I have 9004 PIAA Sw's for about 14 months now with no
probs. I also have a set of PIAA H3 Ino crsytal bulbs that
have been in 3 different cars over the last 4 1/2 years
and they still work. I just ordered tonight a pair of
PIAA SW H3's from carparts.com for $20.00 per bulb. Not
a bad price.

I also have a pair of PIAA 1000 driving lights(Ion crystal)
that I used for almost a year when I noticed the beam pattern seemed to be different between the 2 lights. I
e-mailed PIAA with my complaint. They responsed and called
me at work. I retured the lights to there factory in Seattle
and 3 weeks later I received a brand new pair in the mail.
They also wrote me a letter saying they had tested my lights
and agreed with my observations....Not bad for customer
service...I love PIAA products because the company stands behind the quality.

Hope this helps,

My 9004 Superwhites have lasted for about 18 months so far, and I drive pretty regularly at night too.

I've had my PIAA super whites for about 3 yrs. now. I had them in my old Max, then when that got crashed, I put them in my current Max.
