I Installed the PIAA 19169 5W road lamps this weekend. There's no light difference that I can tell. But i'm so happy these bulbs are more white now. The stock lamps were so dim, & yellow looking. Also the procedure to take the road lamp housing off in the manual is the only way. I got the housing's out & was finished in minutes. Easy.

Yes I agree, it’s purely cosmetic.

I have the 19169’s as well and they make the front end look sooooo much better by matching the Xenon’s.

No extra light though.

Where did you get them from? Can I get them from any local auto part shops? If you order them off the web, please give me a link. Thanks. I hope to install some soon.

if u guys like the 19169's, give the 19224's a shot...$15...granted, u're gonna burn the housing 6 months down the line, but u can clean it off with your fingers...AND the lights actually serve a purpose since they're so bright.

That's exactly why I didn't get any other higher wattage. My car is leased, & I use my lights all the time. I didn't want to deal with that.

Where's that third plastic rivot thing? I can't find the damn thing... I found two...

You don't really need to take out the third one (farther away)
cuz the molding will bend/flex and you and reach in there.

And its a bitch to get those rivots out anyway so two is enough

Have u actually had ur housing burn out? I took out my raodlamps last week and i examined the housings to find theres a s small scroch mark at the upper part of the casing consistent with the side of the bulb. It's not something that is going to melt the whole housing, you are really blowing this outta proportion.

ok have u been alive the past 4 months????

we have talked about this at such lengths, it's prob 2nd to the tranny issues...if u don't have a burnt housing, props to u...everyone else here has had them/will have them if they continue to use M6's/PIAA 19224's...y?? b/c they're more than 3 times as powerful a light as the stock 5watt light, which means they're gonna produce a crap-load more of heat...if u don't drive all that much at night, the housing will burn at a slower pace...SPECIFICALLY, u WILL see almost like a melting of the inside lining of the housing...it will b discolored, and it will b circular in shape...look at the top of the inside part of the housing...but fear not, for if u have thin fingers, u can reach in and rub out a lot of the stain that will b there...u'll see some leftover discoloration, tho, but it's not THAT bad...so no, i respectfully disagree that i'm blowing this out of proportion...when i get my digicam, i'll take some snapshots of an old housing i recently replaced that has the stains (this old housing had the 19224's for approximately 6 months).

I got my lights off of ebay. Do a search for Piaa in automotive. You will find them.
Also I don't understand why anyone would want to mess with rivits & squeezing there hand under the bumper to change the bulb. The road lamps came off really easy by following the maunal's instructions. That's using a long phillips head screwdriver sticking it in the hole at the coner of the housing in the grill, & unscrewing it. After that the housing just popped out. It took only 2 minutes to complete the whole job.
