Hi..

I bought a pair of Eurolite Super Plasma's for my 98 4Runner. Installed them last week and today, this AM one of them burned out. After the drive home the other one went. Anyone else have this problem???

 

I've never heard of Eurolite. Where did you get them?

 

I bought them off E-bay. They are a product of Toucan Industries Inc. Crutchfield also sells them. E-bay price is around 20.00 per pair

Did you touch the bulb glass with your fingers?

 

I never touched the bulb(s). I replaced the stock bulbs with a set of Narva power blue's 1.5 years ago. One of the Narva's just burned out so I decided to get the Eurolite's due to cost diffie...

Sorry had to ask. Some people don't know any better.

Was there any kind of manufacturer's warranty. I hate to hear this stuff happen to people. Good luck.

 

I used to have those bulbs in my 2nd gen, at about 8-10 months the left bulb burned out on me, in the middle of winter too!!!!

 

DUDE now u got me scared... i just got a pair of the same kind of bulbs from a local shop called AUTOTRONICS.... costed me... 29.99... i hope they don't burn out... ive had them for about a little more than a week.... just thoguht id shared that named sounded formilar so i checked and thats the kind i just got...

 

MAn that Sux! I had a pair that lasted almost a year. HOpefully u can bring them back to the store u bought them from and get a replacement. AS proof the stores want to see the bulbs to make sure didn't get any oil from ur fingers on the glass.

 

29.99!! I got mine for 30cdn including taxes...:eek:

 

The "cheaper" bulbs seem to not like the cold very much. They generate very high temps, very quickly. It's kind of like running a hot coffee pot under cold water.


Jeff,
Contact the person that you bought them from. Most of the guys that sell them on e-bay are not out to screw anyone. They can't afford the negative feedback. They should fix the problem for you. E-bay will still have a record of the auction. Send the seller an e-mail and explain the situation.

 

I did contact the seller, he has had few complaints. Out of every 100 bulbs sold, he may get two bad... so... I must have got the two bad one's ... so all you other guys that just bought them should be OK :-)

I can return the bulbs for a quick replacement, I will give the second set a try.
