PIAA Super Plasma

I believe I read somewhere that the PIAA Super Plasma H3 bulbs come with some sort of warranty. If this is the case then can someone please post some more information on the warrantly. I'm on my second pair and one of them just blew 2 months after I put them in. This is getting to be rediculous, not to mention expensive! Thanks in advance.

What was the number you called? And also...is that the 9led you have for your clearance light in your sig? I've been using polarg M4s but it looks like the LEDs look a lot better.

I've stood beside my PIAA fogs, but yesterday one went out. It was also the coldest day they have ever felt (15 degrees) so I'm wonding if that may have played a factor.

BTW I've had my fogs for about 8 months. I'm not about to take off my lip just to replace a freakin bulb unless I get HID fogs.

PIAA bulbs come with a 1 year warranty. The place you bought them from is supposed to help you with that. They take the bulbs back, send them to PIAA for inspection and a replacement pair is sent back. They won't warranty a fingerprint on the bulb but will cover anything else. That's why I recommend buying them locally if possible.

$275 aint bad. but i thought i remember reading you say that they're not that easy to install.

for now i think i'll just stick with my PIAA super plasmas. i just called the site i bought mine from (www.optionsauto.com) and they were very helpful. said that if i sent the pair back they'd forward it onto PIAA and send me a replacement/refund/my bulbs back depending on what PIAA decides. so i just had to spend another $50 to get a pair to last me while those are at PIAA. now if the weather would only warm up enough for me to be able to swap them out i should be all set.

The bulbs heat up alot causing the foglight housings to crack. HIDs stay cool....and take up less voltage.

Sorry...It's very minor work....I cut the plug off the stock fogs and soldered onto the tips of the HID kit....then taped...then siliconed cause some plugs were too big for the hole of the Foglight cap (drilled then siliconed)...
