PIAAs blow out all the time. I've had to replace my fogs/headlights so many times.

On the other hand I've run PIAAs for nearly a year without a single bulb issue. I've used one set of headlights and used the ion crystals and then switched to the Xtreme whites. I love all my PIAA bulbs.

I've never ran into problems when running PIAA bulbs either. BTW,has anyone seen what the H3 PIAA SparkBlue fogs look like???

Eurolite sucks.

I found with my old max that Walmart brand GE bulbs work the best and the longest, and the brightest. White with a slight hint of blue.
It's like Super blue or super white... Something like that.

I don't believe WAlamart has GE fog lights... Walmart has only GE headlights...

That's my exact setup... The headlights look almost white purple when up close... but if you have someone else drive by you in your car, then the headlight and foglight color realy match... and make you feel good

1) Dumb question but I want to make sure. Since the 2k2 SE manual says T10 on the replacement bulb #, we can use PIAA 168/194's right??? This was regarding the side markers and the clearance lights.

2) Has anyone used PIAA Super Plasma wedge bulbs before? I'm thinking about 'em since my fogs are H3 super plasmas. I noticed that most everyone are runnin' w/ the xtreme's. A matter of preference???

3) Options Auto Salon sells PIAA Xtreme White 168's for $9.95/ pair, whereas LTB Motosports sells the PIAA Super Plasma wedge bulbs for $11.75/ each. Any suggestions?

I'm running PIAA Ion Crystals for fogs, PIAA Super Plasma 168's for my parking lights and Eurolite Fusions for high-beams. PIAA 168's work OK, but are not quite a match for the HID's.

I have not had any problems with the Eurolites. In fact, I replaced all the bulbs in my GF's '02 Cougar to Eurolite Fusions and they are 100X better than stock....
