FAQ

Installing new headlights on your vehicle can result in fitment issues if they are improperly installed. Many times an alignment post is not inserted correctly, or a bracket is not tightened to the correct torque. In other cases, the incorrect part is being installed. We want to know if you have any installation issues with your new parts as soon as possible, so that we can help you figure out exactly what is wrong. Please contact us so we can help you save time with any questions you might have if something does not appear to fit correctly.

Halo lights are lights arranged in a ring around the headlights themselves. You've probably seen them on some cars, such as BMWs, where they are the factory option. In some cases the effect is achieved with bulbs, while on other vehicles it's done with fiber optics. Halo Lights can be a popular upgrade to make your car or truck stand out at night. Please be aware that most of theHalo lights we sell typically have to be manually wired up to your existing wiring harness. This is because your stock vehicle did not have Halos, and there is no wiring pigtail for them on the factory harness.

HID stands for "High Intensity Discharge". These bulbs use an electric arc rather than the glowing filament in a Halogen bulb. HID headlamp bulbs do not run on low-voltage DC current like a Halogen Bulb, so they require a ballast, which controls and regulates the flow of current. This ballast will require an ignitor to light the bulb. This is either integrated directly into the bulb or as a separate unit which is occasionally part of the ballast, similar to fluorescent bulbs in your home. In a vehicle, HID bulbs tend to be much more expensive to replace than a Halogen bulb.

Please send us pictures of any parts you would like us to see, so we can help you determine the proper replacement for your vehicle. In your email, send us your name, contact information, year/make/model of vehicle, and any additional information you would like to provide to [email protected].

For the most part, no. The stock replacement headlight assemblies are a direct equivalent to what is being taken out of the car. You can reuse your old bulbs and sockets, which should fit right in with no modifications needed. Some of the aftermarket units do use different Halogen bulbs than the stock ones. In those cases, we sell the requisite bulb, and really, with the great deal we have on PERDE light bulbs, you can't go wrong with fresh, new bulbs.
