Default My Koito lights blew out on me today...

I'm very disapointed in the Koito lights. After purchasing it abou 6 months ago, I thought I was getting a reliable bulb. It cost me $70. I am deciding to get a new set of bulbs, does anyone know any GOOD reliable BRIGHT bulbs? besides Koito? How are the Sylvania Silverstars? or the PIAA ones... What bulbs do you guys reccomend?

i vote for sylvannia silverstars...they are the brightest whitest set that you can buy, plus they are like less than 40 dollars a set if you look around. PIAA's will blow too, so ive heard, so i dont recomend them, they are expensive and dont last

just buy HID

eventually all the money spent on burnt bulbs would equal to HID, if your scared about burning your harness on HID. Buy from 365motorworks/SS sales he ships his HID with harness feeding power from the battery.

yup.. touching the bulb will definitely shorten bulb life.. i'm just worried about the harnesses melting from using aftermarket bulbs
