i have halos and one of the leds went out how do i get in there to replace the led can i just pop the front cover off?
 
i think you should search the forums and read about how to put them in the oven to loosen the glue etc...and are you sure its the bulb and not the wire? dont leds last like 100000 hours?
 
This seems to be a very common problem with aftermarket headlights, especially the ones bought off of ebay, normally after a month or so. Check here to see if it helps any about baking the headlights, there is a great step by step with pictures on how to do it but I don't believe I have the link, I'm sure someone will pop in and give the link, but this may help some http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136800 . Hope that helps. Oh and the reason they burn out most of the time is lack of a resistor, but yes normally LED's last 100,000 hours or so, but when wired correctly/with an appropriate resistor.

not necessairly.....there are LED's that do not need resistors since they are designated 12V....
