I tried the PIAA extreme white in my 1999 9-3, my conclusion, extreme overpriced JUNK!!! I found the quality of light to be worst then stock 55/65 bulbs and to make matters worst one of them burned out after 5 weeks!!! In the end I used Hella 55/100 (overwattage Hi beam) H4 bulbs and they worked well for me. No issues with 100w Hi Beam. I live in cool climate and the extra heat from 100 watts probably not an issue given average ambient temps at night of about 5 Degrees Celcuis. My new 9-5 has Xenons so swapping bulbs is not an issue. You might want to give the Hella +50 xenon bulbs a try , they come in H7 size. You can get then at http://www.rallylights.com. I am considering getting them to wire into the additional halogen lamps on my 9-5 to supplement the Xenons, aka European configeration.
