Default DRL/High Beams : VLEd

For the first 2 weeks my DRLs worked perfecly. Now only the right one turns on and the left one turns on whenever she feels like it. Did this happen to anyone?

Yessir, Ive gone through 3 or so sets of these bulbs. Lately my passenger side bulb looks noticeably dimmer then the driver side.

Just email them and they'll send you a replacement.

I have the vled drl too... when i first got them one of they bulbs was flickering from the top of the led bulb. The very top of the led would turn on and off randomly. I talked to vleds and then they sent me a replacement. Now they work pretty good.

I've had mine for about 2 months now and they're running perfectly. setup looks just like the pics ankurman posted above, except mine's obsidian. I dropped my car off at the dealership earlier to get my first service job (the free 5000k & oil change service) and was curious, is there any chance the checks and oil change could mess with the DRL setup?

i think thats usually how it goes. last time one of my drl modules was defected, so they gave me the option of sending it back and then have them send me a new one once they receive the part.

they gave me another option which was to have them send me a new one, charge me again, and when they receive the defected part, they refund the double charge.
