Did you have to replace the wiring harness for the fogs???? Or are the PIAA extreme whites alright for the current wiring harness?

I have the H3 and H4 Piaa Superplasmas for about 2 years now and i'm sick of Piaa's quality. The H4 burns out every 5-6 months and H3s last almost 10-12 months. It's your choice. The reason I haven't switched to any other bulb is that I really like the color of the Super Plasmas. As for those things burning out so much, I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with my car itself. I'm assuming it's not cuz the stock bulbs never burned out.

I have Xtreme white fogs and Super Plasma headlights. Check out page 2 of my homepage for a comparison.
The xtreme whites are really white with a hint of blue. The plasmas are purplish/blue and not at bright as the xtremes. I've seen a 2k3 with the Xtremes and they are a really close match.

I just bought some "Metal Thunder HID" Raybrigs and they look sweet. Rated @ 4700k. I think it's a nice cross between yellow tint and xtreme white. Peace_

I've had Super Plasma GT bulbs for over 12 Months now without burnout, I dunno what I'm going to go for after/when they burn out.

Anyone tried the ION H3 PIAA's? I like the look of lexus/ infiniti QX4 fogs.. I want the golden yellow driving light look... Any suggestions? My friend has a set of ION fog lamps (the whole lamp not just the bulbs) on his truck, and when I drive in front of him, its like artificial sunlight its so bright...
