PIAA bulbs

I remember reading a post recently about someone not being able to find clearance bulbs (1157) to match their plasma head lights. I have PIAA Platinum super white head lights. They arent as blue as some, but they are a very appealing light light purplish, more bright white. Their nice, anyway today I found PIAA Platinum Super white wedge bulbs, H3's for the fogs, and 1157's for the corners. Now ALL my lights look exactly the same and are bright as hell. Dont know who was looking for the solution, but I figured Id help them out.

I found them at Auto Barn. They had all the bulbs (9004, H3, 1157, & Wedge). The 9004's were $70/pair, the 1157's were $23/pair I think, the H3 were $24 each, and the Wedge's were $14/pair. I dont know how the 1157's look if you dont have them rewired to run on the higher Watts, but if you do, all the bulbs match perfectly.

hmm my PolarG hyper whites match my Piaa headlights perfectly too.
I think for the money the PIAA 9004 headlights are the best you can get besides HID of course

The PIAA XTreme White bulbs are better than the Polargs, which are more green than white.

what about just WHITE clearence lights?

I bought some immitation Blue Vision-like Hyper Whites, they look good but they are not too bright, probably just as bright as the stock lights But still, the stock clearence lights suck and they don't come close to matching obviously. Where can I get some WHITE clearence lights? my headlights have no blue or green in them, they are just white.

Re: what about just WHITE clearence lights?

the PIAA Superwhites suck, don't get them if you want white headlights, they're a lot whiter than stock, but i have some PIAA Xtreme White H3's, and the headlights don't even come close. with higer wattage the 1157 are white, but the Xtreme white 168 wedge bulbs look bluish against the 1157 and the H3. my recommendation is to get the PIAA 1157 and the H3's, but to look somewhere else for 9004's and 168/194's
