Hey Texas rider. I put mine on a 2003 r6 and I've had them installed for over 7 months and they have done great. They are not as white as I thought, and defiantly are not blue but they are much brighter. They have been great so far. Get them.

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

Have not had that problem. Ours installed like a champ and still work 2 years later. But we did go through several bulb returns (broken, cracked, damaged in shipping) before this.

Way less heat than a stock bulb, as for the fan failure i think radio shack might carry one for a replacement. As long as the heatsink is there to dissipate the heat it should be fine. Yes plugs to stock harness. You can apply a small amount of Dielectric grease to contacts of the plug.

Some bulbs apparently flicker going down the road on high beam, and some people apparently are having ballast problems, the ballast heats up the bulbs to burn bright. I have never had these problems with mine and I have bought two sets for my pick-ups and friends who have bought for their pick-ups with no problems

I don't know if this applies to your situation; but when my bulbs arrived I noticed that the boxes not been sealed, so perhaps they were touched by somebody along the packaging process. I made sure to clean them off with alcohol before the installation to remove any oil from fingers. So far, both bulbs (four months on one, five on the other) are still working fine. The HID bulbs are susceptible to localized hot spots (and premature failure) if the glass is touched during the installation.

I know this is a year late, but just wanted to let anyone know who is looking at this. I have been using these bulbs for roughly 2.5 years. Recently I noticed that my alignment was off and went in to adjust it. When I went in, I noticed that the bulb was loose. The bottom metal bracket was bent and the plastic on the car's wire connectors to the headlight had melted. When I installed the light, I know everything was snug so all I can imagine is that the bulb heated the metal bracket to a point that allowed for it to bend itself back out. Also part of the reflector was charred and ashed.

No idea. Mine are only a few months old and need to be replaced. Even with the rubber boot around the bulb, the housing collects moisture and rust inside

ive been using mine for 6 months and havent had any issues with the bulb burning anything or getting to hot. and the majority of my driving is done at night or in the rain so my lights are on almost all the time.

Yes, we do have a persistent bulb failure problem on this model. There is some sort of corrosion built up in the socket connections.

I didn't have a problem with any of my wires. What did happen though is the drivers side actually melted itself and dropped onto the reflector, and bonded itself. I had to replace the entire fog light assembly. You get what you pay for with these. I would stay away.

No. There isn't any problem like this they are great. They are just very very little lose in the socket. Flickering depends on your car what you have.

Hi I never got that far as to seeing if they are as bright or brighter then standard bulb, because while inspecting the fit and finish of the wiring connectors I noticed inconsistent quality. The heat shrinked connector joints were done one was done properly and the other was not even close. So I did not want to even risk it.

Not really. Higher wattage bulbs can cause the overheat relay to trip. I had to replace one light that kept doing that, but all the others will stay on for at least a couple hours without tripping.

I haven't had any issues. Along as they are the correct bulb and wattage the harness should be fine.

Constant vibration over a period of time could cause them to fail as I've seen others do but they will still outlast any standard bulb. They will do fine with normal vehicle vibration and road bumps/holes.

Hi, I use the 80/100 H4 bulb in my Jeep. I changed out the stock lights with H4 lights and have really enjoyed them. The bulbs are bright and have not caused any damage to my lenses. These are stronger than Dot approves for road use
