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.

DOES NOT FIT 99-01 DODGE RAM PICKUP SPORT MODEL(9007 LOW BEAM AND 9004 HIGH BEAM) <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.

did you fix your lights? I bought the same after market kit as you, maybe differnt bulbs H1 and 6000k for my Ram SS/T
and they are running Hot on hi beam and the hi beam is acting as it is a daytime running light constantly on also added the relay harness and nothing. whats the fix to get these working

they ALL are prewired for the 9007 sport harness from china.whether they are advertised that way or not.. we all had the same problem... you have to swap two of the wires around... blue and orangeI think but cant remember for sure... I have the ones hans has with actual separate high and low bulb not fake projector... there's about a thread a month on this so just keep looking and you will find the one with the directions...And dont forget to complain to where you bought them if they get enough complaints they may eventually fix it but they have been wired this way since at least 3 years ago when I bought mine...
BTW they are way brighter once you fix the wiring...

^Thank you for explaining it. I ended up complaining to the company and they let me keep the lights and gave me a full refund. By the time I got the grill on my truck the snow hit montana and I havn't gotten a chance to redo my harness or change bulbs around. I still havn't figured out if Im going to change the harness around or get new lights.
Good luck!

Cool...I left some feedback on the installation youtube videos It funny there were alot of complains from other having the same problem...

Hmmm. Seem like the stock ones work good nuff 4 me. If it works don't fix it I always say.

thanks guys I did complain to ebay seller, they openly mentioned they had problems with the smoked spyder ones melting, yet they still sale them, leaving peoples lives at risk.

left me hanging, as they try to solve my problem due to the wiring issue. I am not going to ship them back I will bite the bullet on this, I cant with a clear conscious send them back to be sold to someone else and put there life at risk due to melt down.

in addition I emailed complaints on the spyder site. for these lights.

sorry I'm new to this
 

thanks again

You could say that... but then unless your truck is completely stock your a hypocrite right?
seriously though... To each his own stock lights dont hold a candle to mine once I took the 5 minutes to swap the two wires... and I like the updated look.

when you swapped the 2 wires, (which ones)
do you meen from the stock dodge headlight plugs, or ? ballasts ?

in addition to that, did you still have to use 1 or 2 relay wiring harnesses.
or are they now just plug and play.

I'm still working on the issue.

I seen the post on utube.

COMMENTS:


FYI these are not wired correctly for the non sport rams and need to have two wires that have to be swapped to function correctly and reach full light output

@fathergratwick Our lights will not fit Sport models.. but we do provide the harness for them

I'm waiting to hear back from them now with a guarantee the wiring harness will resolve the issues

yeah I'm fathergratwick (dont ask) I posted that..
from what I found the ground is switched with the high beam pin on the lights...switch these two around and everything should work correctly.
I actually found the diagram here from another member a few years ago telling me which ones to swap I searched to find it but the above was all I found...
sport rams have two plugs and use 9007 bulbs and another I believe.
If the weather clears up I try to pull one of mine and see what wires I swapped...

thanks I will be seeing my mechanic tuesday.

thanks for your efforts, will keep this tread posted.

Here's some pics of my light harness this is what it looked like after I swapped the wires....I swapped it on the truck side of the harness because it was easier.

Mine Are Finally Working. Both Hi-Beam And Low-Beam Independently.
The Issue With My Set, Was With The Low-Beam Wiring.

SWITCHED: The Positive And Negative On The Low-Beam,
And They Seem To Be Working Fine For Now.

No Relay Harness
No Load Resisters
No Anti-Flickering Capasitors
No HID Warning Canceller
After Market Parts Needed.

Thanks For Your Efforts.

good to hear... Of course you'll never get the distributor to admit to that... Too much liabitily after they have sold hundreds, or perhaps thousands that were wired incorrectly...
