ok the time has come where 1 of my headlights are out and i need new ones...been a while since i got some low beams and ive burnt out my harnesses before like 2 years ago so im kinda paranoid but can u guys answer some questions and ensure me these headlights are safe to install??
u guys are experts on this stuff hope u can help me out :rolleyes2:

i've done searches on here and saw 55w is stock for our low beams...and i saw the color temperature pure white is 4200 K ...but i just want to make sure these PIAA bulbs are safe and wont burn out the harnesses...just want some of all your expert's help...says 51 watts and approx. 4000 K if thats possible...are these safe to install without burning the harnesses? also just making sure is 9006 the right part number? just want to make sure im getting the right bulb here...sorry if im paranoid just dont want to get the wrong bulb here...here is the link...

There is a chance that any aftermarcket bulb will burn the connector. I myself just had to replace a connector from a CATZ bulb burning out.

PIAA bulbs are safe, I had those in my lights before...and yes you do need the 9006 for the low beams 9005 for the highs. I honestly wasn't impresed with my PIAA lights for the price I paid. I am must happier with silverstars..well at least til I order a new set of HIDs

I loved my catz, but they weren't DOT approved so they are no longer available in the states.

Silverstar has a new blub now. Supposed to be brighter

I tried a lot of blue or silver tint bulbs but nothing comes close to Sylvania Silverstars. The other bulbs that put out 90W and 100W have a shorter lifespan and they're bound to melt the stock harness.
