So I'm guessing you purchased everything from the aliexpress URL.
I was very skeptical of the product due to China's fault for quality control, guess time will tell. On the bright side, the finish product looks amazing! Please update us if the product keeps up.

Yea, I should have put this in a different thread. But spoolinX1 dropped a lot of applicable info in this thread that I used to make my decision.
You have to decide what is the level of risk you can tolerate.
I broke it down like this:
1) Mechanical - The projector is actual very good.
2) Bi-Xeon (Ballast and Bulb) - Easy to replace with of the shelf components.
3) LED's and drivers - The drivers are is the biggest risk, custom electronics.
4) Shipping - See supplier for info
So, worst case I gambled away $1000, I will cry a few days then move on.
I can deal with everything else.
I actual run the lights on a bench power supply on and off over a month and made 100% sure everything is working before installing.
I made sure there is no overheating and that current is in the expected range.
My trip to work (40 min) with only the LED's on did not even heat up the LED heatsinks mounted under the housing
