Urgent update on oe dtrl

[MTN FX]

Urgent update!!!!!!
DO NOT USE BOTH FILAMENTS OF THE OE BULBS!!!!!!!!!
The OE bulbs get too hot when using both filaments My headlight housings melted!!!!!
The only good news here is that I have not had them changed out under the service recall yet. Guess I will be doing that soon!!!

Not as bright as the LEDs were but much brighter than before. Guess this will have to do till I can find suitable replacements.

I can hook you up with some new lenses for inside if you wanted to take the lamps apart

Wow, that's not good. Is it just the lens got melted. Is the chrome housing/shoud ok?

The opposite-- chrome bezel and inner lens melted.
