to anyone who has installed hyperwhites
i keep reading in peoples signatures/mod lists that they have plasma bulbs or hyperwhites...take them out. i say this because on my g20 it caused the wiring harness and socket to fail. i have reason to believe this is due to the fact that these bulbs want to draw more power and the ground isn't strong enough to handle this. i am not the only nissan to have experienced this...my friend chad had his sockets melt out on his nx2k and my friend adam experienced thesame problem on his classic se-r. i only post this as a warning. not everyone may experience this but myself and others have. use these at your own risk. i only did for a brief period of time under the assumption that they would have the light dispersement that they advertise...they did not. that is all...bye now.

My guess is that you were running high wattage bulbs (these get hotter than standard wattage bulbs). I have used Xenon charged bulbs for over a year now with no problems.

my opinion only but....hyperwhites or HID lights are way too bright. I could hardly see the road one time due to light coming from a new S2000. It's really irritating sometimes. I thought they were illegal but it looks like all new higher end cars are using these high intensity lights. (shrugs) I once high-beamed a new bimmer thinking someone had left their highbeams on...only to have him high-beam me back to show their highbeams were already off. Anyway, just my opinion.

what wattage are you guys using? if 55/60w, shouldnt melt the harness. if all harnesses melted, piaa would be out of business long time ago.
