Not true, you can get Denso double platinum for $5 at Autozone. Iridium is 2 or 3 times that.

This is the best read up.

Iridium is cheaper needs to be changed more often though due to the fuel corroding iridium
Platinum last longer but cost more.

I went with iridium because I plan on replacing them early anyways so the added life and increased cost weren't for me

I don't see how fuel is corroding iridium, it's literally the most corrosion resistant metal on the periodic table.

I like NGK but Denso has been good to me, no issues stage 1 or K04. Just saying, you have options. I wouldn't buy Autolite or whatever the cheapest plugs are.

Not the irdium part per say.

HS tuning on Platinum vs Iridium

"The primary difference is the price. The iridium plugs are cheaper than their platinum counterparts, and not without reason. Each spark plug has two electrodes, a firing electrode and a ground electrode. In the iridium plugs, the firing electrode is iridium plated, while the ground electrode is still bare copper. NGK’s double platinum plugs are platinum plated on both electrodes. What this means is the iridium plugs, while longer lasting than the bare copper, also suffer from a reduced lifespan when used in a direct injection application. Only the platinum plugs can offer reliable long life service in FSI and TSI engines."

What's the best way to go about getting HID lights without getting new headlights? Love the look of white lights at night and was hoping there is a cheaper way than buying brand new headlights. Is there a kit/bulbs that I can install without worrying about codes or using a resistor?

Ah ya, didn't really think of that...I just ended up pulling over into a parking lot, turned the engine off for a few seconds and cranked it back over and the beeping was gone. I think my car's mad at me.
