Hey, i bought a set of Solaris invisibulbs from bimmian, ide say 3 months ago, installed on my car, yay great - today one blinker already went out, to me this seems like a huge let down, i spent over 60 dollars on these bulbs and one has already gone out, SUCKS
now its time to save up for some LEDs, really pissed with these solaris bulbs and i think its B**Sh** that they are already starting to blow....
any pros/cons with you guys with LEDs? how hard was it to install the resisitors that heat up?
:bawling: :bawling:
same thing happened to me after 3 weeks...worst of all i bought them from bimmian..its going to be a ***** to get a free bulb i think they want $5 per replacement bulb this is gay.
they dont last very long..i even got the rear license plate ones and one blew out about 2 months later and i got a ticket for it...so not only did i have to get another bulb (just bought crappy oem style ones) but also had to deal with a ticket for it.
I ordered a pair from bimmian a long time ago but never put them on. and a about a month ago I so wanted to put them in but I forgot where I stashed them :hmm:
My two front ones went, and after seeing that I needed to pay a ridiculous amount in shipping for a company that is one province away I decided to go with SPP's Silvervisions, which should be arriving on monday
I use Stealthbulbs. They have a lifetime warranty all oyu have to do is send your blown one back in the original package and they will send you a new one. I've had the side marker ones for 8 months and they are like new and the front corner ones for about 4 months with no problems.
You guys may want to check if the bulb is making contact in the socket. I have a full set of Solaris bulbs and had issues with the bulbs going out in the front and rear. It seems as if the base of the bulb is not designed like the stock ones. I believe there may be an issue with it being a bit short in length. I noticed that the bulb did not sit snug in the socket. I would then wiggle the bulb around and it would turn on and off. A quick fix that I did was to put a good amount of solder on the very tip of the base of the bulb and haven't had issues since.
