nope, every angeleye on the market is cursed. every set i have install/ever heard about has burned out so far. i was lucky, mine lasted 3 months. your best bet is to just send them back to were you got them from for warrenty.

I just tried that and they wanted to keep them and shit so i was like fuck it. They wren't gonna fix them anyways i know they won't. So which is the best way to go about fixing these, I'm taking the cover right off the one and gonna clean it up and shit.

Edit: I wonder, does everyone that have the dual halos get one that burns out, if so maybe its the projector heat that burns it out?

Edit Edit: Ok well if i were anyone dont ever ever buy these piece of shit dual halos there fuckin garbage I just took the other one out and they are both not working. So my advice to anyone do not but angel eye projectors unless there the reallly good ones.

I just bought a set of dual halo's for my '97 integra, cuz someone backed into my front and cracked the stock ones. i haven't installed them yet, but am wondering if anyone knows how I could wire them up so I could turn the halo's on off a toggle switch....

I'm not gonna flame anybody, I don't really like angel eyes on cars other than BMW's, same with M3 mirrors etc...

It wasn't too bad when only a couple people had them but that's not the case anymore.

Excuse me for even commenting though, I'm trying not to be an asshole but I had to voice my opinion.

I agree, it's just like how the altezza lights should only be on altezzas. Also if they were made better. You spend more time fixing and tweeking than you do enjoying them.

The Hella E36 CELIS retrofit lights are probably one of the best on the market.
