How many watts is that?
Stock ones suck, and not only that, they burn out every 3 month.

The m6's look pretty much the same as the 19224s, and they're both 18w.

Can't you have heat or electric problems from 18watts?
After all the wiring to hoop up the road lamp was only desiged to carry 5 watts?
Does dealership approve this?

It's not that big a difference. Aside from 'some' reports of a little discoloration at the top of the bulb houseing, no heat problems or electric problems have been reported. YMMV

My dealership's never said a thing, they've probably never even noticed them.

Hi All,

Ages ago Scooter & I compared cars. I had M6's, Scooter had
19224's. They were pretty much the same in terms of brightness.
I had pics comparing them but I don't know what happened to those.

I've had both the M6 and the 19224's (before I gutted the damn foglight and put real fogs in...) I remember liking the color match a little better with the PIAA's.
