You should only buy these HID look bulbs for the "cool" factor. They typically will burn out much faster than normal OE bulbs. It's because they are designed to burn brighter (closer to the burn out point of the filament), but then use those Xenon or whatever gas to prevent them from burning out.

PIAAs are good and they tend to last longer than other cheap bulbs, but really expensive . I've seen H7 PIAAs on ebay several times.
