PIAA Blown

This sucks, I turn on the Max last night after getting out of the WORST movie I have ever seen, "Gangs of New York". and guess what, bright flash and now I have only one light bulb. 90 Dollars bulbs and it lasted me only 9 months. I am thinking of maybe getting a new style of PIAAs, I had the Super Plasmas, any suggestions for others?

You may want to contact PIAA directly, if i'm not mistaken they have a 1/yr guarantee on their bulbs.

hope this helps

I heard the movie was pretty good. Why did it suck? Sorry to hear about your bulb.

The movie was just really weird... it gave off so many mixed emotions you had no clue what to think...... not one of Martin Scorse's best works.

HEHE, not a bad Idea! I was going to bring em back to the place I got them but it closed, So I ordered a new set online, and am going to return them say it blew after a week of use, get another set and sell it. So if anybody is looking for a set of Plasmas, let me know.

I could never get a PIAA to work longer than 8 months. I used them on two different cars for both head and fog lights. I'll never buy them again for the money you pay.
