CCFL Halos took dump......
I have the CCFL ebay projector headlights and my driverside halos stopped working. They are less than a year old, and of course the ebay guy I bought them from won't replace it. It's my own fault though because even when I first bought them, the driverside halos always took longer to turn-on and become as bright as the passenger side.
I searched on here and couldn't find anyone that tried to fix these....so anyone out their have to repair their CCFL halos yet???? Thx
Anyone know where I can get replacement CCFL Halo's?

OK, I'll attempt to take to headlight apart and measure the CCFL. The headlight is still in great condition and I remember reading somewhere that taking a headlight apart involes "heating in an oven" I'll search some threads on here about headlight disassembly, then I might give it a shot. Thanks for the responses

Hey, i had the same problem. my passenger side halo's just stopped working for no reason. took everything apart and there is a little box inside the lights, i can almost bet ya thats your problem. Thats what was bad on mine. I will have to find where i ordered the little box from. your halo's themselves are not bad, they say those things are good for like 40,000 hours or something stupid. you just need this little box. i will pm you later where i got them. i also got smart and ordered two, just in case the new one was brighter.
