super white head lights

I currently have PIAA super white head lights. In the corner lights I have some generic super white zeon bulbs. I just did the mod to make my corner lights brighter, and I have to say it really makes a huge difference and only took 10 minutes, but now I am disapointed because the corner lights look really nice but they are about twice as bright as the PIAA's now, and a different color. The corners are a clear blueish tone (very nice!), whereas the PIAAs are lighter clear tone. Honestly I am very disapointed with this model of PIAA lights. They are not very bright at all and I have a hard time seeing with them even (except for the high beams are very bright, but I can't use those all the time anyway). Also during the day the color of the light is yellowish basically the same as stock. Yuck! For friggin 80$ these lights should be topnotch. I switched over from some cheap super whites (20$) I got off ebay, I am not sure of the name and I like the color of those lights a lot more then the PIAA's. the only reason I switched was because the ones off ebay burnt out way to quickly (5 months), and I read on here that the PIAA's last long and are VERY bright, and the closest thing to HID. Thats a bunch of BS. I am pretty sure if I had made the corner lights brighter when I had the old cheap super white bulbs, they would have matched perfectly with the head lights. Does anybody have any experience with a brand of these zeon bulbs that has a clear bluish color that is brighter then stock, and last longer?

No, people use the BlueVisions to see the road, not to look cool.

Why don't you jump on the X50 GD we got? Don't think it has a bluish tint to them, but they seem really bright, and great price too. Maybe you can get other corner lights instead? They're cheaper to replace than the PIAA's...

does piaa make bulbs for the corner lights and clear corners. I have the PIAA super whites. I don't like them very much for how much they cost.

Spray some WD40 on the ball joint.
Use a flathead with some cloth around it to gently pry the light out.
