Default LED replacement bulbs

I replaced my halogen headlight bulbs with Sinoparcel LED bulbs off of Amazon quite a while ago. They had good reviews and I read a read about them on here. I’ve honestly been very pleased with the light output. My driver side low beam recently went out. I was looking at it tonight and it’s actually on, but extremely dim. It’s a total pain in the rear to change the bulbs out on these trucks. Is there anything in particular that would case the one to be very dim and a way to maybe correct it? I can’t find the same LED bulbs on Amazon now so I’m going to have to replace the passenger and driver side out, I guess...

Same thing with me just a couple weeks ago. It was on, but dim, no hotspot. I got lucky and found a pair on ebay (only pair listed) and swapped them in and good as new.

My Sinoparcels bought off Amazon came with a two-year warranty, otherwise I would not have purchased them.

Have you contacted the seller?

This brings up a good point: if availability can be a problem, it might make sense to keep an extra set in stock. I could still deal with warranty if one failed, but be back in business right away.

^^^this. I keep spare bulbs and ballast under back seat. If I have to I can pull into a well lit gas station for quick swap if I have problems.
