What to do with my burned out Piaa??

Tonight on my way home I turned on my headlights and out went the passenger side headlight bulb. I bought Piaa H4 Super Plasmas in May of last year. I was very careful not to touch the bulb or brush it up against anything while installing.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone has returned them to Piaa. or should I return them to the people i bought them from?? I got them from autodynamic.com.
I searched on this topic but did not find any that said what people did. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Didn't someone mention PIAA's had a 1 year warranty ? Try returning it to the store you bought it from.

I did. I rarely exchange them out for my customers. And they do have a 1st year over the counter exchange from your PIAA dealer.

I bought the PIAA Xtreme Whites and about a month ago, one of the bulbs actually broke. It didnt burn out, but the low beam filiment broke off. I was like WTF! So I took the bulb back to the place I bought it in town and to my amazement, they replaced it right there. Try contacting the place you bought it.

Thanks for the recomendations guys. I will try to contact autodynamic.com tomorrow because that is where i got them from. If they don't exchange it I might buy another set and have one extra bulb for when the next one burns out.

advise...

Try first to return it to the place you bought it. If that doesnt work, write PIAA and explain them your situation. Mail them the burnt bulb and a copy of the reciept, which should show the date/location of purchase. They will have alot of trouble ignoring those facts. Good luck....

if you want they can send the replacement cause mine just quit shining 4 nights ago. Please include the copy of the receipt if you fax it to them and a brief explanation why it dies.
here is the info
