I just ordered the PIAA's 19224 on Wednesday.....I can't remember who, but someone here on the message board suggested it to me. I saw pics of his care and they looked really good. I was concerned about it melting the housing, but he said he hasn't had any problems. When I get them in I will post pics.

Most people (including me) have noticed a "scorch" on the houseing directly above the bulb. Very small and only visible if you get down on your knees and look real hard. YMMV

just make sure, when you install them,wear latex gloves or something so as not to get the oil on your fingers onto the bulbs. you won't be very happy if you do. they'll bubble and get deformed. as far as the scorching on the upper portion right above the bulb, it's no big deal. your car won't catch fire....nothing to worry aboout. i've had the 19224 for about 6 months now and they're just doin fine.

Piaas are little bluer but the Polargs match better.....

WHAT HE SAID!!!!!! Do a search under my nick name!!! You will find at least 4 or 5 threads that I have talked about the lights!! I have PIAA 19224's bought them from wwwoptauto.com for $10 a pair!!! Scooter and I have done a ton of research on the subject of aftermarket lights!!!!!!!!! Both Polarg and PIAA.
