Well done Dave - glad you got a result. It's a shame you had to go this far, but if companies won't listen...
As Dr Hu as hinted at - I hope we aren't reading this again in 3 months time...

Dave (and anyone else with PIAA's),
Glad you got it sorted (for now...)
Am I right in thinking that usually PIAA's are mounted to the Front Bumper/Spolier assembly (the plastic bit) by the three bolts that you can see just behind the units? Am I also right in thinking that a lot of the blown bulbs is attributed to the fact that when mounted like this the bulbs are prone to a lot of vibration and therefore give up the ghost much quicker than they should?
If this is the case then let me know 'cos I think that I may have an idea which may help prolong bulb life....
Ta,
Matt.

Strange...my PIAA's in the MY98 lasted without trouble for 18 months! None of them blew...that was PIAA bulbs in the headlights and also the PIAA driving light spot light conversion 
Also fitted PIAA Ice Whites to the P1 last June...again...(touching wood) no problems at al
Just my 22.5 pence worth
