They can be bought as singles. I've seen them on Ebay and at least 1 internet retailer (sorry, but I don't remember where).

Mine are just over 6 months old and no problems yet ......

This is going to go on as a repost for a long time bc people mistakingly think PIAA makes good bulbs just bc they charge high prices. Super Plasma H3's in my car, one went out after 1 month! POS!

I have a $20 set of NOKYA bulbs now and they work fine, look great, and I dont have to worry if my very expensive bulb goes out again.

P.S. If you need an H3 PIAA super plasma bulb hit me up on PM, I will sell it to u

Dunno - my PIAA Extreme Whites have been in for about 18 months, and are still going strong, even with cracked fog lenses (rocks) and condensation in the housing.

Just switched them into the new replacement fog lights, they look great.

As lontar said they are warrantied for a year, call who you got them from and they should send you new ones for free, if they wont call Piaa and they will send you new ones.

If you want to talk about crappy lights....The 2002 headlights are the ones that suck. They are know to be the worst reflector type HID's on the market, yet tons of people drop $600+ on them

I'm confused by this: # Wattage (Draw): 55/60W (low/high beams)
# Wattage (Output): 90/100W (low/high beams)

Are your Nokyas the same? Are they the 7000k bulbs?

I need a new set, but something cheap, since I'll be buying 02/3 HIDs soon.
