Yeah, my friend has PIAA's and broke after not even a year. I dunno though.

 

mine blew just after 4months of use, the right side, low beam only, i'm guessing this is because of the DRLs

 

so there is nothing we can do to fix it, cause what is sooooooooo weird is that I thought i was the only one this happened to, mine jus blew too and its my ONE headlight and its my low beam! So i drive around w/ my high beams so my car doesnt look like a "one headlight wonder"

I will tell you this, my PIAA's were awesome, spit out perfect light...its jus spending over $100CDN on bulbs is kinda pricey right now

 

i had the same problem. my left lamp went out with the PIAA's. the audio store i got them from told me they would last a loooooong time. that one lasted exactly 5 monthes. PIAA sucks.

 

hmmmm what bulbs should i get then! I guess ppl cant really recommend n e if there all gonna blow at some point.

 

I got the sylvanias and they're great. The price is right too, paid 62$ CAD for the set.

 

i had piaa fog lights that blew a bulb after 2 years and all i did was write an e mail to them and they sent me a whole new set of fog lights when all i needed was the bulb. you just have to say how happy you've been with their product, not just sit there and trash them.

 

Alright I finally got a pic of the damn plug thats been confusing me.

 

Bump, anybody know what this is for?

 

Come on, someones gotta know what this is.

 

Dam, I'am just tired of explaining this over and over again, dudes they will all blow very quickly no matter what brand they are !

Reason: In the beginning God made regular halogen bulbs that worked at 55W that produce enough light to satisfied DOT, then Satan had an idea to challenge God said lets tint those bulbs blue to make them look like HID, but the problem was by tinting the bulbs it was throwing out less light than required by DOT and was illegal for use.
Satan then had another "bright" idea and said lets make the filament wire in the bulb smaller so that with the same wattage 55W it could throw out more light and pass the DOT test, but God knew Satan's light will never shine long once that super hot thin filament absorbed any impact or vibration it will no longer shine !

 

? I'm not asking about the lights burning out, I'm asking if anyone knows what the hell the little plug is in the pic, the orange one in my hand.

 

That looks like a sensor plug for a O2 sensor, proberly its a default harness that has all the plugs there that your US Lancer might not need.

 

Priceless.
