piaa xtreme white plus bulbs
i know this has been posted before but i cant seem to find it in search
someone posted about these bulbs in one of the halo bulb threads but i cant find it
can either someone direct me to the thread or post new pics for me? thanks
--
i wanna see the difference between these bulbs and the stock bulbs...so a pic with a stock bulb in one headlight and a piaa bulb in another headlight would help A LOT...thanks!
also...has anyone ever had any problems with these bulbs? like burning out or anything like that?
what other bulbs would you guys recommend without upgrading harnesses or anything? just plug and play

Are you talking about the headlight bulb, or the parking light?
Parking Light:
The headlight bulbs made by PIAA are the wrong size for our headlamp housing. The bulb is about an inch too long. They are brighter than stock, but dimmer, and not as white as Sylvania Silverstars.
Not worth the special order, or the price.

Well, they might have them at your local auto parts store. They don't out here.
Those are the right bulb sizes.
However, I'm serious--they aren't as bright or nice-looking as cheaper bulbs, and the bulbs are much larger than stock--they don't look or fit right in the headlight housing.
I ordered a set for hi-beams and lows, as an 'upgrade' from Silverstars. Sent them back to Cardomain for a refund when I found out they weren't even as bright as regular Silverstars.

Those are my partking lights, the small 194 size bulb in the headlight housing.
These are the headlights:
Looks purple, but they're more pure white. That's mostly the camera.
No problems yet, and I've had the same set in for about a year and a half. Just do not touch the bulb when installing. Use a paper towel or a rag to put the bulb in, so you don't touch the glass.
They're plug and play, same size as factory.
