That price is absolutely ridiculous. I purchased the Silverstars at Wal-Mart for $29.99 (still very expensive in my opinion), and they are great. In reality any 9005 will work fine. If you plan to go over 60watts, I'd upgrade the wiring, because if I remember correctly the stock bulbs are like 32 watts, so the wiring should be upgraded if you are going to be running a much higher wattage.

Oh yeah, as for the PIAA's 60w = 120w. B*LL$H*T. 60watts is 60watts. There's no need to pay $70 for those bulbs.

You could literally go to Walmart and buy a pair of 9005's by Sylvania or GE for about $9.95 and be completely happy.

If you want a white colored bulb, get the silverstars. If you just want more light, get the $9.95 special at Walmart.... you will be happy! (about the light output and the extra $$ in your wallet)

I agree with ^^^^^^^ ,silverstars are much better deal. Those PIAAS are good if you upgrade your wiring and/or housing. Had mine for quite while. and are brighter than my headlights.

Funny you posted this....I just won this Ebay auction : PIAA BULBS

They should be here in a few days. They were cheap because it says they were used, but for $15 they are worth trying.
I have used the siverstars and they are good....had them in all my Rams and currently have them in my Jeep Wrangler, but i wanted to try somthing different and these looked like a good option.
