XM vs. Ushio bulbs

I was running them on Icecaps. Returning them was no prob, I got them from J&L's, just had to pay $10 to ship them back which sucked.
Like Willow said make sure the bulb can run on your type of ballast.

FYI:

J&L gives store credit for the return shipping cost when you are returning because of defective or broken equipment.

if your bulb won't fire or looks yellow because because you bought a bulb that won't fire on your ballast it's not defective and they will not return it. my gf is going thru this with them now.

Yes, they have to actually be defective.

The XM's are far brighter, but have had a couple bad bulbs.

Assuming some of the same bulbs ran, and others did not, J&L would take them back and credit you the return shipping.
