    Just an update...

    I had to pay for shipping to have my driver side bulb repaired/replaced. Yesterday, I received a replacement bulb that has the appropriate mounting but the housing is different, the ballast is different, and the output is different. So now I have mismatched bulbs. I had to send them another email. I guess we will see what happens.

    I received my replacement "new and improved" version, and it failed as well. And of course you try to high beam and it turns off completely... after I head out for some drinks. I changed back to stock bulbs in the dark at my GF's friends house. I am sending everything back. And I am likely just gonna throw some Piaas in. I need something reliable, and these have turned out to be anything BUT reliable. So effin pissed I have wasted so much time and effort changing my dammed lights out.

    Wow, lots of people having trouble with these. Mine are still going strong after about a year. I got mine through AutoAnything under the Plasmaglow brand but they are the same thing. Mine only have a 2 year warranty though.

    Glad I bailed on my set pretty quick. At least all I lost was $50. Philips Xtremevision halogens FTW! No more fucky fucky with bulbages in headlights. I've got better than stock lows and way bright brights with those. I'll stick with HID/LED in light bars and fogs and Hellas for my extra lighting need/wants.

    Oh, ya I would not recommend anyone buying these AT ALL. It is a little too late for me as I have already bought them and don't want to waste more money. I will just keep accepting the lifetime replacements until they fix the problem or refund my money.

    What happens if you ask for a refund now? You obviously have a history of failures, they wouldn't honor a refund at this point?

    Lifetime LEDs suck. 2 more out and one allowed water into fog light and the housing is now ruined. These guys are a joke!!

    I love how they hide their phone number now too. Guess when everyone's calling complaining that's what some companies do instead of fixing the problems. When you say the president you mean the 22 year old kid hiding behind the domain by proxy web site? I love companies like this. Here today gone tomorrow.

    I for one am shocked. They've been shit from the beginning, and as I said months ago, lifetime warranty means nothing when they stop responding.

    Here's my latest issue. Fog light filled with water and the LED is not only out but plug all corroded. I wash my truck constantly and have a membership to the local car wash to keep dirt, road salt, etc. to a minimum. Now my lights ruined. The best part was they said it was a factory default of my fog light. How about the crappy dried up chinese gasket?

    Uhm sure I guess, but I got a name and it says he's the president.

    They added me on LinkedIn too. And I did get a response for an RMA number to return all the dammed lights. I will be keeping the switches for my other LED projects though as I bought switches. I will be glad to have my 500ish back and just leave my dammed lights alone.

    Check out VLEDS if you guys are still interested in LED headlights/foglights that are stout as fuck.

    I've replaced both of mine and love them. I've had my foglights completely submerged into all kinds of puddles and the VLEDS LED seals are air-tight. Haven't found a puddle deep enough to test the headlights .... yet. ;)
