I am loving my PIAAs. I have those same ones, except the driving version. I have had them for over 2 years w/o any problems. Except for the covers getting stolen last week. BTW, which are you going for, fog or driving, b/c you posted one of each.?.

I had the piaa driving lights for a while. I was happy with them except the housing started to rust, so I had them replaced under warranty and then sold them. I now own a pair of lightforce 170s that I haven't even put on the truck yet.

Like AUJWE said. Are you looking to install fog or driving lights? They're 2 absolutely different animals with different purposes.

I'm sorry I posted the wrong PIAA 520. The same model comes in a driving light as well.

Interesting that the Rallye 3000 says "HELLA" on it... I didn't know that.

my hella 500's say "hella" too.

I love the look of those PIAA's, but I can't justify $150+ for LIGHTS! that's just nuts to me! my hella's work awesome, and were only $50 shipped! I coulda got 6 lights for your 2!

I know it has been covered at some point, but i was a little dissapointed with the plastic rock guards. However, they work fine. As far as lighting i love mine, 4 driving and 2 fogs. I hope to have a set of 510 fogs and 550s soon to replace my lower driving lights an add some lower fog lights with the 510's.
