Default Halo Maintenance...HELP!

Ok, I got the halo's and the bulbs burned out. I got them from a guy off here, and I want to get them fixed, but don't know how to go about doing that. Not sure if they would come apart very easily or if I want to even do that. What should I do? Besides the fact that they are only visible for like an hour and a half a day. I have seen some that have an LED and they look pretty bright. Help me.

Same thing happened to me last night. I posted and haven't got any replies back yet. I do know that someone on here has done it and did a write up on it. I can't find that thread anywhere.

Let me know if you find anything. It sorta sucks. Not that it is a big deal though. I just know that they have the potential to light up and bright at that. I would rather have them to full working order.

Mine lasted about 1 yr. The halo still works on mine b/c 1 of the 2 LED's in it went out. It's just dimmer then the other side.

I'm thinking that the best bet is to try and find a used one to replace the whole light. Or try to find another person to go half in (if you need opposite sides) and buy new ones.

Orangeapeel - what side did yours go out on?
