Almost completed demon eyes project but...

So me and my friend have been working on my lights for a couple of days now, and we were finally done with the demon eyes part. We decided to mount the lights to check thins out. The passenger side halos didnt come on probably due to wiring or somehting i dont know yet but everhting else (clearance strips the halos on the driver side) came out awesome. But the housing needed to be cleaned a little better since we could see marks on the housing. So we took out the lights to clean the housing but my friend pulled a little too hard on the housing and snap the ring in half......****!! so now I have 4 rings all in different conditions... one lights up fine, one lights up fine but its broken in half and the other two are fine but dont light up.

Hopefully Advanced Automotive can sell me a single ring or better yet just give me a ring.

Ok im sad posting this, Im going to go cry now

Did you splice the halos into the clearence strip or the side marker? The wire leighth seems that it be the clearence strip, but I cant remember if the clearence strip is on when the parking lights are!

It was due to the ring becoming voltage sensative but reducing the wire length cleared it right up. This only happen with some of the rings and I think I has something to do with the outside temperature causing the rings to need a higher voltage spike to light up.

-If you are in a COLD place trim about 2" form the ballast wire.

So basically I make the wire connecting to the black lil box shorter and the rings will light up fine? Because my Hi beam halo sometimes light up really dim but after I move/tap the wires around and if im lucky the rings become fully lit. I emailed you about this.

Good work.
I've seen a lot of pictures of just the demon eyes on.
I want to see that contrast between the demon eyes and the HIDS.
Also I want to see them on a car.
Anybody yet?
