1st problem with Angel Eye projectors!!

Last night it started to pour down rain and my car was outside so i ran to put it in the garage. I turn the headlights on so i can see and only see one light.......flip on high beams, they work.......so back to low......wtf!!! I've only had the lights 2 weeks and i have the bulbs that came with them in. Its the low beam on the left side thats out. Has anyone else had this problem yet??

Check the housing to make sure there's no cracks in it.

The housing is fine, just the bulb went out. I just think its odd that they've only been in 2 weeks and it went out. Maybe who ever put the bulb in there touched it and the oil from their fingers did something

thats probably the case.... the bulb was touched and it severely shortened the life of the bulb.

my driver side h1 went out after about 2 weeks and my passenger side headlight fogs up as well. the replacement h1 costs about 6 bucks from a auto shop but if you want the nokya hid then it'll be a little more. haven't figured out why it fogged up buecause i didn't see any cracks or holes. but whatever the raseon it's not bad and it dries up b4 anyone can really notice. did you get yours off ebay or from another online site?

Okay, i feel a little better now that im not the only one with a bulb to blow out in 2 weeks. I got them off ebay. Mine haven't fogged up yet. I'll just pick up a bulb from auto zone on the way home from work.

Oh my god! I have had my angel eyes for about a month now and I am driving home from work about 15 minutes ago and notice that it seems rather dark outside my car. I pull over and look at my light.....guess what? BOTH headlight are out. Now I just had to drive home with the turn signal light and the blue ring lite up. My brights work...but nothing else. This sucks!

The projectors are made in china. The bulbs they put in them are probably really crappy. I just put another bulb in and its as good as new. It was a little tricky at first but then i figured out how to work the little metal clip that holds the bulb in

My pass side fogged up to.. Check the seal, cuz mine hads holes in it. When I took the assembly apart, about a 1/4 cup of water poured out.. Since then, I've resealed it and it's fine now...
Bulbs still working after several months....

So if I get these head lights should I seal them with caulk before I install them?
