Exclamation halo light issues

i bought some halos last year. almost immediately the rubber for the water not to get it started to peal or break.

Have you guys had similar issues and what have you done to correct it.

im thinking about the halos on the link below, but i dont want to spend 2 bills then the same thing happening.

Mine did the same thing after a year and even started to get water spots inside of them. I guess thats what we get for buying shitty chinese parts. My remedy is getting a nice set of OEM headlights

the rubber doesn't have any affect on water getting into the lights. that is solely the job of the sealer between the lens and the housing. the rubber is only attached to the lens itself, it doesn't seal up anything.

hold on just a sec though. there is a fix for the rubber...

yeah a lot of people take the Halo headlights apart and reseal em cause the stuff that the factory puts on em are either shitty or they dont put a good enough bead of sealent around the light causing it to do that

to me there just for looks unless you get actual HID's for em then youll be able to see alot better at night cause if you get some that comes with the bulbs 9 times out of 10 they suck so if you get any your best bet is to get HID's as well

-the point, is for looks.

-whistler mod

-had halos, got tired of them, now i can't stand seeing them, but don't see them as "rice"... that term gets used entirely too randomly. but yeah, I went to the whistler mod, probably the only style other than stock i'd go with on a camaro. the other aftermarket options do nothing for me in the looks department, performance wise, you'd be better off with one of the projector styles.
