Oh yeah, this wasn't just my car that it happened to. My friend bought some bulbs like mine(not the same brand) and it did the same thing to her right light. She was smart and bought a $5 piece and fixed it herself. I tried replacing my OEM bulb and took it into toyota and they said that when i installed my CAI i must have bumped my headlight or something. Total BS but it was my decision to install those bulbs and I have to live with it.

yeah, there are lots of cheap crappy colored bulbs out there that can cause bad things to happen, but these are not that kind of bulb. eurolite has been around for a while. i had a single pair for my low beams running 24/7 for over two years and they never failed to perform. i have used autic lights which were really neat, they were rainbow blue, which looked like blue with hints of yellow, but in actually night driving, it was like driving with cheap night vision because they looked greenish from driver position. silverstars were better than stock, but pretty much looked stock. not really as showy as i wanted and went out in just a few weeks. but the eurolites were great, bright usable light with a nice crisp blue color to them.

and if your worried about them melting your harnesses, get one of those pig tail harnesses for safety sake.

I've been thinking about getting new ones to tone down my 10,000k blue and go with a 6000k. They guy I am planning on buying my new ones from is supervtec on ebay. Let me know if you want more info

You do know you don't have to buy a new kit, right? You can just buy replacement bulbs in whatever temp you want using your existing ballasts.
