Default Possibly blown projectors?

Hey, I bought some halo projectors the other day, and fitted them.
I wired the HALOs to my side lights and earthed them.
I turned them on and they looked awesome but about 10 seconds later, one by one the 4 halos turned off, but the rest of the lights are fine??

Any reason this may be or have i blown the halos?

Cheap bulb... which is typical from what I've experienced from halos. Just buy a replacement bulb from Walmart...

EDIT:... are you talking about your actual halo rings?

Yes the actual halo rings, I dont think you can change the bulbs on the rings themselves.

Iwould contact who you bought them from and have them send you replacements. I remember seeing a DIY on the net somewhere but you shouldn't have to do that with new merchandise. [&:]

I have arranged to send them back but I live in the UK and the seller was from california, It costs nearly £100 to send them back and the lights cost £100.
Pointless.. Any other possibilites for fixing? I have seen replacment halo rings on ebay, are these any good?

Man I've searched everywhere for that halo repair DIY with no success. I wish I could be of more help.

But really, the seller should send you new halos with a pre-paid shipping label to return the defective items. Let them know that's the way you want the problem resolved... That's only right, and that's the way I've seen most businesses handle that type of situation.I don't know... maybe someone else will chime in with something more...
