Anyone else have a problem with HOEN 9006 early burnout?
Mine lasted less than a month.
(&yes, I was careful not to get my fingers on them)
At first I thought it may be due to the CDN spec, running fogs as DTRL on a reduced voltage.
But I don't think that's the case, or they would have been dim as DTRL, then bright as fogs.
...most of all I'm PO'd that I have to put the yellow OE 9006 back in.

I had my Hoens in for around 4 months before my accident and they worked perfectly.
And I have a friend who's had them in his Lexus IS for almost a year now with no problems.
Not sure why yours burned out so quickly
Get better bulbs this time around. Not sure what's good since I'm looking for good 6k fogs myself so I can't recommend anything

I have the Hoens (they look really close to stock). I've had mine for 7 months now and no problems. Did you accidentally touch the bulb maybe? (BTW I have my fogs on always when my lights come on).
