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]

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.

i had the same or similar looking bulb in the parking light, as the TURNSIGNAL ... well. turns out that the bulbs were too big.... and they melted the wall.. lol... its still good tho cause its inside the light around the connector so u really cant see it from the headlight... I replaced them with uhm 186's i think or 194 dont remember... i was in a hurry at pep boys ..
but i replaced it and its fine... but not as bright[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] it really sucks now tho cause i used to drive with my parking lights on and my OEM fogs ... they usually light the whole road up... DAMN... what can be done to get the parking and turnsignal bulbs brighter????[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
