Umm... no offense, I don't think Oznium has even shipped one production TBL, so how could you make that comment?

the oz one will probably work fine, looks like a good company over there. VRD is just another option that seems to work well for me. i've only had it a few weeks but no problems so far. what kind of defects did your friends experience?

not working at all, stopped working totally, constant led flickering, the ocasional works when it wants to, these, ans a complete burnout, and circuit short of the lamp..these are problems my friends faced with the VRD tbl..and remember there was no error in their side as to installation, because its a plug and play tbl it comes already put together all you have to do is plug it in and bolt it back on..the last time i checked 2 of my friends never got any response from VRD regarding the problem, and have purchased the oznium tbl. 1 was able to reach VRD, but they said she must have altered it some how for this to happen, then stopped answering her messages totally, she also just purchased ozniums tbl from ebay, and was assured this would definetely not happen with theirs..the customer comes first...and my last friend gave up completely trying to contact vrd and just put his stock tbl back in......oznium tbl 100% for sure

Again, being as there have not been any production tbl's sent out by oznium, you can't say that it will be 100% for sure. There could easily be similar problems with ozniums tbl.

I too have heard good things about oznium's quality and customer service so if there is an issue with someone's tbl I think it will be handled very well, but there could still be problems.

When you get down to it, any aftermarket product (hell, even some OEM products) can have a defect or too. Doesn't mean the company who sold it/produced it should be written off. Some people have success with company A, some with company B, but both are good companies that produce a quality product.

I agree!...I got another set of Stock Headlights they were by the company TYC and the right headlight housing is kinda messed up!..the light output kinda shoots into the trees a lil bit...
I tried to adjust it too...oh well!
