Default offroad light help

i have a set of piaa 520 lights on my front bumper. they have been installed for 4 months maybe 5. I have actually used them for a total of 4 hours running time. Now one drive side light wont turn on. before i go and rip out the wires and stuff, whats the life span on the bulbs? could it just be burnt out? Its not the ground because both lights use the same ground i think. Ugh this is annoying.

Check all connections first. It could be the bulb, but that's not much life for it. Piaa does give a 1 year warranty on bulbs, and lifetime on everything else

Thanks man. Wasn't sure of the warranty on them. All the connections are good. Looks like I'm gonna need a new bulb

Hey guys, new to the forum still trying to figure things out . I bought a 2012 JKU about a year ago. Since then I installed a 4" lift with adjustable upper and lower control arms, 17x9 Pro Comp rims with 35x12.50x17 Pro Comp Extreme A/T tires. Now I'm looking for some PIAA off-road lights. I read you installed some but your having a problems with them. Other then the bulb issue, do you like the light they give off ? I actually looking at the PIAA 520 series.

I have the D2 from rigid industries. If you ever put these on your jeep you will not want anything else. They also have something like an 80,000 hour life. Prior to the D2 I had KC daylighters they were a joke compared to the ones now I have mounted on the windshield. I hope you find that wiring/bulb problem.

They are very bright and high quality lights. I run 2 sets. Atp's on the windshield and ion crystal fogs on the bumper. I have used other brands and you can tell the quality difference with Piaa lights. Lifetime warranty is good too
