I am thinking of switching over to Piaa for my head light bulbs. I am looking for something brighter and better for night driving. Oh, and something nonblue or purple. If you are running the Piaa's how do you like them and what model of Piaa do you use?

Thanks

 

i DID run them , got them from options auto salon....60 plus shipping...

by far the BEST headlight bulbs out there....super white HID brightness NO RICEY BLUE COLOR. but then 1/2 a year after, one broke, probaably because I hit a hard bump in the road....LOL....I still have both of them in my cabinet i want to buy another pair, but thats hard to do when you have NO JOB....

anyways, get them if you can, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!

 

here yo gom price has gone up 8bucks but still worth it...

i hate copying and pasting with laptop....LMAO..

 

Thanks man! I can get them from my local shop for $58 so I will order it through them. And did you have the Xtreme or Xtreme whites?

 

xtreme whites my man.

the regular look blue i think...

and when you get em, dont be afraid of the bluish tint, they dont shine blue at all!

all white....in fact i had many people flashing me they were so bright!

 

Awesome! I was wondering about the blue tint cause I saw a pic of them on Piaa's site. :D I appreciate the help.

 

They're overrated. They are not brighter than stock, but they look whiter. If you're into performance and not rice, get some Osram Silverstar +50% bulbs from suvlights.com. They will blow the PIAAs away.

 

Everyone I talk to with Silverstars say they don't last long at all though.

I had the PIAA bulb, and it only lasted for 3 months and one burned out. If you want better lighting I suggest you go with real hids.

Osram Silverstars or Sylavnia Silverstars? The Sylvania ones are different. The Osrams aren't DOT legal here, so they're hard to find.

 

Any idea where to get them from?

My bad! Thanks man.

 

no problems with the Sylvania Silverstars here on my EP.

PIAAs blow....literally - usually 6 months or less, some manage to stretch it to a year. But pretty much most aftermarket bulbs that burn brighter and/or whiter run hotter than a typical OEM bulb and will burn out faster. Of course, YMMV. Personally, I'd save up and get HIDs instead.

 

I have Sylvania Silverstars in my car. "Whiter" light certainly, but obviously doesn't correct the horrible stock beam pattern.

 

OK, I just jinxed myself! One of my Silverstars blew out last night!!

That sucks Victor!

I don't know what I am going with yet. I might even grab a factory fog light kit to help light the way for now.

 

every single aftermarket light i've gone with on my dc5 has blown wihin six months. most come with warranties but it sucks *** having to change the focker out every time one blows. imo i would save and get some hids. i did and there is no comparison to hids. if i was to ever get another car it would either a) come with hids or b) i would put on an aftermarket kit.

 

I have the factory driving light kit for my EP, but have decided not to install it. I'm going with the JDM bumpers, so the US kit won't fit. Iinterested?

I've been using PIAA Super White 60/55W for 3.5 years on my 00 SI. They give a nice clear light. I was lucky enough to get them for $40..

 

Sorry Victor, they would not fit my OEM opening on my 2001.

for some reason those lights work well on b-series cars. from what i've read the k-series have volt spikes which can cause the bulbs to blow.
