The low beam on one of my PIAAs bulbs went off yesterday. I checked the bulb and the filaments throughly and found nothing bad with them (both high beam and low beam filaments are complete and making contact were they are supposed to), the gas is there because the high beam would light and bla bla bla.
I already mailed PIAA and told them all this althought I guess I will receive an answer saying that their warranty does not cover bulbs (at over USD 75 a pair it should even cover acts of God).
Problem is, I want to get some bulbs that light as good as the PIAA's (since 85% of the roads here have no light) without the blueish ricer color and without having to shove out another USD $80 for a pair of bulbs that would last only 2 years.
If you think a bulb that last only 2 years is good, think again, I have a pair of Hellas that work as DRLs, they see the triple the use I gave to the PIAAs and they are still working fine.
I've read here and in other forums that Silverstars are just as good and are cheaper, but I'd like to hear your opinions on the subject, mostly from previous PIAA owners who changed brands.
Sorry for the testament and thanks.
