Default JDM OEM HID vs. Halogen PIAA bulbs...
me and underrated99si decided to head up to a completely pitch black "mountain/hill" to see the difference between oem HID and PIAA halogen bulbs. these pics were using a 3.0 megapix camera set on night mode, no flash, 15 second shutter blah blah blah, the pix speak for themselves...

Chris's PIAA bulbs on his Si/R



Shot of the headlight



My JDM OEM hid on the ground



Pic of my headlight



Pic of the ground with both lights on



cars side by side head on




i in no way made any pic of my car or chris car seem better than one another, i just took the pics of both lights, displaying on the ground and strait on both using 15 second shutter. the difference is night and day.

that's a nice picture, but in reality the color of his lights aren't blue, like in your pics, they're purple and the exact color of the ones in my photo, neverthless, his lights look good....

All the philip's I have seen sure don't look like that. It could be the camera though.
