when your PIAAs burned out did both high and lo beams go or just one?

Well, it finaly happened, looks like on of my superplasmas burned out. It lasted just a little more than one year, honestly I expected more.

Now the questions:
When one of you bulbs burned out did one filament go or both, if both are suppose to go it could be that my bulb didn't die and it's just a loose connection (unlikely but I still hope)

And the other question: I planned to get Xtreme Whites whe my plasmas burned out so does anyone know who has them cheap right now?

Thanks in advance.

usually one goes..

however always make sure that you wipe down the bulbs with alcohol before you install the bulbs.. oils from your fingers and skin will shorten the lifes of the bulbs..
