Default replacing projector bulb

hello everbody i got these projector,halo,angel eye aftermarket headlights whatever their called. They don't look cheap they seem to be the expensive kind. it came with the car and someone wants to trade these for oem headlights. but i need to get one of them to work - both high beam and low beam lights went out.

How do i kno what kind of bulb to buy to replace the ones that are no good?

and it seems like there's some wiring done, would it be easy as just replacing them with oem headlights ?

thnx

sounds like you just have some cheap ebay projector headlights. If that's that case, then you just simply replace the bulbs and regular halogen bulbs. Shouldn't be hard to change out at all...Also check your fuse to be sure it's still good

whatever size bulb your car normally uses is what should be used for your headlights. Happen to have any pics?

so you just want to get new housings and bulbs for the lights? or are you trying to fix the "ricer" ones?

im confused, do the halos even turn on??

you will need to wire them to your parking lights, they arent plug and play.
