Default Crappy Halo's??

I've had a set of chrome halo's for about a year now and they never were as bright as my stock ones even with the yellowed lenses. I even put in some aftermarket bulbs.Anyone else have this prob. I have to put my high beams on just to see at night could it be just a ajustment problem? Also the rubber around the light is drying out and coming off of the light. I'm about to polish the lenses and put the stockers back on. Any thoughts anyone?

Dunno guess its a case by case basis, had mine for a year now and they work fine and brightness was never an issue to me. Seemed just as bright as always, but then again maybe Im not as picky as a lot of guys in the HID crowd. It also could be my car is always garage kept, but if yours is too then I would venture to say you got a bad batch. Either way, if you arent happy with your halos, it makes sense to return to the stockers.

Mine are almost as bright as the stockers but just not quite up to par...I can still see just fine but adjusting them was a pain. the clear on my light is kind of flaking in areas but its never bother me and isnt noticable.
