For the reverse light, PIAA 7440. 27W vs 21W stock. Very nice white, huge difference, quick install.

I've been using the regular Bosch Micro Edge's on my car for about 2 months now. They work pretty well and were much better than those stock wipers that came on my car. I imagine that the Micro Edge Excel's are good products, considering the good track record I've had with Bosch wipers on my previous vehicle.

When did the the Excel's come out? I bought my Bosch blades at the Nashua, NH autozone on Daniel Webster and didn't see the Excel's there. Let me know where you've found them, as I might pick up a pair when my current ones kick the crapper.

Looks like Autozone is stocking the Excel's now. Or at least their online store is. They're a little more expensive than the regular Micro Edge's were: the right side Excel blade is $9.99, the left side is $16.99. That's about $7 more total than what I think I ended up paying for the regular Bosch ones. What remains to be said is if they do $7 better of a job and last that much longer.

I have those Ultra Silblades.

http://www.silblade.com/

They work good.

For lights, the 03 tails make the backup lights alot brighter.

It's time for new ones..

Sieble and PIAA are very expensive proposals...

2 Ultra SilBlade are for $44 (shipped): $22.00 each
PIAA... would be $18 + $25 = $43 plus shipping...

Bosh would cost $26 for both....

I think I am ordering the Ultra SilBlade... it has 5 year warranty... How about Crabon Fiber Frame and black blade?

I have the PIAA wiper blades, but they are not installed yet. It hasn't started raining yet, but I will put them on soon. I have heard nothing but GREAT things about them. Options Auto Salon carries them as well!!
