Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've purchased these bulbs three times and will never purchase them again.
The first thing that shocked me with these bulbs is that the price you see is a per bulb price, not for a set.So buying two bulbs means you are going to spend darn near $100.That's A LOT OF MONEY for headlight bulbs.In defense of the bulbs, I was highly dissatisfied with the performance of the stock bulbs on my VW Passat and these bulbs are brighter.How much brighter, I can't tell.I know they are still dimmer than many of the Xenon systems on more modern vehicles.All the hype about how you are going to get a Xenon quality of light is just that, hype.Xenon arc lights are a different technology and it shows.
What ruins these bulbs (assuming you can stomach the price in the first place) is how short they last.From the first set, one burned out after 4 months.I chalked that up to me maybe touching the bulb when I installed it, but I was very careful.Basically, I was giving them the benefit of doubt.I shelled out another $50 for a replacement (so my headlights would match in color and output) and then the other one burned out maybe 3 months later.
Granted that my car has permanent day-time running lights, as many cars today do, the service life on these bulbs is ridiculous.I felt so cheated that I contacted PIAA about a warranty or some sort of replacement, the OEM bulbs on my car lasted 6+ years, these replacements couldn't make it 6 months.I figured those numbers couldn't be right.No help from PIAA and absolutely no warranty.(Also, just to put things in perspective, I don't drive my car to work, so its not getting used every day, so its really not racking up the hours, so when I say these bulbs lasted months, we are talking about very very few hours in any given months that these bulbs were discharging.)
This is an overpriced product with marginally better performance than a stock bulb, in essence, its junk.
Ask yourself if you have $100+ to shell out on headlight bulbs every 6-8 months before buying these things.If I had known, I would have.What a waste.
