i saw some 5000K output blubs on ebay for like $34 bucks for both the fog and headlights....the PIAA Xtremewhite's are 4500K output...so i would assume the one's on ebay are whiter then PIAA and cheaper...

I saw those on ebay too. Do they look good? Nice and white? And you say they are brighter but how is the output on the road, can you see the same as stock, better or worse?

The PIAA xtreme white headlight bulbs are actually 4150k the fogs are 4200k. I have them both and the headlights still look yellowish.

Let me know about the koba's, if they light up the road enough I may try them.

Thanks

Koba's may be brighter initallly, but only in the beginning, while the filiment is new. I have done ALOT of research on the subject of lighting. PIAA Xtreme whites are very good, but not really worth the money anymore with the Sylvania SilverStars compeeting. My advice to you would be get the SilverStars, I don't remember the color, maybe 4800°K.

I've heard those aren't much better than stock and night vision isn't great either. I've never tried them though. As far as light output, how do they compare with the PIAA's? If they are whiter that would be sweet (if its 4800k it should be) be I still want to be able to see some.

Thanks
