Ive had them on for about a week now and last night after my 20 minute drive home from work i noticed the projector lens melting on the passenger side in front of the low beams. at that point i was pissed for all the money i paid for them. i emailed the seller on ebay about this and im waiting on a response of what they are gonna do to replace this. here are the pics i took.

 

wow, that sucks, after hearing so much about this headlight i dont want to even get themanymore!

 

Just painted my Headlights yesterday, best thing that ever happened to my SS... lookswise

 

^^^LOL, that was totally random.....

 

thats why you pay more for non ebay stuff it last longer

 

That's not ALWAYS the case though. Just cause it's on eBay doesn't mean it's automatically junk. It's a cheap way for a lot of people to start a business and most people on there are willing to work on you when stuff like this happens.

Hope you get it all sorted out, Celica.

 

lol, sorry for the randomness!

 

you can only gett these on ebay and im pretty sure they are all from the same manufacturer so where you get it from is irrelevent as getting an injen air intake off ebay its still an injen no matter what

 

name brand stuff is ok like aem and injen the problem is that alot of stuff on ebay doesnt have a warranty (jl subs and amps are a good example). Your right about alot of people getting on ebay to start a cheap buisness. the problem is alot of them dont have the ethics to keep the buisness so its hear today gone tomorrow. I have bought some stuff on ebay before but on this car i wont even dare buy something off of ebay unless i do my research first. I bought some projector lights for an eclipse one time and they screwed up humidity got all in them and messed up the lenses paid more money for the actuall headlights and they lasted me longer until i sold the car.

 

Wow man that sucks. I saw this and immediatly ran outside to check mine. Thats kinda strange how the lens melted.

do you think it could have been an impurity in just that one lens>?

 

I dunno. i am surprised to learn that the lenses are actually plastic. i thought they were something harder than a plastic that would melt.

What bulbs do you have in the headlights?? My guess is the seller will come back saying there is nothing they can do as its possible you used bulbs higher than the recommended wattage.

 

Prolly a defect in the lens (soft spot maybe) not sure that it has happened to anyone else....

 

stock bulbs? if you put aftermarket bulbs in it they wont replace it. i have silverstars and mine work wonders. guess you got a bad one.

 

Must have been a defect in the outer lense...i've had my projectors on for 2 months and I love them...call them up and see what you can do.

Thats the risk you have to take with ebay stuff sometimes, i've had my share of problems.

 

they are 100% the way they came in the box. it has to be a defect sinc eits only happenning in the passenger side lens. the seller is looking like he is gonna help me so ill keep you guys updated.

 

where u running hid's on this because hid's run cooler thats what i would recomend

 

no , just the lights that came with them, and it says on the package to specifically not use HID lights, i thought because they run hotter??? anyway the seller wants me to ship him back the one headlamp and he will send me a new one. so i guess i have no choice i just hope i dont get screwed and he sends me the replacement light.

 

random but I prefer the painted headlights like I did over the projectors...and painting costs 10X less

 

HID will not melt the replacement fixture as it runs cold.

 

so what is anyones guess as to why they would specifically mention not to put HID's in the headlight?

 

Because HID's don't fit without modding the projectors to make them fit...which in turn could cause you to damage them...and then you're SOL.

They're meant for halogen bulbs ONLY.

 

so, has this been done already?

 

i would never get any of that stuff of ebay..dont trust it. cobalt addiction will be carrying those head lights very soon.
