could u post a link ?
your gonna have to find what size halos you need. No matter what you do you're going to need to open up the headlights and swap in completely different halos, unless you have a set of gen 1 projectors then you can just change the led bulbs.

swap out to red led then run the power wire to an acc fuse/wire (you can and should throw a switch in line too)

and of coruse they dont say. see if you can find out what voltage they are from them. bc if they go out that fast on that consistent of a basis then they probably arent 12v leds (or less with built in resistors) and ud need to wire in resistors for them. that would fix the problem of them going out so often but they will also prob get dimmer

What are they going in? You will need to either take the headlights apart and measure the current halos, or find the measurements somewhere on the site depending on what application you have.

The mini h1 retros are 70 mm

Fog lights can use anywhere from 60-75

Or u can get 60 and 75 and run dual halos on the fogs lol

Our LEDs are 12v. Our new leds come pre-wired with resisters as our old ones do not. The resisters in the projectors suck which is why the leds burn out so quickly.
