Had the same problem this past tuesday, I noticed that the passenger drl went out, I filled out the claim form provided on the website and also emailed customer support, I received notification saying they will send a replacement asap. Hopefully its free and they wont charge my account.

Wow, this is the first VLED bashing thread I've seen. Guess I'll think twice about ordering from them then. Thanks for the heads-up all!

A bit off topic...but, when Sylvania SilverStars first came out I got a 9004 set and 2-3 months down the road one went out when I hit a good sized bump/step-up in the road (road-to-bridge transition) after a 4 hour road trip. Called customer service, didn't have to provide them anything but my mailing address, and they not only sent one free...but TWO! Been pleased with them ever since. Used them in all of my non-HID vehicles.

^ silverstars are overpriced GARBAGE.... Every set ive had and people i know have had has blown out under a year...almost as bad as PIAA except PIAA actually last a while.
Im sure they did send you another set, with the profit they made off the first set you bought they could probably afford to send you 5 sets.

For the life of me i cannot understand why people do this "DRL mod" it makes no sense, so... AWESOME now you have some LED's instead of high beams..... I dont get it, whats the point??? I dont like my DRL's so i just had the dealer turn them off..
