Well, from experience I can tell you:

-You will pay $20 for cheap bulbs.
-They WILL burn out.
-You WILL scratch your head and buy another $20 set.
-They WILL burn out.
-More headscratching.
-Now you will buy $50 bulbs.
-They WILL burn out and you will notice your harnesses are finally melted.
-You will replace the harnesses and wiring and buy PIAA's and tell this same story to someone a few months down the road who is thinking of buying $20 bulbs.


That route will have you spending $200+ in a 6 month time period. Buy the PIAA's and forget about it!!

I agree. I have had the same experience. Plus, he didn't include the price to replace the harnesses which for me was over $300 from the stealership. Just buy the PIAA's and you will be glad you did down the road.

why not skip all the burning and replacing and get a real HID kit, they are to be used 2000+ hours, which is about the lifetime of the vehicle for most people...take a pair of piaa 50-80 dollars times 6 pairrs, and you get a real HID with twice the light output
Get a HID if you have extra 400 bucks in your wallet now, dont waste tiem going through other bulbs

I just changed my opinion on PIAA's as of this rainy morning on the way to work I found out that my car had a black eye. I paid muthaf*ckin like 80$ for mine and I have only had them on for about 1/2 a year now. I'm pretty pissed b/c I'm thinking tha cheap ones would have lasted that long maybe. Does anybody know if you can get the same bulbs as the QX4's for our G20's?
