I received a replacement hid bulb from one of the vendors on here and the replacement looks like it's missing the top part of it.

i'm wondering if i should send it back or else if it's safe to use...i'll use it...i don't want to do another return/replacement...ahhh

the original good hid bulb from the vendor is on the left
the replacement hid bulb from the vendor is on the right with the black plastic base missing

thanks

 

Bulbs look exactly the same? Your pics didn't catch the "tip" of the bulbs.

 

my guess is OP is referring to the ring-like piece on the BASE of bulb

 

thanks...i feel like an idiot...i didn't specify in the original post...

i am referring to the black plastic piece on the base of the bulb...

is it safe to run or should i send it back?

 

just a updated or different design, should be fine to use

its like getting 2 maximas from different states, calii spec and fed spec

 

it looks fine to use but worse comes to worse it wont fit as tight as it should.. then i would send it back

 

thanks...the vendor contacted me and they said it looked different because it was a different batch

installed it today and no problems...will check for fog lights fogging up in the morning

 

^^really^^???OP received response from vendor...

 

Did you already buy another pair of ballast for the fog lights? Also does anyone know where i can get a HID kit that includes hi beam?

 

Sorry still new to this

 

yup...been going back and forth with vendor through email only

yea...i bought 2 hid kits (need ballasts for fog and low beam b/c i have a S model)

u want a HID that does low beam and high beam in 1 bulb??? or just a hid kit for hi beams?

 

If it has any damage than document it through pics and send it to the company. I did that with DDM tuning and they sent me a brand new pair. No questions asked
