Problems with Pilot H4/9003 headlamp conversion kit

I want to know your stories with these conversion kits available from autozone. Here's mine.

Mine cracked a few mins after turning them on. I couldn't believe my eyes... the longer the light was on.. the larger the crack got on the glass...

I've never been so pissed off at a product... what a waste of my time and money.

autozone usually takes anything back. tell them that you didnt notice the crack in it. they will surely take it back. they have to. its not your fault it is a piece of crap.

take them back to autozone. Then go to the big book they have and order the conversion from APC. They have defusers so your beam is wide. While you are at it order the APC 80/100W lights. They should be able to help you, if not post and I'll get you there part numbers so all the person at autozone has to do is hit the VDP button on the keyboard and order it. The conversion I think is like 60 and the lights are 39 bucks for two.

thats a decently hefty price. but you can take it back. www.midnightmoose.com has conversions for $40 a piece including bulbs, but they wont take the bulbs back. ive never had a problem with anything from them, but theres always the risk......

I'd reccomend ProCarParts.com, good products, good prices. Here's a link to their conversion headlights: Diamond-Back Euro Conversion Headlights
