Halo Led projector lights melting. Help
 
Im losing patience and steam with these headlights.

Below you can catch up on the first few problems I ran into installing these lights.

Now, less then 2 weeks later, they have melted.

Highbeams have melted the plastic. How do I know it was the highbeams? Because it is all I can run in order to see anything. I should of noticed this within the first few days, but the truck has been in the shop for the past 2 weeks and see's night driving for a total of maybe 15 mins a night when I have to go to work.

I have contacted the company and hopefully they stand by their warranty. Either send me something else, or give me my money back.

If I look into different lights, what does anyone suggest?

Aren't those the wrong lights for your truck? Those look like sport model lights that have two bulbs but your truck doesn't look like a sport model.

NOpe. They are for 1500, 2500 3500. The dealer put in big letters not for sports model. The second halo projector is just for looks . There is no bulb in it

Edit, looking at those pics, it looks like maybe I was wrong, are those outer bulbs in a reflector or projector housing? Those are way too small to shed the heat. What wattage and type of bulbs are you running.

Get HIDs fire the projector lens and you won't have to over use the high beams.

never seen that type of projector have a problem with melting the lense but that might be because your wiring is f'd up according to your other thread fix the wiring first you going have to swap the high and low wires.

I found your write up on how to do this on another post.

I was also told that the lights might of come with the wrong bulb for my truck? Which would be why my high beam light indicator is on all the time? Is this something you have heard of?

Outer bulbs? The blinker light? Or the headlight it self.

These are Voltex / Spyder lights and stated direct OE Replacement.

This is what the dealer had stated for these headlights. Other then that no idea about the wattage. The only wiring I had to do, (well at this point my mechanic) was piggy back the led lights to the (drawing a blank... marker lights?)

I guess a picture of them light up would be nice.

They must be wired up wrong. Mine work just fine for high beam and low beam. Here is a pic of mine on low beam (I'm switching to HID low beams of fogs so it will throw more light). I wired them in months ago, so I don't remember exactly how they went.

Just the parking lights.

I just noticed, you have LED's across the whole top section. The rest of the headlight looks the same though. There are tons of headlight options for these trucks.
