Default Silverstar headlights crap? (LT1 guys)

I bought a pair of those Silverstar headlights for about $25 each at autozone about a month ago. I was in traffic lastnight and noticed one light was way dimmer than the other. Turns out when i got home I got out and looked, one is bright hot white like it should be and the other turned yellow and is about half as bright. Has anyone had this problem? I know alot of guys go with the brighter aftermarket lights because stock ones suck. And didnt see anything about a warranty or anything either, so I guess Im out $25.

Connector didnt work its way a little loose, did it? Anyway, I've heard that they burn out failry quickly compared to regular halogens, but that didnt stop me from installing them on my girlfriends '94 either.

Yea it sounds like a bad connection. Usually those 3 prong connectors can go bad
