Yes....I am extreamely pleased with the PIAA 4100K H4 12v60/55w equals 135/125w. White, Wide beam ! You can get a twin pak for a little over $50.00.

Cheapest way is to pick up a upgraded bulb for $5 at Harbor Freight.

From forum posts there is an issue with them (and most upgraded bulbs) not lasting as long as the stock bulbs.

I love Piaa lights. But in all honesty, I don't think they are worth the price you have to pay for them. I tried them once in a truck and they only lasted 13 months. That seems ro be an issue with a lot of aftermarket "bright" lights. Silverstars were the same, with Silverstar IIs lasting only 3 months longer.

Just run a stock Halogen bulb or a HID H3 I think. Works for about 6 yrs $ 7.99 at the stealer.

I know that you said least expensive, but just look at the TL LED's. You can find them for around $250. There is a 3 year warranty on them. Look around ont he forums and you will see the customer satisfaction that goes with them.

One of the posts was a guy not happy with it and in less than a day, one of the forum members that works for the company posted on his thread and told him what he could do to make him happy. That is customer satisfaction to me.
