It doesnt say if it's 55W or 85W. Needs more info to be sure, but it should be okay.

They're 55w with something like a 125w output I think. Not sure exactly what the 125w is, but they are for sure okay for fogs.

they are 55w bulbs, but the light output looks like that of 125w bulbs. so they are safe, if they are in fact the 55w bulbs

I know they'll fit, but i want to make sure they wont burn up my harnesses or anything. On the box it actually says " 65/55W ----> 130/125W "
still good?

For $10, you could buy 4 sets for the price of PIAA. Might be worth considering.

PIAAs are so expensive though, and they burn out just like other lower quality bulbs

Not if you buy them on Ebay. I got my H3's for $12 plus shipping. I got my 9005 High beams for 24.95 shipped. Look around and you can find them.

are you sure you got real PIAA's? Most of the bulbs on ebay say "PIAA rated"

Yes, they are the real deal. I compared them to a friends PIAA's that he paid $90 after tax for and they were identical. He got them from Sound Advice, so teh markup is prolly huge. I do know what youre talkin about though, there are alot of "PIAA rated bulbs" that I have seen. But if you really look, you can find the real deal.
