I went with the cheap route and purchases some ebay KOBA H3 bulbs for my fog lights. The install was fairly easy once I figured out how to get the clips back on. These pictures do not do justice to show a big difference. I like the change alot. I plan on getting a comparison tonight with the Koba bulbs versus PIAA.

I just hope they last a while. All in all I am happy for my $15 purchase.

 

Cheap ba$tard! We'll be comparing with my newly-arrived PIAAs tonight!!

 

Baller on a Budget.

 

More like "it's easier to slip past the wife".

 

KOBA? Is that that knock off brand they sell on ebay comparing them to the PIAA Extreme Whites? Anyway, I can get a pair of those PIAAs for around 35 a pair.

 

Yes, it is a knock off. Does that 35 include shipping? My $15 included shipping. I am not saying Koba is a better alternative, just a cheaper alternative.

 

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you there. I know what you're saying about it being cheaper. And I can get PIAAs locally from a friend who works at a shop.

 

No offense taken at all. I bought them more as a temporary solution for now. I also wanted to see how they stacked up to PIAA. I will find out for sure tonight and will post pics tomorrow.

 

hey guapsnaman .. hook it up with the piaa xtreme whites... i'm in need of some new fog bulbs... hit me up with a PM if u can.. if not, it's koo

 

Same here guapsnaman, hook me up. PM with details. thanks

 

They match the HIDs very well.

 

I love mine as well!

 

but how long do they usually last (piaa)
thanks

 

I got my Piaa Xtreme White H3 for $45. Can you get some Piaa Xteme White 9005? PM me and let me know.

 

I'm looking for some PIAA Xtreme White H4's... any idea on a price for these? thanks

 

Just an FYI...the high beams in my pick ARE the PIAA Xtreme White 9005s

I don't know why they are yellow compared to the H3 fogs, but they are

They are brigter and whiter than the stock ones though

 

Here is the comparison pics: Clicky

That will be SLOW load if you are on dial up. Camera didn't really do much justice, but you get the basic idea.

 

Here is the picture. I linked it in the thread. The one on the left is PIAA, the right is Koba.

 

the Piaa super plasmas are a better match than the Xtreme whites for HID closeness

 

The Koba's on the right look a lil less brighter and more yellow then the Piaa's

 

Great pics!! That hepls out alot. I am getting Koba 9005s in the mail today I will let you know how they look too.

NT2SHBBY, Do you have any proble w/ the plasma piaas burning out? I think I have seen a couple people say they dont last too long.

 

yeah, but nice pics..its close, but the PIAAs look whiter..

 

But the question is, do they look $20-$30 whiter? I do agree that they look great. t56gen3s were almost too bright IMO. When he first pulled up, I nad to kinda look away. I do like the PIAAs alot.
