Wiesslicht LED defect?

RL67POLO · 10-12-2011, 08:33 AM

I\'m on my 2nd replacement of one side on my 2011. The first one failed after 5 6 months and was replaced now that one is flickering and causing a daytime running lamp error.. Are our 2011\'s burning out these lights or is this common? I can\'t be the only one having this happen I drive my car liberally from work and back so I know it\'s not from extreme use.

Any insight would be a big help brothers

** the replaced one is now failing and flickering out ( 4 months after a new one was sent as a replacement)

It sounds like you may have a defective set. Have you tried swapping the ballasts from side to side to see if the problem transfers over? If it doesn't transfer over, then it sounds like it may be a bulb issue.

Yea tried switching lights last night , such a small space to work with when you have big hands

but my one bulb from the original purchase in like january or feb is fine. Do u think weislicht would cover it again? Had it replaced in june then now it's flickering then off again. Was throwing no errors or anything until the other day.. And it def is angel eye season being it gets dark earlier here

Let me know

One of mine went out about 2 months ago. Checked and saw the ballast blew up. They replaced the ballast under warranty.
