PIAA 520 ATP bulb replacement HELP
i run 2 sets of PIAA 520 ATPs on the rig, hood mounted and bumper mounted. Ive had a bulb go out and will replace both bulbs in the bumper lights at the same time. Is there an "upgrade" bulb to replace the stock ones that come with these PIAAs?

Your lights burned out a few months too late. I tossed a set of unused bulbs in the trash a while back because nobody here wanted them. Hurt to toss "$100" bulbs in the trash but no use for them.
I retrofitted mine to a VVME 55w HID kit, WAAAAY brighter. Actually too bright, I would go for the HID, but 35w unless you do serious in the middle of nowhere driving. Cheaper too!
If the DDM kits have a "short base" bulb, get that kit. The PIAA bulbs are not standard (I don't think) and I had to cut the glass around the HID bulb to get it to fit, and rewire the base right under the bulb. Doable, but probably more of a project than a lot of people would want to undertake.
