Rep Power: 393 so everything is stock except for the headlights? what kind of headlights are you using? i'd say swap them and take it in for warranty.

It's not a headlight problem...It's a warranty issue...
Put the stocks in and tell them "I don't know what happened to it, can you order new ones?"...
try to get both covered under warranty so you don't have to go back for the other one later...

you might want to put the amber reflecter in to, dealer might say its your fault because you opened them up and took the reflecter out.[hr]

It would be best if not required to put your headlights back stock IF it's still possible.Unless you just wanna buy new headlights, which retail for $220 each with tax. Look around here. Someone might be getting projectors and willing to sell their stock headlights or projectors if you planned on getting some in the future. It would be a cheaper route if you have to replace your headlight(s).
I've never ever heard of a bulb melting the actually headlight - only frying the wiring harness.

DAMN... what can be done to get the parking and turnsignal bulbs brighter????[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
