PIAA SUPER WHITE BULBS burned out dims

I installed PIAA Super Whites in my 2K1 Civic, and in about 3 months, both of the dims have burned out. Anyone else have this problem? and if so, how did you fix it?

i have piaa plasma white for about 3 months, first bulb blew the parking light, the light that turn on when release handbreak (canada), also high beam not working for the same bulb, now, just 2 days ago after i take it off to clear corner, i didnt drop it or anything, i didnt touch it at all, it just died on me on low beam, i never use piaa heads again, its so expensive and nothing but trouble, i rather get some low watts white bulbs that cost around 20CAD, prolly last longer than piaa

I was wondering if the wiring harness was to blame.....maybe a heavy duty one would do the trick. The PIAA's are 80 watts, and I am not sure the wiring can handle that, but for the price $80.00 for the pair of PIAA's. sheeeeeeeeesh, I am so disappointed....they are very bright though, and when working, I can see forever...thanks for the input.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
