Damn, the same thing happened to me, but with some cheap blue lights. The performance shop gave me the wrong wattage, and they blew up in my light. After I showed the guy, he said, "Man, you're lucky. Usually when we give someone the wrong wattage, it fries their wiring harness before the bulb blows up." I was like WTF? I didn't expect some no name brand to cover the "damage", but a company like PIAA should warranty that. Unless it's the shop's fault for giving you the wrong wattage...
Luckily, I had planned to clear my headlights the weekend after it happened, so while I had it apart, I took all the broken glass out.

using the wrong wattage can blow it up? i've been using a higher wattage(not sure what i'll check later) n so far its been fine. even asked the shop n they said that it should be fine, its just going to eat up the battery faster.

Call them and ask. We're not PIAA, so why are you asking us? Seriously, why? I don't know? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
