Stay away from Polarg bulbs...they arent that good. Look at my pics in members rides. The turn signal and parking light bulbs dont exactly match in color. And from certain angles they look like they give off a stock yellow color. With the stock headlights, you can't even tell its white from far away. Just my opinion...

I heard that PIAA's are the only bulbs that run at stock wattage, so they won't fry your electrical system over time. Anyone have any input on this?

(I heard it from three or four people who own a performance shop down the road.)

Yeah. I've heard this too. I've also heard that PIAA is the only other company (next to Sylvania) that their bulbs are DOT legal. Not 100% sure on that one. I'm actually looking at getting a set of the Super Plasma/GT bulbs myself if I can find a decent price.

PIAA is the best, I had some in mine, but I burned em out..just watch with newer aftermarket bulbs, you can't run em like daytime running lamps or they will burn out quick...that is what I was doing at least!!

Wll, I don't know about you guys but I had some PIAA hyperwhites and I'm not saying they're bad or anything but the first one blew out at 4 months, and the second one just 3 months after that. Got sick of replacing them so just ended up putting back the stock ones on.
I still miss the brightness but just didn't feel like spending the cash to replace them all the time..., ya know?

i wouldn't pay $58 for a pair of bulbs.

i got some no-name bulbs off groupbuycenter for $9 shipped, and they run at stock wattage - waiting for them to get here so i can see what they look like.
