View Full Version : FREE SET OF PIAA 9007'S!!!! And the winner is...

Hey all, to "ring in" the new Performance Lighting forum (moderated by yours truly) I'm going to give out a FREE set of PIAA 9007 Superwhite headlights to one lucky person! You may all remember the free set of PIAA 9004's given out a few months back, same rules apply. The only thing is you must own a 95-current Explorer. Anyone with 91-94 Explorer's, sorry but these won't work in your Explorer. the 9004 is designed for the 91-94 explorers.

To those who aren't familiar with the PIAA 9007 Superwhite headlight replacement bulbs, they use the stock connection, stock wiring and so forth, and uses the stock wattage (55w/65w) to produce the output of a similar 100/110 watt bulb. The light produced by these lights is also much whiter and allows you to see much clearer. Pretty much the results I've heard have been good, I have them in my own Explorer and was definately impressed with the results! They don't take long to install, mine took about 15 minutes and most of that was spent removing the battery (you may or may not have to do this, I don't recall how much space you have in a 95-current Explorer), regardless, its as easy as installed a regular headlight bulb. They are 50 state street legal, and are DOT (Department of Transportation) approved and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) certified. They are one of the only aftermarket higher-output headlight bulbs that are 50-state legal because they DO produce more light without blinding oncoming traffic, and without taking other colors out of the spectrum.

Anyways, these guys normally retail for around $70, but here's yoru chance to get em for nothing... I'll even cover shipping.

So how do I win these lights? you might be asking. It's easy... respond to THIS THREAD with your name, and your e-mail address (if your comfortable with that... if not don't worry about it, I'll figure out a way to contact you...). Last time it was open for 2 weeks, this time I'll expand it to three as a few people complained they didn't have time to get in last time... so respond to this thread by October 11, 2000 for yoru chance to win. I'll toss all the names into a hat and pick one at random.

By the way, congratulations to NewBZ for winning the set of PIAA 9004 superwhite bulbs.

I don't want to be a pain in the butt with this request, but there must be a better way to do reach people without exposing our names & email addresses to a future of spam. there are unscrupulous types who sweep forums like this for names & email addresses.. and sell the lists.. next thing you know we'll all start getting MORE junk email/porn/high interest loan offers, etc.)

hey, someone asked where'd buy em if eh didn't win... pretty much any place that sells real lights :). By that I mean you won't find them at Pep Boys or Checker, but you will find them at most four-wheeling stories, performance automotive stores, etc. To find a retailer in your area, go here: http://piaa.idealerquik.com/custinfo.asp note that the only information on that page you have to giveis your phone number.
Anyways, heres what your looking for:

Are we checking IP's to make sure no one is registering under a new name and attempting more than one chance at the lights? Not pointing any fingers or saying that anyone at this site would, but I just want to keep it fair and honest.

I figure someone might try that, it wouldn't be very cool but that'd be an awful lot of work for Rick to compare... plus most users on ISP's have IP's that change every time they log on, so you could track it down to the ISP, but what if three people use the same ISP? AOL especially, yikes! ANyways, please don't cheat, there just headlights, LOL.

Andrew, sorry, but autobulbdepot.com is incorrect if they say the 93-94 takes the 9007... the 91-94 take the 9004 and not the 9007. The 9004 and 9007 are similar, but not similar enough that you'd want to try to hook up 9007's to a 9004 connection...

ok, the names have been typed up in Excel, sized exactly the same, printed out, and cut into individual pieces of paper. A total of 91 names have been placed in the hat (so your chances are still better then winning the lottery). Those pieces have been placed in a hat, and the winner has been chosen.
drumroll please! ... drum rolling ...
And the winner is.... Sirchivalry. Congrats Sirchivalry, I'll send you a PM on what to do now. For the rest of you, sorry, but I could only choose one :). Just remember if you still want to get a set of these lights, you can buy them anywhere that sells real lights (well, for the most part).
