[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 15769624, member: 22395"] First - I agree the service provided at this price point is unacceptable. However - I'd like to point out - it's not the paint. It's the plastic. If you look at a stock headlight - this is bubbling in the black trim that is around the headlight. You would think that the paint would flake off if you ran your finger across it, but the reality is that it is a solid deformation of the plastic under the paint. The plastic can't take heat - the paint actually is fine. Most don't think of this issue and I actually haven't seen a solution to it. I always thought the issue was with the high wattage bulbs, but the issue still shows up even when you just use the 35W bulbs. I do wonder if LEDs would still cause this issue since they produce light differently. On the bright side (pun intended) it really doesn't affect the performance of the headlight in any way. My thought is that there would need to be aluminum or copper layer on that trim to properly deal with the focused light. Also worth noting that the stock reflector itself can take the heat just fine.
