never had a prob. had mine on for a few years..still original bulbs. now if you have HYPER whites, that's not the projectors fault..that's the bulbs fault. hyperwhites that draw too much current--- btw, my projectors are Denji's

my projectors like to blow superwhite bulbs every couple weeks. Put stock ones in there, and it seems cool

I would check to make sure the individual grounds on each light are good, (i.e. actually touching bare metal, not something painted.) also, DON'T TOUCH THE BULBS WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN!!!!!!

I had them in my 92 civic, and used PIAA bulbs. One would blow about once every three months or so...

Gotta love PIAA's warranty, I didn't have to pay for the replacements, however, it was a pain in the a$$ to keep changing them.

yeah, i had replaced the OG bulbs for SuperWhites and in about 1-1/2 weeks they blew. I bought a new set and the same thing happened to one of them. I put the OG bulbs in and they were fine up until I sold the projectors (denji). They were a pain in the ***, and those bulbs are too expensive anyways. I've had my stock headlights in again for 6 months with some SuperWhite bulbs and haven't had a problem since! Toss the projectors man or run the OG bulbs! Good luck!

Oh, yeah... when i went to return them ( I thought they were defective or something) and hoping they would exchange them for a new pair, the guy told me that they don't last too long and there was NO WARRANTY on the brand that I bought! They where not the PIAA ones! So basically i was assed out!
