    Should be able to get a replacement.. Ebay is good for that. You can get a refund from PayPal too.. IIRC, something like 6 months

    Unfortunately I bought it as a guest, I don’t have an eBay account so no luck for me yet. Still waiting to hear back from the company

    I’m just waiting for them to respond and hopefully just send me a new headlight. I’ll update when it’s concluded

    I have these. Im convinced its the H1 bulbs design. They all suck, luckily i have enough LEDS to the point where having the lows or highs on doesnt really matter to me. I reccommend going to a long life LED set up in H1 form. After these two blow im doing that, and ive gone through 4 H1 bulbs in a year from different brands.

    Well they said they are going to send me a new headlight and a shipping label to send back to faulty one when I get the new one. Customers service is good

    Glad to hear it OP. Most of these companies are held to a pretty good standard by eBay.

    Yea I was just worried they would want me to send it back before they sent me a new one which I can’t do cause I already got rid of my old headlights, but I’m glad they made it right

    Do you not lose a lot of output when you buy the blacked out headlight housings?

    They seem just as bright as the factory ones, the high beams are pretty weak though, and the three little leds in the top corner have to be wired in they don’t come working
