HID went out

I have the xentech 6000k HID kit I ordered off of amazon.com and one of the bulbs has gone out. I am going through HELL trying to get it replaced. So I am just going to tell amazon to refund my money and I am going to buy this kit: Retro-Solutions 55w HID H7 (projectors). This has a lifetime warrenty, doesnt have radio interference, a higher wattage (brighter), and is digital lighting so it knows when the bulbs are warm. Another member wrote a review on them as well.

A main difference I have already noticed and they havnt even arrived yet is that they are actually in a case, not just thrown in a box like the xentech arrived. There is also a relay included.

I actually ordered them, and then found a whole freeking thread on them here, lol. I ordered them for like 190ish i think. There was some talk of a group buy but i already ordered so, oh well. https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=337638

I roll with just fogs for now too, lol. I need to get HID's for my fogs, but with a 12w6v2 getting installed tomorrow and ordering new HID's today money is gone. Im only a senior in highschool with parents that supply me with what i need, and a job that gets me what i want.

A wiring harness quickly cures all of that.
