|
With the exception

long as the original purchaser owns them. |
| |
| EXCLUSIONS |
|
This Limited
Warranty specifically excludes defects resulting from misuse, abuse,
neglect, alteration, modification, improper installation, unauthorized
repairs, submersion, theft, Vehicle crash, or by any other type of
impact. Except for the Limited Warranty stated above, there are no
warranties of PIAA products or any part thereof, whether express or
implied. Any implied warranty of merchantability or any warranty of
fitness for a particular purpose is expressly disclaimed. Some states do
not permit the disclaimer of implied warranties. |
|
| EXCLUSION OF
DAMAGES |
|
In no event shall
PIAA be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without
limitation, consequential damages, incidental damages, or damages for
loss of use, loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of
business information, loss of time, inconvenience, or other losses)
arising out of the use, misuse, or inability to use a PIAA product. PIAA
reserves the right to change the design its products without any
obligation to modify any previous product. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from

|
| REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT |
If a PIAA product
is suspected of being defective, it must be submitted freight prepaid,
to either an authorized dealer or distributor for warranty inspection.
The receipt or other proof of purchase and a description of the problem
must be included. The returned product will be inspected. If the product
is found to be defective and covered by this Limited Warranty, the sole
remedy is repair or replacement, at PIAA's option. A repaired or
replacement product will be shipped back at no charge, and will be
warranted to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials under normal use for as long as the original
purchaser owns it. Removal, installation, or reinstallation costs are
not covered by this Limited Warranty. |
|
| LENS CRACKS |
|
Crash or impact
damage is not covered. This can be determined by a chip or scrape on the
lens or the housing. Stress cracks sometimes occur when the lens is
subjected to sudden and extreme temperature changes. A stress crack has
no chip or other sign of impact. Stress cracks are covered under
warranty. |

| BULBS |
|
Bulb failures
caused by voltage surges have become more common as new vehicles have
placed greater demands on factory electrical systems. The main lamp
ground wire must be connected to the battery negative terminal or to a
cable leading to it. If a voltage surge occurs, the bulb will look like
it was struck by lightning! The metal base & glass will be burnt or the
filament will blow up! |
|
 |
Prevent voltage surges by
always starting the engine before turning on auxiliary lamps, and turn
the lamps off before turning off the ignition (the latter is the most
common cause of bulb destroying voltage surges). |
|
|
| CONDENSATION |
Some moisture inside the lamp
is normal. The lamp should dry out after a few minutes of operation. If
it doesn't, check the following: |
|
|
| 1) |
The lens may be upside down.
The PIAA name must read right side up so the vent on the bottom can
drain. |
|
|
| 2) |
The lens/reflector unit may not
be mounted tight against the lamp housing. Loosen, then re-tighten the
screws. |
|
|
| 3) |
The gasket may be twisted or
pinched. Some gaskets have a vent gap. Make sure it's on the bottom. |
|
|
|
4) |
Lamps with a "Snorkel" type
wiring grommet in the back of the housing must have the opening facing
down. |
|
|
|
5) |
9O Pro lamps have a vent on the
back of the housing in the center. The opening must be facing down. |
|
|
|
Water leaks through an obvious
gap in the sealant or from a loose lens are defects covered under
warranty.
|
|
Proper auxiliary
lamp aiming is the most important part of an installation.
