Well its been about 2 month since I installed the bulbs and so far so good. They still shine like new. I think I might pick some up for the Pathy. Not a bad purchase for the $$$.

Have you installed them yet?
Yeah, they're in there. Not bad...I dont think they're 80% brighter but I do see a difference. After the headlight restoration and new bulbs, it's like new again. I'm good.
I did a 3M Headlight Restoration Kit on the wifes Max and was totally impressed with the outcome. Now I wish I would have taken before and after pictures to really show everyone how well this works on old plastic headlights. Now all I need is to put the new bulbs in a its all good. For $25, cant go ...
Just ordered a set from eBay. Hard to find here in the states or they're marked up some. Amazon shows a place that has them $22.50 but I couldnt find the "Buy" button. I just went to eBay instead. I noticed they have a different packaging than NVSteves picture. I'll post when I get them to...

I use about the same procedure as most of you guys but I use my leaf blower to blow off most of the water out. I gotta improvise being that I dont have an air compressor.
What do they mean "for best performance"? Spark knocking? Sluggish performance? What "might" happen if a lower grade is used? Exactly that, best performance. When using premium fuel, the CPU wont retard the timing so much to avoid knocking therefore getting the most performance ...
I've had the PIAA's on previous vehicles and loved them. You have to clean and wipe this Rain-X type film on your windshield. The blades are silicone and seem to work better than rubber when used with the chemical film you have to apply. They seem to last longer also. I think I had a set last close ...
