Default Well I'm pissed

Well I bought these spyder projection halos privately for 160 and not gonna lie they look nice. Anyways I installed them and finaly got them to my mechanic for him to adjust them cuz they're shiningbdown but he didn't cuz be said there's no point. They're melting the plastic and in about 3 hours you'll have a whole, they don't meet the trucks standards. So basically I got jipped off and down 160 bucks.

Why don't you contact the manufactorers of the light and see what they have to say about the situation. I know your not the original purchaser but it couldn't hurt.

well if you or the guy before you was running HIDs then yea you can melt the housing if the lights are left on for too long. If thats the case, most ebay projectors come with a little sticker stating that the lights are not approved for use with HIDs and then you're stuck with a melted housing that no one will replace.

yeah well I guess I can contact the manufacturer

They are the eBay ones and have a sticker saying it cannot have HIDs
I'm gonna see if I can get a reasonable price from a pawn shop or something. Even if they don't pay me 160 and pay me lower it's better than nothin
