PIAA replacement bulbs

Anyone have PIAA extreme white plus bulbs? I'm considering them, and wanted some of your feedback before I buy. I dont want a bulb that too blue, that will give poor visibility in wet weather.. Its a known fact that Sylvania Silverstars are crap, nobody likes them. My vision isnt the greatest, and any improvement at night will greatly help over oem bulbs.

hehe.....nah, my glasses work just fine, my eyes get examed every year, thanks for your concern, Its just that my night vision would be better with a higher performance bulb. I dont want a bulb that just looks cool, but perform well. What kind of bubls are you running? any photos of them?

Is there a big difference in the PIAA extreme whites and the silverstars?

I want that "WHITER" look for the headlights than stock and the silverstars...

I rin PIAA Xtreme Whites in both my headlights and foglights. I love them both! They do not cast any hint of blue and are very white IMO. I used the Silverstars for a while before and they suck on wet roads. I think you would be satisfied with the PIAA's.

im running PIAA Extremes in all my lights up front (headlight,corner, marker) and a set of aftermarket PIAA Extreme fogs...

i love them all, completely white light.

The fogs are amazing if you dont already have fogs and dont want to use the stock location.

GOOD LUCK!

I'm using PIAA Xtreme White and its has a nice white output. You can get a pair of 9004 for around $50 shipped on Ebay. I'd say that is the cheapest place I could find. I would also look into PIAA Spark Blue. They are abit expensive but from what I hear, they put out a nice color.

**** PIAA's, get some nice HID's for a clean white look. 4500k's would be nice.

how much are HID's (4500k) usually cost?

PIAA super whites are NOT as bright as PIAA Extreme whites right?
