Diode Dynamics side markers burnt out after 1 year

Last august I bought and installed a Diode Dynamics side marker kit.
Yesterday, only a year and a bit later, I noticed my rear passenger side marker is burnt out.
Does anyone know what the process is for getting them replaced under warranty, which is 3 years.

its easy, you email them, send them pictures and your receipt and they send you a new piece with a return label included and you send the defective one back. I've done it before and the rest of my set haven't burnt out again after the one did one time.

I bought mine 2nd hand from a dude selling his camaro and they even accepted the receipt from him for me.

Awesome thanks. I bought them from Phastek, so I emailed Phastek.

Warranty claims are generally taken care of by the manufacturer and not the vendor, especially after a year. You may have better luck going directly to Diode Dynamics.

My driver side Diode Dynamics front marker lost half its LEDs in a few months, then the replacement did the same. At this point I switched to JW Motorsports, and that kit has been running strong for about two years.

(Still have the other 3 DD side markers in case someone wants a free replacement and is willing to pay for shipping )

Emailed Phastek and their support has been amazing. Got a reply immediately and they will handle the warranty claim for me.

DD had a bad batch about 3 years ago. Haven't been issues in the last 2 years from what I have seen.

Update: So Phastek took care of everything! They communicated with DD on my behalf and DD is shipping me a new marker.
Exceptional customer service from Phastek!
