I finally got a chance to install my most recent buy of the PIAA bulbs, and I have to say the PIAA Super Plasmas are fugly. I mean it. I thought thye would be better than what they were, but theyre more purple than blue!!!! anybody else recognise this? Im taking them back tomorrow, any suggestions on a set of PIAA's that will fit my taste?

thanx

 

super plasma = purple hid look
i like that color
for blue ones
get platinum or get some koito white beams

 

Hehe... haven't you checked out the pictures posted by many of us? They're even in my sig...

 

yes i checked out all the pics, and constantly looked back and forth at yours, but they seemed bright white, definately not purple. im gonna trade them in for some Plasma FX bulbs. they are the blue tint.

P.S. no disrespect to those who already have them, Im just not a purple kinda guy, lol

 

Wow, they really look purple? I'm glad I know now. I too want the blue effect. Piaa platinum's will do this efficiently?

 

I had a set what i don't like about them they are not as brite as stock lamps. go with Platmium super whites

 

I've seen the Plasma FX bulbs... they are a lower temp rating than the Plasmas, which should make them more blue because of the ROYGBIV thingy.

Also, the light output for those are lower than the Plasmas. I was going to buy a pair and try them out when I was in Hong Kong, but decided not to because of the lower color range and output.

...just wanted to give you a heads up before you buy the new set.

 

I am the most frugal person out there. SO i was curious, does anyone know where i could get the PIAA PLASMA's for cheaper than 70 dollars. I am in the NY/NJ area, maybe there is a shop, or even an online store. Carparts.com doesn't carry them anymore.

WEll i just want them for dirt cheap. Right now i am driving round with 1 stock headlight and 1 piaa platinum. FUGLY!!

The 80 watt bulb blew?

 

well people are telling it burnt out because of the cold extreme weather. Regardless, it blew and now i am driving round with 1 stock , 1 platinum.
But it is all good, now i have motivation to get a job and buy alot of stuff for my car, starting with PLASMAs.
But anyway, who knows where can i get PLASMAs for under 70 dollars. any deals out there?

check ebay you can usually get a new set on there for about $50...do a search for "piaa h4"

 

Well, The FX bulbs may be dimmer because of color, but they are rated at 5000K just as the super plasma's are rated at 5000K, I just prefer the blue look to purple.

ATTN radpp16!!!! If i cant get the dealer to take back my bulbs, ill sell them to you for 70 dollars. ill let ya know!

 

hmmmm never thought of that... Some people may prefer blue lights instead of an hid look.... I thought we were all goin for hid look... oh well

Why go for a HID look when you can get the real HID from me???

I think the color temp rating I saw was 4750... but I'm 99.99% sure it is lower. I don't remember what the URL of the site that had the FX bulbs (with pictures)...
