I heated up a box cutter and opened a set. I used epoxy to close them. Took some time but it works.

I'm still loving the led strip in the light but to chicken to open them.

Sorry to ressurect this thread but I'm wondering about updates from anyone. Wondering how long everyone's halo lasted before one LED burnt or several LEDs burnt or until the entire halo died off? Please also include brand!

going on 2 years with all the recommendations from this thread for halos, building materials. I had one out for a day, it came back on and hasn't gone out for at least 6 months now. No problems with paint melting on balast either with the way I covered the upper lens with the diffuser and used professional automotive paint/process.

I have the HALOS Morimoto XC RBG, from retro fit source, and the Demon eyes Morimoto XC. what options do I have for powering them? I know about soldering what else can I do?

Does anyone who've done this have pics of where you've wired them in to a 12v line? I'd done this to my G37, but the connection was temporarily connected directly to the battery. I had fuse taps, but ended up trading in the car prior to properly wiring them in. I will be tackling this project yet again, this time on the Z, in a few weeks and wanted to know where people generally tap into a 12v line.

thanks!

Finally decided to give this a whirl. Got my XSBs in this week, looking to get started this weeked.

Has anyone successfully wired in the switchbacks and gotten them to work properly? This thread kind of died down before the XSBs took off. I found a video of them working properly, but no instructions or details are given: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtpnEJZX72c

Also, the installation guide specifically tells you not to use glue to secure the halos. Has this always been the case, even with the older halos?

Has anybody wired their halos to their drls? I have a 2014.

Heed the warnings on page 39 of this thread and avoid the switchbacks. Mine worked perfectly before I sealed up the headlights, but after sealing and reinstalling they no longer work. So now I'm kind of screwed.

Im currently one headlight into the process and trying to finalize how im gonna wire them up. I will prob just tape resistor inside and run its wires outside of the headlights so I can wire them up any way I want incase I change my mind.

Also, a pic of how I attached XSB 3.0s to the shroud incase anybody wondered.
