One of my side lights has given up after not that long (over 6 months though) (went onto the website to see how old they are but there doesn't seem to be a previous orders section), the other one is still going strong - touch wood. None in stock last time I looked so got some from AF which I'm yet to fit

I'd not be happy personally. They are the price that they are and it kind of puts them towards the higher end of the market. If they have failed after 6 months I'd be talking-to point of sale. There is another issue to consider however. Is there an issue with the car that's causing them to fail?
Hope you get it sorted,
Best,

I would say you need to talk to them ASAP, Remember you can return faulty goods way after 6 months and these would be faulty - I would expect a minimum of 3yr life (because the originals from the factory are covered under warranty for 3yrs)
Return them for a new one Mike
