yes, those rubber sockets always do that , they are cheap made , and they tend to bend and sometimes they even cause short , so i think you should just leave the halos and put some silicon on the holes where the sockets should be and its going to look nicer without the headache...

Yea. Imma lose those bulbs and sockets I dnt have any silicone I dntbthink at the moment so imma just unhook the sockets and take the bulbs out and put just the bulb lights in my marker lights hopefully makin em brighter. Ill tape off the wires to the sockets temporarily till I get some silicobe. Imma reseal the light assemblys anyway cause in muggy weather one fogs up on the inside . But not bad . I apprrciate the advice and tips. Been a real help. This is my first jeep build so . Alot I not used to lol

if you dont have any silicone then use some duct tape or clear tape and tape it sealing the hole , but you cant leave it open cause water and moisture will enter the headlamp , just put some tape over it and that's it...

nice , you just need to add 55w 4300k hid to the headlight so they can match the halogen and that's it ...

What he means is to upgrade from the standard 35w hid to 55w and to use a 4300k bulb so it matches the color of your fog lights.

no way your fogs are lot more bright that the ones on the headlight i believe that the ones you are using should be 8000k , you should change those to get more lighting ..
