What's the difference? I keep on seeing these Jap. brand H4 on ebay and wonder if there is any difference. Anybody know what is the wholesale price on PIAA H4/H3 Super Whites or H4 Plasma?

I belive the plasmas are the only bulbs piaa japan exports to the US. You can get them anywhere so they are nothing special... All the other piaas are mad in the us or mexico or somewhere i think..

The only difference I know of is not in the bulb itself, but rather the fact that they sell certain types over here and other types over there. Just like my Xtreme White H3's, they came from Japan cause they (PIAA) doesnt import them over to the USA for retail sale. Sux dont it? Just like they release music sooner in Europe and OZ.
