How are the PIAA headlights ?
i heard these headlights were really good. I'm thinking of getting PIAA Xtreme White Plus. If you guys own a pair of these, please give me you opinion here. thankss
I have Xtreme Whites for more than a year. They are brighter and whiter than stock ones, but it's still 9004 and there is a limit. I don't regret buying them and am satisfied, but that's because I just wanted to replace 9-year-old stock bulbs.

Couldn't have said it any better.
I have the 9007 Piaa Extreme Whites and they are very bright. There is a very slight hint of blue but its way more white than silverstars. You can't go wrong with them if you don't mind their high price.
its always between sylvania and piaa. I own piaa(xtreme white) on my fog lights and they are really bright and white, almost match the white on my 4300k hid's. its defently worth the money and they last really long as well.

I have to disagree completely. I have had both and still use the PIAA's because they are superior in wet weather and just as bright and white otherwise. Plus, they have lasted now for three years as opposed to the SS's that burned out very quickly. And, no, I never touch the bulbs when installing.
i had the SS on less then a month and they seemed very bright compared to my stockers, but when i put in the HIDS now that's a completely different story..
so i was just saying from what i saw they seemed very bright and resembled a little of an HID

i had PIAA and SS. I can not justify dropping the extra $40-$50 on PIAA's. You may notice the difference if you are outside the car. Otherwise its pointless.
Pick up the SS and go cheap. They work very well. SS i purchased have lasted over 2 years now. One PIAA bulb died in 3 years.

I ran 9006 xtreme whites and they are just too dime. Although the color of the light may appear whiter to your eyes, the brightness is decreased. Any increase in brightness is just your eyes fooling you. Upgrade with a 9007 or an auxilary HID system.
i had Sylvania Silverstars, and piaa ex whites, before gettign my hids. the silverstars did not last that long in my car, and teh fogs blew in a month and i had multiple sets of those. the piaas were whiter and lasted longer. honestky the best white bulb i ever used was from target. Lite glows, and i like those the bes over anything eles
