Question Crappy projector headlights, neone else

So about 4 months a ago I buy these Black/Clear Projector headlights off of RSVERSION.COM for $98. I get them and they looked awesome, but 4 months later the right lamps lowbeam crapped out on me and it's not getting any power. All the other lights in the housing work (highbeams, turn signals) but that one doesn't!
Further into the story, last night I used my high beams all night because the one light thing just looks dumb as hell when your showing off your ride at the Bayfront! Then I get cited by a cop for the headlight being out, after I turned them to lowbeam when approaching his car. Later that night on my way home, still using my highs, I switch to lows and both lights are out so WTF!?!?!?!

Has neone else had this kind of problem with the projector headlights?

what do you mean by "crapped out"? is it just a failed light bulb?

i know what you mean i just bought them not but two months ago and i go to hook them up and everything and the turn signal brackets are four prong when they need to be two and the low beams bracket that held the directional screws fell out on me not a week or so ago they are cheap *** headlights. i should have known before just jumping on them being 98 bucks.

no the bulb doesn't looked failed at all! I think it's a problem with the wiring, which I don't think I'll be able to get to. I'm going to take off the bumper manana and take a look.

He's right....If the bulb looks fine, check the fuses...I ran into that problem when I had my TYC projectors
