Ya I might very well take you up on that. I am waiting to here back from Retro-Solutions to see if they have any recommendations, they were very helpful before. I will let you know.

I appreciate it.

I installed my spyder heads lights just like urs. It wasnt hard but mine also came with 6k hids they look nice but I had a problem with my halos being burnt out on one side every time I installed them. Went through two head lights with the same problem. Also idk how long u have had them but my heads have started to peel on the outside which makes them look like poop. Oh well I'm selling mine soon bcuz I have some bilivinc retrofit heads coming in!!! A millions times better and exactly how I want them not no premade design

Yeah mine started to peel also. I just changed the ballast for my halos. Fingers crossed. I'm having a 3m film installed on them to prevent further peeling

Peeling on the outside? Seriously? I've never hear of plastic peeling?? I'm pulling my hair out here. Was thinking of getting the HID bulbs for high beams now too, instead of relaying with the high beams as this may be an inspection issue for me in NC. Did your high beams have HID's? And they are Spyder heads right?

Yeah spider heads, it's the clear coat that is peeling off the headlights (the clear prevents yellowing)

Everything peels eventually. These just seem very premature

This is UNBELIEVABLE to me. I installed PIAA H1 in the high beams two days ago. Lighting is better now, not great, but acceptable. However, just today I noticed that one of my halos was growing dim, and then within a few seconds it went completely out. I turned lights off, then 5 mins later I went back out and turned lights back on, and it was working fine again. It is one of the halos surrounding the high beams. Not sure if there us any correlation, but I am furious. Any ideas why that would happen?
