how do replace LED bulb on Halo Projectors
i got Halo projectors and the halo bulb is gone.. so i need to replace it..
does anyone here know how to do it?
once i get the projectors opened, how do i replace it.. does it require any sodering?
and are there high power LED bulbs that are brighter or they all the same brightness?

Rep Power: 0 The best person to ask about all the halo problems is whelan he is the man.. i can answer the qestion tho since i changed mine since the stock resitors were too small.. you need to go to radio shack and get some leds and then some resitors to go with them.. you will need to soder the resitors to the leds so that they work properly then make sure to seal the lights up tight with silicone and let them dry for a day or so.. if you have any more questions pm me or talk with whelan.. peace

Rep Power: 0 what type of LEDs are the brightest?
300, 1000, 2600cdm?? the higher the number the brighter they are?
and what kinda resistors? or jsut any kinda?

Rep Power: 0 i used 2600 cdm led's and 470 ohm resistors and my lights have been running now for like 2 solid months with no problems.. you might as well aslo change the angel eye bulb as well since it is known to burn out quick as mine did..

Rep Power: 0 yah there are brighter led's and yes this is for the ring.. the higher resistors you use the better it is since it wont let the lights over heat it self and blow the resisitors which cause the light to fail...

Rep Power: 0 Here's an important equation to know:
V = IR
Voltage = Current * Resistance
Check the ratings on the LEDs. If they're listed for 20mA, that's 0.02 amps. Car voltage is 13.8v.
13.8 = 0.02 * R
13.8 / 0.02 = R
690 = R
So, for that particular LED, to limit the current to it properly, you need a 690 ohm resistor.
(also make sure the LED is designed for car voltages)
