Halo Projector Headlights

So I got some halo projector headlights back in April. They have worked fine, until now.... About a week ago they started acting up. My parking lights were all working correctly (except for one halo which is completely out now). My drivers side regular bulb was completely dead, passenger side bulb was fine. On both sides the bright bulb was on, but not very bright. So i turned the brights on. Only the passenger side bulb works, drivers side is still as it was before. So to me this sounded like a fuse, and it was. I replaced the fuse and everything was fine. Come that night, everything is back to as it was before I replaced the fuse.... What is going on?!?!?!? Are the halos drawing too much power and killing the fuse? Would unpluging the halos and leaving the LED bulb and the w5w parking light bulb connected resolve the problem? Any help would be greatly apprectiated! Here are the lights I have if it helps....

Re: Halo Projector Headlights

leds are low quality so once they go out, they should not draw any power. it has to be something else. did you check your connections? sometimes the harness plug gets corroded. check the grounds too under the bumper.

Re: Halo Projector Headlights

I checked everything. It all seems to be good. What if I replace the fuse with a bigger one? Could this possibly work?

Re: Halo Projector Headlights

maybe, but you will have a higher chance for a fire when the wires exceed their max amp rating.

It might set your car on fire when the wires melt.
