Headlights

Ahh...my POS headlights.  Why, you may ask.  I purchased the Auto Optiks headlight conversion kit, so I could use H3 bulbs rather than sealed beams.  The kit sucks.  The wiring harness is downright dangerous.  I melted one of the terminals that hooks to the bulbs.  These harnesses like to short out and blow expensive light bulbs too.  I ended up making my own harnesses (very easy and cheap to do), and I have never had a problem since.

But wait......there's more!  The lenses themselves suck.  They have very poor reflective properties.  They part that hold the bulb in is cheap and falls off easily.  The big rubber seal isn't very good either.

The bulbs I originally bought from Auto Optiks were there most expensive Super White bulb.  Well, I blew both of those in a couple of months.  Then I ordered another set from them (after I blew just one), and after a month, I still never received them.  By then my other bulb had blown, and I picked up the current set of 90/100 watt bulbs I am still using today.  The bulbs I ordered were on back order (nice of them to let me know).  I canceled the order, and the refunded my debit card about 3 weeks later.  POS company with terrible products and customer service.
