steviej Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Recently I noticed that the DRLs were starting to look really sad/tired and the illumination achieved on high was not what I was used to. I pulled the two 9005 PIAA Xtreme White bulds that have been in there for 2 years now. The DRLs are on all the time and I use alot of back roads and country roads so my highs get a fair amount of playing time. I guess I got my money's worth on these bulbs. Here is what I found. They are not blown, they are just all sooty inside and kinda look pregnant. They have been replaced with Sylvania Silverstars. Lets see how long they go for at half the price. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine didn't heve the pregnant bubbles though, and there was also some yellow goo in with the black goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
