I'm in Quebec Canada, so maybe it's different than U.S. ?

I'll tell you I got the hyperwhites and one day I smelled my engine burning, it took me a week to figure what was going on. I found out that the wires and one the piece of plastic that connects to the bulb. I stopped it on time but it still caused some damage to the wire. So I guess just watch out. I didn't know that the bulbs were under warranty.

Thanks to the BEST MAN Brian.
Above things were my first modification done ever since I bought my car.
He knows damn well about the cars. I will say he's the walking solution manual.:D
he spent a lot of hours to work with my car, and he treated my car like his car.
He didn't even charged me for labor work.
That saved hell out of money. I was so lucky I met him. If you see him in person, you will be amazed too.;)
I was little jealousy cause he's car performs much better than mine. oh well i'm just an automatic~
Thank You again brian~ You are the BEst of the BEST!!!

I always forget that we aren't always what we appear to be, that avatar/picture had me going. I should know better, I'm not an emaciated crazy old sailor.

One thing about aftermarket mods, if you're planning on selling it limits your options, a lot of people won't touch it, they assume it's been raced. Or they don't want the hassle in case it was done wrong. I picked up my GSR from a Tiawanese student, he had put in some white parking lights that caused me nothing but problems. If I ever buy another used car it will be stock.

sorry~ she's my gf~:D

There shouldn't be a problem with running STOCK wattage bulbs in your car...this means 55/65W. You can run the higher wattage bulbs but you will probably melt either the housing or the bulb connector. I have seen this happen to many people :p .
I have the PIAA stock SuperBlue 55/65W bulbs, and the only problem I have dates back to before the PIAAs were installed :rolleyes: . For some reason my car melts the drivers/left H/L Low-beam wire. If I wiggle the connector the light comes on. The contacts corrode for some reason causing resistance and excess heat. The dealer dosn't know why :rolleyes: :rolleyes: , and they have rewired that side. It has reappeared and I am going to repair it myself, with a new plug and a sht load of grease to keep the water out :mad:
I only installed the PIAA bulbs to match the fog lamps with blue lenses I had installed.
