Sam.

Hey thanks, I didn't have any problems till I got the headlights in august... the passenger side has gone out three times already and it is just the low beam headlight

[forbiddenpleasures]

the headlights are wired just like the stock ones....

i didn't have Angel eyes..but i did have projectors, and they burnt out too often for me.Plus i just started to hate them more and more....Stock lights own me 4 life!!Plus stocks give off a much better light pattern in my expereince. Go HID but if not stay stock and pick up some silverstars. Aftermarket headlights are just not 4 me.
