At this point i think i got a defective halo, since the other 3 halos are working just fine. BUt we will see how long they last as well. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this? Either way im not opening these headlights again any time soon.
could possibly be how you put it in. It says to be extremely careful and not put too much pressure in one spot when squeezing it in. The gel that coats the led's can be punctured easily and break off in chunks.

Naah its not that, i made sure i was extremely careful how i put them in. Even pressure all around. Plus i dont know if you've seen these things they are literately the exact size of the main projector piece. They fit in it like a glove. Plus you can clearly see that the gel coating is still intact and in place. Anyways i sent TRS an email with what has happened, i will keep you guys updated on the whole warranty claim and how cooperative they are.

ok, was just a thought. yeah I have done a few already. They fit in perfect but that metal tab with the wires seems to be a problem for me. When you drilled a hole, how close to the rim did you get? I try to stay away from the edge to keep a clean look but the further you stay away, the more it wants to pop out the headlight. I have already had a customer have one of his pop out and Im gonna have to fix it now.
