both aftermarket headlights went out at same time in 3 mo. is this normal?

i have the eurolights super xenon plasma headlights. 1 went out, then the next day the other went out... it's only been like 3 months since i bought them! is this normal? b/c i don't want to pay 15 bux every 3 mo. for headlights. any suggestions?

also i want to get corner bulbs, and 4 bulbs for the DC clears. and preferably get all at same time/same model, i gotta match :-).

p.s. i've thought about the polargs, but they're so expensive. maybe just a freak accident.

Thats what happens when you buy the cheapy's. Try the PIAA bulbs.. I've had mine for a year now....its worth the money in the long run...

Check your harness that you plug the lights into, I'll bet it is slightly melted. Buy a couple of news ones from autozone and you should be fine (if you can wiggle the harness and the lights come on sometimes it is defintaly the harness, just pull it off the light and see if it is melted on the inside a little.

Eurolites are cheap bulbs, mine only lasted 6 months and I seem to be one of the longest lasting people. I'm using Silverstars now.

Polargs are nice for the corners even though they're a bit expensive. I've had mine about 8 months now with no problems. They matched the Eurolites really well and are a little bit off the Silverstars I have now, but it still looks decent.
