Fog/Driving light question- PIAA??
I have some cheap Pepboys special foglights on my car right now. I noticed tonight that the entire chrome colored housing that the bulb sits in that projects the light is melted/rusted away on one of them....I guess thats what you get for $45. Anyway, I want to get some GOOD foglights. Are PIAAs worth all the money you spend on them? Are they worth ~$200?? How are Pilots? I know they're like $80 or so. Are they any good? Anyone else have any other suggestions for brands to look at?? Thanks in advance.
ps. I want oval shaped ones, similar looking to this, not the little circle projector ones:

PIAA's are one of, if not THE BEST fog light manufacturers. :thumbup: PIAA (My opinion).
My friends have these and they're great: PIAA 1500
Those cheap crap you buy at stores don't come close or cut it.

How is the quality though? Are they made well? I'm more concerned with them being made of quality materials as compared to how bright they are.

On another note, looking online, Hella Foglights are like $60-$80s or so, while PIAAs are $160-$200+...are PIAAs that much better or are you paying for the name. Basically, are PIAAs worth what you spend on them?? I want to buy these foglights once and have them last me for the rest of the time I have the car...not have the same thing happen to me as with the ones I have now. Which ones are gonna last me???
