A new addition to PIAA's stable of high performance bulbs is the Super Plasma GT-X. The new GT-X provides an exclusive purple low beam and an Xtreme White Plus high beam. And if that weren't enough, PIAA has added a purple colored topcoat giving the headlamp a purple look even when the lamp is turned off.

Here's some pictures of when i got em and a pic of them close up in the headlights

they dont come with brackets. will mine didnt anyways so i bought some brackets that fit my car and had method motor works in fresno (where i live) they modified the bracket a tad to make the seat sit at regular height just like the stock ones.

i like em. ive never sat in recaros or anything but i like these seats. Only problem i have is that im hella small and im like locked in. my other friend thats bigger then me was un comfortable because the sides were going up hes *** lol. Not really jk but he didnt like em that much. I took a trip from fresno to LA and they did good. Everyone that has sat in them that are regular size people say they feel good to them. Others that havetn sat in them diss em since they arent real.

And btw they havent faded on me and i got them last year sometime and my car sits in the sun when im at work
