That PIAA sucks. They look great and offer great sight, but they dont last worth jack crap. This seems to be common with our cars as well as others. I bought SilverStars today after my second blow out. The color and sight of the SilverStars are good, although not as nice as the PIAAs. The cost was a lot nicer though at less than 40 dollars for the set. While PIAAs will not hurt your wires and offer exceptional visability and color tone, they will hurt your pocket as they blow too often. After the purchase of 80 dollar headlights, one initial blow out with warranty replacement and one being 4 days after my warranty expired (after asking if there was anything they can do, the authorized retailer that I bought them from said: "You can come in and buy a new set."...needless to say I hung up the phone.), I am officially saying screw PIAA.
Why didn't I contact PIAA directly? Is it worth it considering that even if I get a replacement that my lights will blow again in a few months? I personally think not, so I cut my losses and went with something else.
My friend is on his third set of PIAAs since September. He has a different vehicle and a different trim light.
So be warned, they look and perform great...until the blow out. A guy who sells PIAA told me that the majority of their lights do not last much over a year, if that; well #&^% that.
