Consumer Description

I HAVE HID HEADLIGHT AND BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE SEVERELY MELTED AND CRACKED REFLECTORS. BOTH BULBS WERE MELTED INTO THERE SOCKETS TO THE POINT I HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE SOCKET. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RE INSERT THE SOCKET INTO THE REFLECTOR HOUSING I WAS UN ABLE TO INSTALL IT AS THE REFLECTOR WAS MISSING OVER HALF OF THE RETAINING RING DUE TO IT BEING MELTED. ONE SOCKET LOOKED EXTREMELY BLACKENED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. BOTH LIGHT ARE TEMP INSTALLED AS I AM UNABLE TO CORRECTLY INSTALL DUE TO SEVERELY MELTED REFLECTOR.
