Make sure when you put them on you dont touch the bulbs itself. I personaly stick w/ oem bulbs cuz the aftermarket ones never last long for me.

I went through those xenon bulbs like it was nothing so i bought a pair of PIAAs and they havent burned out yet. Ive prolly had them atleast 6 months or so. When you put them in dont touch them ever even you do wipe them off there will still be oil on your hands on them. Where rubber gloves and wipe them with a little bit of alcohol and they should last a while.

There is 3 different PIAA bulbs on that page. I cant remember which one I got but I think they went up on the prices. Anyways PIAA is a good bulb.
