I am sure that Hella fogs have a metal casing, the cheap ones have a plastic case which is maybe why they went up or melted.

it's sh!t made in china.

you've no garantee that what your buying is what it says it is,   it's defantly not made buy company it says it is.   and the only garantee you do get is  if it works it'll breack soon.

i have no time at all for chinky made crap it looks uber cheep but ends up costiung a sh!t load more than a top quality itemmade elsewhere

Yikes, that's some scary sh!t. Worth bearing in mind the old saying if a deal is too good to be true and all that. Still it's a bitter lesson to learn
