i bought xenon fogs less than month ago and today i noticed that my driver's side fog blew. They're made by kydo and there's like lightning and japanese writing on the box. On the side they say H-3X 70 watt. I got these for like 20 bucks at a local performance shop and that looked like **** anyway, still looked yellow at night. i was going to order the PIAA fogs from custommaxima but am not sure. They are like 60 bucks and ill really be ****ed if those blow. Let me know what you think. BTW I have a 2000 SE

I have the PIAA Xtreme Whites from Optauto.com for about $60. They really match the HIDs on my 2k3...very white.

PIAAs also have a 1 year warentee that covers if they blow. Also, don't forget you can't touch the bulb when you install...oil from your hands will cause a hot spot on the glass and premature blowing ( ).

The PIAAs are rated as 55w=85w (as in 85w worth of light output at only 55watts).
