PIAA 520 Chrome 6" Offroad Ion Crystal Fog Lights

jr.parrish · March 13, 2003

I bought these for my truck only a few months ago. They are really in excellent shape both mechanically and physically. The only flaw I can find is a small break on one of the chrome plated grids. I didn't even see the break when I was taking the lamps off, and still didn't see it until my friend pointed it out (basically no one would be able to notice unless they were really examing the lamps. )

They are extremely powerful 85 Watt lamps, with an excellent amber fog beam pattern, and look awesome at night. I will also include the PIAA wiring and PIAA Switch, and the install is very simple. I also have a brand new aftermarket remote that I can sell for cheap so you can avoid most of the wiring.

I paid over $300 only a few months ago, asking $200.

• Stamped steel housing with a show quality chrome plating that exceeds SAE durability and corrosion standards

• Chrome plated grid type lens cover that offers additional lens protection while enhancing appearance

• Fog/Foul weather lamps penetrate rain, fog, dust, and snow without bouncing back into the driver's eyes or offending oncoming traffic

• Ion Crystal™ Lenses , a purple lens coating that transforms white light to amber with no loss of candle power

• Pre-assembles wiring includes lighted switch & relay, providing an easy plug-in installation "

The lamps I have for sale are two of the one on the left of this picture.

Here is a pic of them on my truck:

Anyone? Maybe we can work something out. Make me an offer.

Why you selling everything?? Any pics of the disc changer installed?? I wouldn't know where to even hide that thing. Too bad they don't have Bull Bars out for the 03 GMC HD's yet. I would be interested in the lights.

If anybody is interested in this stuff, I would trust this guy and his description of the stuff. I bought some taillights from him and he did a fantastic job packaging them for shipment.

kshuart- I'm glad you were pleased with the packaging of the 03 Silverado Tails, and BTW, I really think they look killer on your truck.

I'm just trying to sell the lights and the changer because I don't really use either. As far as the bull bar, you could possibly bolt it to the tow hooks or modify the supplied brackets, but it would most likely entail more work than its worth.

I need to get a new digital camera, so I don't have any pics of my changer installed, but I did borrow a few pics from Tom's (MountaineerTom 99Z71 - hope he doesn't mind) website of his install with a different changer.

Under the Rear Seat (Where I have mine)

Controls in Overhead Console (I never actually did this even though I wanted to, I just mounted the controls on the dash.)

Changer Mounted in the Console (I didn't do this because I actually use my console to store alot of things. My changer will fit in the 99-02 consoles, but I'm not sure about the 03's, since the console in our 03 Denali seems smaller)

If you still have them for sale and are willing to part with the front push bar you have them mounted to I will give ya 200 bucks for everything, kit, switch, wiring, remote and grill.

Let me know what you think JR

Thanks for the offer. If I understand what your saying, you're offering $200 for both the complete PIAA set, which includes the lights, wiring, and the switch, and the Westin Chrome Bull Bar.

I'm going to have to turn that down given the cost of these items. These links should illustrate the cost of these items new, which both the Bull Bar and lights are very close to.

Westin Bull Bar - StylinConcepts.com

So thats $310 for the lights, and $349 (not including S/H and this is a bulky item) for the Bull Bar, which comes to $660. Given that, I have to turn your offer down, but thanks anyway.

Wasn't trying to dis-respect you or anything, thought maybe you "REALLY" needed to get rid of them and were looking for the money. All in all it's a good deal the 600 bucks, however I really don't need the Westin Bar, as I'm going to replace the factory fog lights with PIAA's and also the factory air dam with a new one that will accept Round lights, so really all I need are the lights, however I can get them brand new for 200 bucks from a dealer in Kansas.

Thanks anyway......
