Hey guys, Im thinking of buying PIAA lights for my civic. I tried the Sylvania silverstar and cool blue and it wasnt what i was expecting. For the silverstar, it was a bit yellowish.. probably light yellow. I didnt give the pure white look. And for the cool blue, it was even worse. Also, when i installed the cool blue to my highbeam/DRL, i was expecting the DRL be blue or whitish, but it turned out to be yellow. Probably because it was receiving lower power when in DRL mode.
So i was thinking of buying the PIAA, since i heard that it is the closest to HID lamps. Any of u guys have PIAA on their civics can tell me if PIAA is worth the money? Does it really give white lights? And, if in DRL mode, is it still yellow, or white?
I hope u guys can help me on this cuz i grew frustrated changing the bulbs 4 times, til the plastic lock's hook of the fender broke off a bit.

 

What type of light is the DRL lights? Im trying to replace my DRLs with a blueish bulb. Whats the id number for it?

 

PIAA Xtreme Platinum white look great, the DRL are still yellowish until u turn on your brights and they r 9005

 

Oh, the DRL is still yellowish? how bout the blue ones? will it compensate and make it whiter?

 

Get the Osram silver stars, not the Sylvania ones. They are very very bright, that's probably why they do not sell them in the US.

 

Ok thanks for the help guys!

 

Watch changing those bulbs. Before you screw something up, we have seen multiple switches and wiring harnesses melted from these bulbs!
