Looking for halo projectors...browsed a few threads with dead links so just thought i'd ask...

Not looking to go cheap so other options & opinions are welcome.

A friend of mine got halo projectors off eBay for his Suburban. He has had them about a year and a half and one of the halos is completely out and the other is half out. Don't remember how much he spent but I don't think they were cheap.

All of the ebay projectors are cheap (quality wise). You can make em work though. Just be sure to silicone all edges, and clear coat the lenses. The leds should be replaceable too.

I bought a whole halo projector front end for my 98 hoe. The passenger sidde corner marker with the light in it. Has gotten condensation in it already after about two weeks. I've discovered now...to silicone the edges...but how can I clean out my lens to get rid of that foggyness?

You can do one of two things. You can take the housing out of the truck, take the bulbs out, and blow it out with compressed air......or if you don't have a compressor, just leave it sitting out overnight and it will evaporate.

to honestly tell you the truth they are more for looks than for performance my lows suck a$$ cant see a guy even wearing a reflective jacket so i have to use my brights.
the leds on the side go out in less than a year and the plastic feels tough but is cheap because it easily cracks.

I just bought the chrome DEPO's for my tahoe and ddm 55w and they are doing fine to me, pretty damn good cutoff too compared to stock lights.. I'm not a big fan of the halo's only looks good on bimers to me.. but to each his own ya know lol

 

[nytahoe]

Ebay just search ( 00-06 tahoe depo ) you'll see them...

I have the same headlights (except black). I have HIDs and they have a very good cutoff. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them...

i had sum bout 2 yrs ago...after about a yr they started condensating, then after 18 months the bulbs went out, then the halos started fading away..sure they look different @ 1st but like evryone was tryin to tell me several yrs ago...just get hid's...I finally did & I think they look waaay better on my truck...

but if u insist....when condensation does start, u can do this little trick....
from a paper towel, tear up little pieces of the paper towel.roll up little pieces into little balls, dump'em inside the plastic housing let them roll around wicking up all the condensation and dump! takes about 5 minutes

IMO, if you're going to go with Halo's, replace the LED halo's with CCFL's. Much brighter, longer lasting.

Tell me more please!

i have halos, took em out, lights output was no good. But they did look cool, to me, but i was looking into the ccfl's instead. That would make them look alot better, w/ the retro im going to do..

Anyone know how hard those are to install? take light apart, take halo out, put in ccfl halo and done? (right?

What is all this CCFL talk???

Edit: I got it. Cold cathodes, right? I can't believe I didn't know about those already! I don't mod my boxes though.

How are you supposed to use those for halos though?

Not sure how to get pics to show up w/o loading to photobucket, but if you click here, should be a pic of them. They are halo rings. But reading up real quick, led might be better..

but this is ccfl, basically a different halo ring.
