I like mine. I also heard about the leaks, so I took some sealant and went all the way around the housing seam and havent had any leaks and we have had some nasty storms here lately, and I dont park in the garage

Are you using stock bulbs or a HID kit.

I've got them and they leak... a lot.

racinghouse worked with me to get the issue resolved (I'm on the second set). I finally worked out a deal with him to refund 'the majority' of my fee in exchange for me keeping the lights and attempting to make them work rather than bouncing sets back and forth across the USA until I found a non-leaky set.

I've sealed mine thrice now (this past weekend being time #3). I've tried the soapy water trick (while blowing air into them in an effort to determine the leak area) and haven't been successful. I figure if I put enough RTV on it, they'll stop.

While I hate that they leak, it'd blow your mind how many head snaps you get when you have the halos on -- it seems that they are head turners. Even better, *I* like the way that they look. They're far from 'ricey' (as some have called them) in my opinion.

Other than the coolness factor, do the halos serve a purpose? I have seen them on BMWs and other high end cars lately and was just wondering what exactly it is they do. I like how they look though.
