Got them installed. The relay didn't work so I just installed them without it. Hopefully I can return the relay and get a refund. Love them, though.

Just popped these off my 08 tC and threw them on my girls 11 tC - No relays, no expensive kit - Bought these off eBay for $34 free shipping back in 2008 and they still running stong - eBay respect!

i tried contacting them sine im having issues with my 10k ones but they didnt bother replying to me. my driver side light isnt as blue as the passenger side, they both actually seem like they have dimmed to a bit more whiter shade with the driver side still whiter. the passenger side one sometimes doesnt turn on. if they are on and then i turn on my car the passenger one flickers on and off a few times, sometimes stays on after that and other times it turns off. emailed a few months ago when issues started but no reply

I dont have a copy of the email I sent. I sent it through your website under the 'contact us' section. Its been quite some time now since I sent it though, possibly 6 months more or less. I just never got a reply. Which is weird since I had an issue with a bad ballast for another car and that issue was resolved easily.

@faux_ghost - let's see the 20ft flat wall shot cutoff @ -1.3 EV ? ;) Don't be surprised at the hotspot and glare! hehe jk - as long as PNP kits satisfy your eyes... not for me though.

Like a "squirrel spotter" ? - Drive another car in front of your new Sportage lights. You will realize it for yourself. lol

Do Scionlife members get discounts anymore? My stupid driver side bulbs just blew and I need it replaced ASAP. I'm currently in the military and they are serious about anything that's wrong with our privately owned vehicles.

Same here. I just ordered a new set after almost 4yrs. Great product and long lasting. If there is a discount for us I didn't know about it but there product is worth it.

I've had their kit since back in '08 and I guess it was it's time to die out. Great product no doubt. One of the few companies who at the time only offered 5000K which is the best IMO. I ordered replacement bulbs from them but for some reason their replacement 9006's were about a quarter inch longer than the bulbs I got with the kit about 4 years ago. I didn't have time to deal with it so I just threw them away and ordered a whole kit because I need this stupid problem fixed asap. Military don't play games when it comes to your POV not properly working. Makes me miss how laid back civilian life was.

I got my new replacement kit but they seem dimmer than my original kit I purchased back in 2008. They are both 5000K but the the new one has longer bulbs than the first purchase and they don't seem to be as white as before either. They almost seem like 6000K. Also my old ballast were the fat ones compared to the new slimmer ones you guys sell now.
