Just wanna know how ong do those light bulbs last? It seems they dont last very long, i put my kit in not even two weeks ago and one light is already out. Thats bullshit if i have to change those lights every two weeks, it makes me go back to the regular light bulbs

Hi,

Quality HID bulbs are designed to last approximately 2500 hours. Did the kit that you purchased come with a warranty? Have you tried to get a hold of the vendor?

Glad to hear it.

To confirm though, Were your lights flickering at all prior to them burning out?

So once you installed the relay harness the lights stopped flickering in DRL mode?
