Piaa's, if they are stock wattage that means they take in 55 watts and put out 55 watts, then u'll be fine. However, if they are 55 watts and put out 100 watts, i DO NOT RECOMMEND getting it. The higher watts will burn something out, whether it be the film or ur wiring. Just stick to oem wattage bulbs and get some films.
OH btw i have both the yellow and clear precut films for the 09. let me know if u want a set. For the precut pieces, it's $10 shipped. cheaper then ANYBODY.

He is right, he bought the films from me and i have them precut to leave a 2cm gap along the edge to allow the heat to escape. With my technique, it doesn't burn. I've had mine with stock bulbs (as well as yellow bulbs but i put em back to stock) for 2 years now, no burning.
