They are really DECENT lights, they say you get what you pay for? These are top of the line. Ran me $80 for my H4 bulbs and $20 for my Parking lights in Platnium Super White, plus tax.

PIAA supposely are the best HIDlookalike company, their bulbs also cost twice as much as competitors and I think they have a one year warranty also. I personaly would not shell out the extra 40 dollars for them, 6 sets of PIAA, I can get myself trueHID. My Hiper industries Xenon are still tickin' not as blue, but still bright as the day i got them

I have PIAA's and i have no complaints at all. The 55/120 input/output and the 1 yr warranty sold me on them even though they cost me $120....

Only PIAA's I've got are all of my accessory bulbs inside and out(7443 & 194 Xtreme Whites). Why don't you guys just save some cash for true HIDs to replace your H4's? If you're going to spend 80-120 on halogen H4's, then save up 3-4 times that, and never have to repace your headlight bulbs again.

Nothing compares to true HID. Closest I have found to the HID look though are CATZ Galaxy White H4's, thats what I had before my HIDs.

I've got PIAA's Xtreme White's and I really like them. Options Auto Salon is the cheapest place to get them.

I got em in my car when the body shop had to repair the headlight that got smashed.... $80 xtreme white bulbs are the closest to real HID I've ever seen. One problem with the old cheap Nokya Arctic Whites I had was they got extremely hot after being on for very long and a friend told me he had one shatter once. They are about 1/3 the price, and have a blue tint to them.
Anyways I recommend PIAAs. Of course it's easier to say that when I got mine free

lexboy is still postwhorin it up....
