HID fake

I installed a set of H3 and H4 Eurolites on my 2K SE and they're pretty sick. I had a problem with them blowing though, anyone else had this problem or what?
FYI - get the warranty!!!

I have these bulbs in my 2K SE, and I never had a problem of them blowing. I'm going on about 4 months now. I had posted a thread similiar to this last week.

Wow, I wonder if they're just not in good or what? I had to jerry rig the driverside fog in till I got the pin from Nissan and its too cold to put it in now.
What was that post?

Make sure you don't touch the bulb glass when installing them and they should not blow that soon. Usually it is the oil off of your hands that get's on the glass and slowly boils, after a while it cracks the glass, or get's the element too hot and it fries.

just my .02

Well, actually, I had started a post about how bright these bulbs were. I believed these were a great brand of bulbs for that bright "white" look. Scroll a few pages and you should find the post.

thanks...I like the look of the bright white, I just hope the plug from Nissan will stop the fog lights from blowing. That and if I stop hitting those speed bumps too hard

you just have to make sure they're the same wattage as the OEM bulbs otherwise you'll burn your housing or bulb

wow wheres all the people who used to chime in and say "yeah my piaa went out again...3rd time this year" and "eurolites suck! no light output whatsoever and it blew on me!"

Well, that's good if they don't blow then. Good luck with your set and like someone said in this thread, do not touch the bulb with your fingers.

Over one year w/ PIAA Xtremes fogs/high beams and eurolites (clear markers/interior door/map bulbs) and no problems

Although my first set of fogs lasted 1 month (polargs) and a cracked fog- they sucked(turned yellowish too)
