if that's the look that your going for and you know that the film will work then go for it. My personal opinion is that i like the fogs to match up to the HID's as close as possible. I dont like the yellow look. I would just stick with the PIAA Xtremes, but everyone has their own opinion.

Looks good


I love my yellow PIAA IRON CRYSTALS. I noticed most of the PIAA H3's projects more light on the road compare to stock...they make such a difference.

Pmas, one suggestion, next time try not to let the H3 bulbs touch anything, not even the cloth you had on the groun to take the pics. It can pick up grease from there which will shorten the life of them expensive azz bulbs.

thanks for the heads up...good thing i really didnt touch the bulb itself. the only thing they touch was that yellow pillow in the pics. why is so bad to have it touch $hit? is it because static and cr@p like that?

I got plenty of practice handling bulbs working in A/V for a few years. Basically, the glass envelope on the bulbs is pretty delicate. Any foreign items on them will create heat and damage the envelope. Once any amount of air gets to the inert gases in the bulb, the bulb blows.

www.optauto.com has the best prices I think. I've got a few pics of my ion crystals and Xtreme white headlights on my homepage.
