Anyone having a problem with their white halos turning yellow in isolated spots in the rings? I am about to return my second pair due to this and I've only had them since the end of May. I've read where it could be a heat issue but TricLED was not sure. I do have LED headlights installed on my Sling so I would hope that would not be the cause and it was hotter that 3 hells here in SC this summer. Hoping it is just bad luck but will give a shout out to SlingMods and TricLED for being so responsive and replacing the rings right away. If these replacements go bad I just might switch to the all red rings instead of the white.
White Halos Turning Yellow

I just changed mine out because they were turning yellow in spots.

I need to learn how to change mine

Noticed mine have a few yellow spots today

I contacted Slingmods to purchase the 2 turning yellow since not under warranty and they sent me 2 new no charge. Best customer service

I'm resurrecting this thread because 3 of my 6 halos from @slingmods have turned or are turning yellow, and I'm a little cranky. I've had them less than a year...I assume they are covered under warranty, but I don't know if it's worth it anymore. Was there ever a determination on the cause? And for @MISC, did the third set fix the issue, or did it keep happening?

I think that they all do after a while. I know the latest halos I have come as COB version and they are already yellow. But they are super bright.

So what causes white LEDs to all turn yellow after a while?

I got yellow spots on mine also. I've seen a couple others with the spots also. I thinks it's just something that happens after time. Have had mine for about 3 years and they got spots on them about 4 months ago.

Yeah, my center halos are getting yellow. I just assumed that they would eventually. I ordered my Slingshot in January 2015. At the same time, I ordered the halos. Got the halos before I even had my Slingshot. My wife thought that I was a bit crazy, but having a Slingshot in the middle of winter, in northern Minnesota, I had to do something with it. Lol

I had the same thing happen and I did get them replaced under warranty. Here is what was told to me. As much as I hate to say this I was told not to run the lights at 100%. It will burn the rubber cover and turn the lights yellow. I run mine at 50% now.... Dumbest thing I've heard but I will try it. Mine lasted just under a year before they turned yellow.

Hey @KayTwo
I just installed two sets of these. They are pretty neat. Easy install, and only $10.99 per set!!!! -
I agree. Mine are turning yellow also and they make the front end look ugly when they're not turned on.
It would be nice if they could make the headlight halos using that black smoked casing that's used in the SpoilerBladez.

Hey @MISC please PM me your order number or order info so I could get a warranty replacement going for you as soon as possible!
@slingmods, was that aimed at me, or @MISC?

Well, I agree with you, that's the fucking dumbest thing I've heard, at least today. Why would you program your gear to run at a certain power level if that power level ruins it?

Did someone say they wanted white halos for under $12.00!!!!
