hmmm....thats weird...i bought hid bulbs from ebay like a year ago and they are still in great condition...call them and tell them the situation and see if you can get a replacement...

yeah- this is when the warranty stuff kicks in.

want to post a picture for us to see the severity of the 'green'?

swap the ballasts from one side to another. a power issue where the bulb is not getting the sufficient 35 watts of power can cause a bulb to discolor like that. if the bulb returns to normal after swapping the ballasts, then you know you need to hit them up for a ballast.

a company like that only offering 90 day warranty... that is crap

agreed- 90 day warranty is a joke. if anything - find a company with a 1-year or even 2 year warranty. i've seen a couple with a 2-year warranty.

we have companies in NYC that offer kits with 15 or 18 month warranty (i forget which) for under 125 bucks with any bulb type, color - for any vehicle. That have the 1 piece ballast and now also have the mini ballast versions available for almost the same price.

i wanted to get a group buy together on this but i dont no if that is allowed on this site...

rayy

i think they have to be a vendor in order to give everyone a group buy.. unless you find a loop hole like have a meet coincidentally in front of the place.. haha (i didn't say anything)

rayy

yeah.. that looks pretty bad.. it seems like you have 6000k & green does not look appealing.. i'd go & complain

That probably happened due to oil from your hands getting on the bulb itself. pull out the bulb, you'll see a burnt spot probably. That also voids the warranty, as it shows that the bulb was not properly installed.
