Any EFX/GP Thunder users from WA State? (Also Questions regarding them)

I'm having difficulties with my EFX angel eyes. I had installed them about 2 days ago and I thought it was successful because both lights were equally lit and looked great. Just last night as I was driving home one of the lights went out so now my left side light is fully functional and my right side light isn't working. I've tried resetting the position of the bulb and making sure the harness isn't hitting the adaptive headlight mechanism either.

Any other advice? Or can I pay anyone to help me out locally?

Thanks

Honestly, I would do the same thing you have already done. Have you tried putting the OEM bulb back in to see if your EFX blew (bad set is possible)?

Yeah I just determined that the problem was that either one of the bulbs or ballasts was faulty. Gonna send em back now for a working replacement.

Anybody have any advice on how to mount the ballast to make it not touch the adaptive mechanism? Superglue?
