mtec bulb blown?

Do they have any warranty or anything? I have had them probably 8 months...Just one night all of a sudden no longer one side turned on /w bulb warning light now on. So pulled it today and this is what I found...
The other side looks fine.



edit: ah crap found the warranty...requires original box. Not sure if I still have it

Actually, I need the bulbs, I don't have any other H4s lying around :P

Do you want me to send the box over to you so you can get a warranty return?

Sorry forgot to update. RMA went very well. Got a replacement within a week. Had to send $6 for return shipping though of course.

He emailed me back very quick -- no questions. Just gave me address to send to.

Just a thought regarding the burned in mark on the pictured bulb. Make sure you don't touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers when you install, the oil from your skin can rub off on it and cause it to run at higher temps. I usually just wipe them down with rubbing alcohol before I put them in.
