I've had a bad experience with their headlight bulbs before. I made all the precautions not to touch the glass. About a little over a month, and bam!...lights out. I paid top dollar for them bulbs.

Nah, i just ended up buying generic brand bulbs from ebay. They actually lasted a little longer than i thought they would....but those were back in the days.

No problems out of my Piaa's yet. I first bought them in 04 and they have transfered to a few different cars.

I had a pair of eurodezigns go out in less than 24 hours.

Edit: before anyone says anything, I didn't touch the the lens at all. I handled them with a brand new microfiber cloth.

I had one bulb of a set of Luminics burn out after only a few months. I replaced em with another set of Luminics and havent had any problems as of yet. Knock on wood

It's also important that the bulb doesn't touch anything when you're maneuvering it into the socket.

Your right. Those bulbs didn't break the filament on both of them went out after about an hour or so of use. Being all the way in Japan, I really didn't feel like dealing with shipping again, so I gave up on that company.

I've worked with studio lighting so I know how sensitive the glass is.
