I dont trust ebay man. If the sender doesnt ship, all ebay can do is suspend the shippers account and ure $$'s gone. Lifespan of PiAa so far was about 8 months. Nokya lasted me about almost a year.

 

my cousin had them on her 02 Accord and it burned out within 2 months

 

Good point, won't bulbs at that wattage melt the existing hardware? I don't think the stockers are nearly that high.

Also, Nokya sucks. I had some a while back, nice look as long as you weren't driving in the pitch black night. They don't light up ****! ...but they do look cool.

Too bad they only lasted 2 months.

 

I got some new harnesses from ebay. Almost any 9007 harness will work. If you know how to wire things up and solder, then you should get the harnesses for anything over 90w.....I melted and burnt my stock ones on 100w bulbs.

 

are there any bulbs out there that shine duller than the stock ones? coz from wut i figure, ALL aftermarket bulbs SHOULD be brighter than stock.. but are there any out there that arent?

 

I have a friend who works at Auto Freak. You don't always get what you pay for. I know people love the letters JD&M, but they don't make products better.

I've had $20 crap bulbs off ebay for over a year. No burnouts, but my driver's side harness was left unsealed and the bulb bubbled. It still hasn't burst and lights fine.

I'm not saying to buy cheap bulbs, but you may want to take other people's advise as secondary to your own instinct. I think I'd rather lose $20 on ebay than $90 on PIAA bulbs. No, I have nothing against PIAA (in fact I just bought a set of their fogs second hand), but their retail prices are insane. Gimme two corner store double D flashlights and a roll of duct tape any day.

 

yea i just bought these $20 bulbs today and they're no-names.. there's just a label there saying 'euro white xenon' on the front. i'd rather buy 3 sets of these over a span of a year rather than 2 sets of piaa's in a year.. 3 sets of these dont even add up to the piaa's, but then again you're always paying for the name

 

since this thread got so off track i figure i'll put my .02 in. i'm running sylvania silverstars and i absolutely love them. i know there have been discussions about likes/dislikes...but all i ever get are compliments so i'm sticking with 'em.

 

oh i wanted silverstars too.. but i've read that people think they look the same as stock and burn out faster, thats why i didnt get them.. but would u happen to have pics? and how long have they lasted you?

 

those euros are a piece a crap. They only lasted a couple weeks. thats what you get for $20 bucks.

 

them blowing by themselves hasn't happened. i crossed 2 wires and blew a fuse and one of them blew out as a result. the first night i put them in i actually got compliments from a guy who drives a Scooby. personally, i think there's a huge difference...at least driving at night.

i'll see if i can take some pics tonight.

 

I've had mine for almost a year and I've had no problems at all and they are much brighter than stock.

 

get HID you wussies... these cheap halogen bulbs will just make your car look cheesy- stay with the stock bulbs or upgrade to an HID and never have to buy any replacement bulbs again!!!

 

Amen
