i have them on my car now. had them only for like 2 months but ya its been fine so far. btw how much did you get it for? i got mine for 25. i think ebay has them for 17 tho.
did u get the blue one or the purple one? cuz the store i got it from sells the Showoff Kryption 4300K blue or the purple one. i was thinking that the cop will pull me over more if i have the purple one so i bought the blue one.

Here's my .02: I have tried PIAA, Carmate (Catz), and Raybrig--all of which are anywhere from $60-90, btw--and one of the bulbs would always quit around 1-3months.
Now I have a cheap set of Eaglite Plasma Xenons (blue-white, really) that I bought for $20 from a friend...They're fine after about 2 months now and counting...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
It just doesn't add up...I gave up trying to figure it out[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

What if I happen to get some cheap bulbs and end up melting my wires..how much damage will it do? Is it easy to clean/replace?

If U wanna look like U have HID buy HID...otherwise just invest in some high powered regular bulbs.....maybe they dont look as cool but the light they put out is far superior to any of the HID wannabe lights....
Just my $0.02
as far a burning the harnesses just relay the lights and use a larger guage wire (I use 12awg wire on mine) and everything will be fine
