Has anyone had to replace their replacement bulbs yet? Since these bulbs burn brighter/whiter I'm guessing they won't last as long as the OEM halogens.

I have a set of PIAA H7's ordered. I have used their bulbs in the past and liked the performance. The set in my Lightning have lasted more than 3 years. Light out put is very good. No additional strain on the system since the actual wattage is the same as stock.

PIAA, PIAA, PIAA!! I have used PIAA Extreme White bulbs in all my cars for over 5 years now and there is no doubt they are the highest quality bulbs on the market. The average $65, but the are worth it. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!

If you're looking to match the Zenon, then you need something in the 7000 kelvin range (beyond white but not purple 8500k). PIAA bulbs are in the 3800 I believe, not quite as white as the sun.
