Bulbs popping out of socket!!! Anyone having this problem? Replace the sockets or just use a bit of glue??

Mine have not popped out at all, but I did notice it took some extra pressure to get them in, in the first place. You have to press pretty hard and it may seem excessive, but there was a distinct "CLICK" once they were properly seated. Mine are installed in a 1999 Toyota 4Runner.

Throw away them LEDs from JDM Astar. They are junk from China not made to US DOT standards. Luckily yours popped them out. I used this LED & it broke my Acura lamp holders. Read my comments in Acurazine.com under "JDM Astar". Also, I've got proofs & these Asian thieves in California won't give me my refund. Amazon was gracious enough to refund me.

Have not had that problem. Ours installed like a champ and still work 2 years later. But we did go through several bulb returns (broken, cracked, damaged in shipping) before this.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

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

Have you checked for a loose wire? I would say buy another bulb maybe you have a faulty bulb. Have not had any problems with mine. Everyone who sees it for the first time is very impressed!

What wattage and type of bulbs? Sounds like the fixtures are being overloaded.

Yes! I have 3 bulbs in one fixture, so I don't know if its just 1 bulb or all 3 making noise. It's like a crackling/popping noise and can happen up to 5 minutes after I turn the light off.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Did you ever find replacement bulbs? I have the same light and I cannot find them in any store. Please help!

Mine also has a problem staying on when it shouldn't be. My bulbs burned out within 2 months. I wouldn't buy another. It's a China Cheapie!

i received my package a day or so ago & one of the lights instantly overheated & stopped working. the other one works OK but the bulb seems very dim. is it possible for you to replace the broken piece?

Mine works fine... looks like the bulbs inside can be replaced but u should definitely contact ur seller if it broke at the first week!!

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

Probably send the string back. It happens and obviously you can't replace the bulbs like older lights. Mine all work fine and are awesome.

One reason these might stick is due to excessive heat. Make sure the bulb and fixture is all the way cooled down before you wrestle with it. Expect to have to give it a good twist for it to release, the heat can almost weld it into place. Since the bulb is dead, don't worry about touching the glass. But don't touch the glass on new bulbs! Because they get super hot, any amount of oil from your fingers will kill them within a short amount of use. Also, there are 2 different kinds of these bulbs, one kind twist locks in and another just plugs straight in. If you push the twist lock bulbs into the plugs they will jam. You can work them loose with jiggling or crush the glass with pliers and pull out the pieces. It's not elegant but it's the only way to free the prongs. Hope this helps.
