So today I did some dental work to the Charger to get rid of her summer teeth. The drivers side high beam had 3 out, the passenger side low beam had 3 go out, and the drivers side fog had around 9 out. AAC sent me my replacements a few weeks ago and I finally did some baking and replaced the bad halos. Below are some pics.

Yup, both headlights and one fog had halos that had to be replaced. That was the easiest part, removing the bumper and putting it back together is the pain in the ass.

so what is your method for cracking them open? I have some halos I want to put in my fog lights on the strat to match the halos in the headlights...

For the headlights I put them in the oven at 225 for 15 minutes. Once you take them out they peel right open. For the fogs, you actually have to cut the front of the fog light lens off with a hack saw and glue it back on with silicone when your done.

Update: Once again I have summer teeth! I turned my halo's on tonight and found that another one for my rings has 3-9 leds out depending on their flicker. 3 are out for good and 6 leds flash whenever they want!

I have no clue. It was one of the original ones that I purchased, not one of the replacements

sounds to me like there isnt enough resistance on the halo's. so the led's are getting overpowered and burning out

Good lookin' Ride. That is a lot of hard work, but it paid off.

The halos look so sweet on that ride, but shit how damn aggravating if they keep going out like that, I had aftermarket headlights on my truck with the halos and after tthe first one went out i was pissed and then the second did as well and wouldnt you know it the third did too and i was left with one so i was just pissed and went to factory lights again

Yeah, even though they send free replacements, I doubt that I am going to replace it........I'm over it.

seriously stick a meter on these and read the resistance and hit up a led calculator.
