    Here is the response that I received. I will be paying to ship it to them for repair but I would NOT suggest anyone to buy from this crap company.

    Yes, we expect you to keep proof of purchase for a non transferable lifetime warranty.

    We have had to change all of our return policies because of people on your off road community forums posting on how to get free stuff under our warranty and reselling it on craigslist. Now we do require you to have your original proof of purchase for any warranty claim. We require you to send the product back so we can verify that it is a manufacturers defect before replacing it. We tried to do things the easy way but some people will always post a way to scam a company.*

    My drivers side low started flickering 2 weeks ago and I too am sending them back today (bought back in may so my first set lasted 7 months). Man that flickering is annoying and embarrassing to me and Im sure the drivers ahead of me. Brights worked fine. Lets hope they find a fix because I was already leery for paying $150 for a set of bulbs and these aren't exactly a cake walk for install so Im kinda pissed as well. However when they are weorking they are amazing as driving in this morning with my stock bulbs back in I was like "i cant seeeee"......

    Well...with all the "lifetime" led failure. I'm going to give brightass led's a try. Even if they last a full 2 years, that's better than 6-8 months

    Yeah, I looked into those also. Closeout probably means if they crap out within a few months your probably screwed..

    Just got a set of the new vLed ones. I'll run them a while and let everyone know. These do get rid of the Low/Hi "not much difference" issue. They are 2500lm Low per bulb and 4500lm Hi per bulb and after I adjusted them down just a tad they are awesome and the 3000lm Fogs I got make them even better... I went with the 5000k ones and couldn't be happier with the white light.

    Now I just need to do the foglight anytime mod so that I can run them with the Highbeams...

    Just a few LEDs...
    Cool :D Pictures of the bulbs/install as well as the differences between low and high beam pattern on a wall would be nice if you get time. :)

    Now, did those have the cooling fans or just fins? Only thing that concerns me..

    I'll try to get some pics when I get the chance. Wall shots might be interesting to get, I ended up lining them up with my neighbor's roof and lowering them until I lined them up with the gutter LOL! They do have fans but, the cooling fins on these are pretty stout too so I feel like they have decent cooling on them. I did't realize just how big of a pain these would be to get to. Unfortunately for me I had just filled my washer fluid bottle too...

    We'll see how they last... I was just tired of not being able to see and don't need the hassle of a full retrofit.

    We have had zero reported failures of our H4 lights (in fact, only one out of all of our bulb sizes). Where are you getting your information from?
    Also, because of your conspiracy theories, the admins ran a report of our IP addresses and disproved your theory of multiple accounts. Several members on this forum are running our headlights and are very happy with our products and level of customer service.

    I'd love to try out Brite Ass LED's headlights in my fiancés Honda Accord but I've lost faith in LED headlights because of my experience with LifetimeLED.. I've gone through 3 sets of LifetimeLED bulbs for her car and she still can't see good enough. She feels her Halogen bulbs were brighter.

    Tldr; LifetimeLED == crap

    I'm glad I found this thread. I just flipped through my new subscription of 4WD Toyota Owners and saw the article. I got on here and did a search. I don't think I'll be purchasing a set now:(.

    Brite Ass LED's might be worth a try but I'd stay away from Lifetime LED. One of these days I'll go to Charlotte and let Brite Ass LED's laugh at my Lifetime Led lights as I put their bulbs in. Hopefully it'll be a better experience.

    I'll definitely keep you guys updated. The h4's are currently back ordered for a few weeks but, once I get them in I'll drop a update

    So put them in, and one of the lights doesn't do low beam... these are the "new and improved" high power ones. The aim is worse than the standard ones, and they are definitely ridiculously bright. They are much sturdier looking, like billet housings. But One is stuck on high beam only. I used can error devices, and ran without, and then swapped ballasts (control boxes) and it stayed on the same side, so they are sending me a new bulb portion. Not confidence inspiring in any way, especially since I have to pull the battery and the washer reservoir every dammed time. Getting hella annoying.
