So I've been running PIAA for only about 2 months, and passenger side shattered yesterday. No idea how but when I got home it was all cracked. That is much longer than the Hellas lasted for me. I only got about 1 week on drivers side, and 2 weeks on the passenger side.   I'm going back to stock fogs after I order some new ones from Bill. I'll hopefully get warranty on the PIAA and then they won't be installed till maybe next summer when I have a beater, the car gets repainted and becomes a garage queen. Anyone ever get warranty on PIAA? Easy to deal with or just not worth it? I won't be able to send it out till I get a new one from Bill because I am not driving around with no fog in there.

I think alot of it depends on location. Looks like plenty of people can run aftermarket for a long time with no problems and others a few months. My car is a daily driver and I get to drive through downtown Hartford everyday. Not exactly good for my paint and lights.  My front bumper was repainted 1.5 years ago, and before SZ it was trashed so I got it done like 4 days before SZ.

Certainly is. If a rock is going to hit a foglight the PIAA will withstand a harder hit. At least they lasted longer than your previous ones.

He replaced his Hellas like 2 times already, and the new PIAA projectors rattle around too much and one burnt out.
I agree the stock fogs are not the nicest looking, but at least they won't break. I think 893 SilverStars in stock new fogs, and 4300k HID will do the job just fine for me.
