I purchased these bulbs for a G-9 compatible fixture and after 3 days one has turned black and is no longer working. What is going on?

Bad luck? The ones I've got are all still working, though it's only been a couple of months.

No, please do not throw your money away on these bulbs. The ones i purchased did not last a week. Plug in part overheated and burnt up.

These LEDS from eBay worked for me. The weird thing is that I could replace 10 bulbs with the LED but 2 had to stay halogen for it to work properly http://www.ebay.com/itm/381370807717?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var;=650557326596&ssPageName;=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Check your connections. I have found that these lights are finicky. The slightest movement (like replacing a bulb) affects the connections. Play with the connections when on and you'll find they work.

Mine did the same thing, after about 20-30 hours of use it stopped. The bulb will also occasionally flicker, though this didn't begin until it reached about 500 hours. For the money, I had no real complaints, but if you can afford it, I would go for the factory original...... most of these aftermarket bulbs do odd things, and rarely do they work perfectly out the box.

I had to completely re-wire my florescent fixture. They provided a crude diagram in my box that showed how one side of the tube was hot and the other side is completely disconnected. But to get them working in any standard fixture, you'll need to do some re-wiring. I've also experienced the slow-start that others have reported. Takes a couple seconds for them to light.

the bulbs i bought were g-8 and are a good cheap replacement. i think home depot sells them for about 5.00 each

from what I have read, it is a common problem with these lights. Mine lasted about a week and the company is of no help either. I tried emailing them and they said that they only sold the lights. They then directed me to a place in China so I just stopped there.

I would just take the burnt out one to Lowes' or the like and ask them, it should have info printed on the rim. They are halogen bulbs.

Well, I ordered two different bulbs and used these in my Harley. The first bulb was likely defective because it burnt out in 2 days; the second bulb died after a month or so because the heat it produced built up condensation in the headlight housing and ruined it. I now use the normal bulbs haha

I don't see how it could be the fixture. I have had 3 bulbs quit, all in different fixtures. When another bulb was put in the fixtures, they all worked, and are still working. But I made a mistake, and couldn't seem to correct it. The bulbs I had fail were not the daylight bulbs, but the warm white bulbs.

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

Not that I am qualified to answer an issue like this (I did not make it) but if it happened to me, I'd arrange for a return - the bulbs are fantastic though my 2 are still going strong! Try to get a refund - don't take a chance with faulty lighting - it could cost $$$ in the long run.

What does that have to do with rhe fact that led does not work in fixtures. You want me to buy bulbs i know upfront that do not work ? Makes no sense to me.

the entire fixture will need to be replaced. LEDs will last longer than any other type of bulb and they do not get hot so they will last a long time...
