    I emailed Lifetime and asked for a refund, not a replacement. These lasted 5 months, and I hardly drive at night, and when I do it's usually in my other car.

    I threw mine in the trash. Didn't feel like going through the hassle.

    I still have a brand new, never used set of 35W Lifetimes in my garage. I feel it would be a dick move to sell them to someone, because I know they're going to fail.

    Hooked up my Lifetime LEDs today. Fingers crossed! While they're working, I love em. Heres a thought though...as previously mentioned, they put out a ton of light on the low beam, especially low right in front of the truck. I just ordered some LED Fog lights and currently I dont have any fogs. But with these Lifetimes, I'm thinking the fogs arent going to be as effective or needed as much. Maybe I should spend that 150 on some Driving lights or flood lights? Thoughts??

    Save that money for when you grow tired of replacing your Lifetimes and you want to buy something better.

    I'm currently trying to get them give me a refund on my latest set of failures, since I don't even want a replacement.

    I was sent a replacement set around Christmas and one of those just failed about a month ago...they sent me a new replacement single and then both failed. I thought it could be my truck, so I bought cheap halogens and they are doing fine. Asked for a refund and they refused. STAY AWAY from "Lifetime" LED!

    Have had my lifetime led for roughly 1 yr now and no issues yet. However I have a set of silverstars on standby when sh*t hits the fan.

    I had a set...head and fogs. I loved the easy install and the light output.

    I hated that within 9 months the left headlight started to go.
    I hated no matter what I tried, I could not get the fogs to not have condensation inside the housing. I tried putting the oem o-ring on them....nope. I tried using a good silicone gasket maker sealing everything up nicely...nope.
    I virtually lost all FM receipt due to interference from the led.
    For the cost and what product I ended up with, I hated that too.

    Now, I understand I just may have ended up with a bad bulb and gaskets. It happens. For the hassle I'll just stay oem and not have problems
