Default Aac halo problem

so couple weeks ago halos for my driver side go out...i go to tommy and he said that the ballast burned out. so i had them send me a new ballast and the halos were lit...but they weren't illuminating like all my other ones. tommy tells me that i have to get new halo rings. it came out of tommys mouth first, but now i will have to say it myself. please guys dont get halos from there...i just always seem to be having problems with them.

Look at your other ballast, make sure you wired the same way, if the wires arent hooked up right they wont fully lite up.

they are super fragile. My set snapped when trying to put them in. I went to Lightwerks and they put a new set of Angel Eyes and they came out perfect.

I'm pretty sure you went we are all better off WITHOUT halos. Yeah I had them on my ride, but only for a short term before selling it so no way of me knowing their longevity. Not really a fan anymore....
