    For my 2014 with DRL, amber and in their own separate housing, I ordered this: Premium-Plus Headlamp Wiring Harness, Power-Switched

    This one: http://www.headlightservices.com/Wiring.html
    nice to see the price has only changed $4... not bad for a great product.

    I had the same issue last spring. Try using chrome or emailing headlight services. He replied right back to me.

    If you don't see "Add to Cart" it's time to dump your internet temp files in whatever browser you're using.

    Where'd you purchase from? I believe there is a made in china version of the bulb.

    Hmm. Last time the bulbs were in stock there they were German. What does the box look like?

    China ones have a white box
    upload_2022-7-21_15-49-50.jpg

    German ones should have a red box
    upload_2022-7-21_15-51-31.jpg

    Even then though I wouldn't necessarily trust the box color. If you open one up the country of origin will be stamped on the bulb.

    Maybe BulbAmerica imported German bulbs out of China. Certainly possible.

    You can just email osram. I did and they were super helpful identifying mine as legit. I ordered mine from eBay previously.
