the only issue i can see if they are rated a lot higher in wattage then stock. this can lead to lots of current draw and actually melt the headlight wires. i had to deal with that "issue" on a customers eclipse. dumb ricers. lol. if they are rated same or about 20% above stock then youre fine.

post some pics ones its done.

You should be ok as long as they draw near what the stock bulbs would draw. IMO PIAA is over priced and not worth it.
