osram headlights delaminating?

[krvnked]

hey guys unfortunately it looks like my European imported Osram headlights are delaminating.

kind of upsetting considering their cost but I am totally happy with their performance and looks. I just noticed this while walking out to my car the other day. they have been on my car for less than 2 years, about 18 months. I live in New Jersey so our summers have been pretty hot but our climate is not outrageous or anything. I handwash the car and do not use any abrasive soaps or chemicals so I do not think it's something I did. I was trying to blame myself for this but it just looks like product failure. is this just something inevitable I should ignore or should I contact sylvania/osram and see if they would replace them under warranty? Not sure how successful I'd be considering these were imported

For how much they cost, that is something I would definitely reach out to them and see if they will replace it but I guess it depends on their warranty so who knows.

Yeah I sent them an email but I'm not holding my breath since I bought them from a German online automobile store, but they're pretty reputable and I provided proof of purchase in my email. Regardless I found something that says they warranty their automobile parts for 5 years... I'll let you guys know what they say. I'm kind of screwed though because if they ask for me to send them back I sold my stock headlights and I won't have a drivable car until I get replacements.

I could sell you my stock headlights that I'm not using.
