WHAT IS THE RETURN POLICY?

  • Are stronger than hard glass and is more temperature and vibration resistant.​

  • Excessive vibration (rough roads) or extreme temperatures.

  • Grease and dirt on the bulb surface. Avoid contact with the glass surface when handling the bulb.

  • Poor installation techniques.

  • Quality of the tungsten filament.
