I'm pretty sure a relay doesn't amplify a source.

Anyways, I think these are for PIAA's fog light part replacement. I don't even see any products on PIAA's website that shows these. http://www.advrider.com/forums...81656 read these post. I found on Google.

I don't think it's worth the money, so

My PIAA bulbs lasted 5 years. I'm pretty sure OEMs are longer than those.

man, no offence or anything, but you need to go back to school to learn how to read, write and comprehend the english language. First off, your post makes no sense, just like the other ones you have made. Second, a Relay does not amplify anything, its an electrical switch. Third, what is listed on that website, is a replacement relay for PIAA fog lights.

Fog lights use a relay for a couple reasons.

1) A relay can be used to that the fogs will not be on when the car is not running (battery saver)

2) A relay can turn the fogs off when the high beams are on.

So, before you make another post, step back, think about what your asking, and for god sake, ask someone else to proof read your posts, because they make no sense

Yes you can use a set of 9000 series PIAA's. They make both the high and low 9005 & 9006 replacement bulbs for our Accords.

Check this site out:

Easy on the typing bashing. At least it's not phonetic like most of the so called english speaking uneducated idiots on here.

dont touch the glass. Dont let the glass touch any part of the car. oil and dirt will kill the light, so make sure that it touches absolutly nothing, and it will last quite a while

A big one right there!!!! that could be why your bulbs are burning out too.

Also don't turn on and off your headlight constantly. Just like switching on and off the incandescent bulb in the house, can kill the bulb's life by half!

Buy quality. Silverstars, PIAA, Raybrig. Any big name lighting company. I used to buy those cheap ebay products, they lasted only 6 months, at most a year.

standard OEM replacement bulbs last the longest.

and a relay will not help extend the bulb life.
