Good Recommendations on Headlight Bulbs?

One of my Piaa Superwhites in my headlights blew out and was wondering what good alternatives are there besides buying the Piaas again ($80/pair)? I have the Piaa Platinum Superwhites in my fogs and would like the headlights/fogs to match to some degree. Not looking to spend too much, less than $45/pair and they actually do have to light up the road!!

Opinions on Silverstars? Narvas?

Good luck on a match. Silverstars dont last long, look stock, and aren't a good choice....so thats the word. I have Liteformz 9004 and they work great for the $14 I spent on them.

if you really like superwhites, i'll sell you mine for a good price. i've had them for about a year, but out of that year they were installed no more than 3 months total. honestly, i just don't like the color.

I'm gonna have to disagree on that one. I swear by silverstars. I use them in my old max, this one and my dad uses them in his.

All I have ever used is Nokya Artic White bulbs. They are great and will only run you about $25-30. They have a good blue tint to them. But if you are looking for more of a white look then don't go with them because they look blue on the street. If you want white I have heard PIAA has some nice looking bulbs.

How long did they last you....I know first hand they have terrible reliability. I myself love the color, not the price.

I picked up a pair of Silverstars and they are quite nice in good night time weather but once it rains your sol.

They emit a nice white beam, with no blue at all. plus at 20$ each, they wont put a large dent in your pocket like HID setups.

Sylvania OEM Halogen 9004 Bulb . . . no rice whites that burn out the harness for me. But to each his own.
