Fixing Headlight Rings: Worth to fix or should I replace?
Hello All,
So both the rings in my passenger side headlight have stopped working. I have no clue at all why or how hard it is to fix this issue. Im assuming its not a simple bulb replacement. Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how hard it is to fix this problem, or if im better off buying some new headlights on ebay. If i go this route what are some good lights for a descent price, i really dont want to spend over $300. I heard not all of the ebay ones work if you have OEM HID's? Thanks for the advice!

Why do you think it's not a bulb issue? I think you should rule out the bulb since it's the cheapest because replacing the whole housing is going to cost you a lot more.

Well this sounds stupid but i have no idea how these types of lights work, didnt even realize there were bulbs! Looks like the entire ring is one LED. So is it 1 or 2 bulbs if both the rings are not working? Also how do i get to these bulbs, do i need to remove the bumper?

Depending on your location, it might be possible through coding.
