THANKS Y2KevSE!!! Where do you recommend I purchase these?


Also, I did a little web search and now I'm not sure what H4's and H3's I want. Please give me some advice so I get the right color and brightness in PIAA's. First, I think the stock lights are pretty good, however I want to IMPROVE the visibility factor some. I also like the blue of HID's and not yellow look of stock. I've only seen the purple of Plasmas in your sig. and never in person, so I'm not sure whether purple or blue look better. I'm interested in making my car stand out around town(Plasmas work best, I think), but I also want to have IMPROVED low/high beams for highway travel(Super Whites, I'm pretty sure). So here is the information I've gathered so far. Is this correct?

1)PIAA Platinum Super White#15660(55/60W=100/110) = Brighter than stock output w/ White and a little blue color low/high beam. Color: 3800K

2)PIAA X-treme White#??(55/60W=125/135) = Brighter than above w/less blue and more white low/high beams. ???K

3)PIAA Super Plasma#?? = Purplish low beam and same color and intensity high beam as Super White. Color: 4300K

4)PIAA Plasma BLUE#??? = 5000K = more blue than ANY above according to rainbow color chart.

I'm not too sure about how the Plasma BLUE look? Is it more blue than purple? Are they more blue than Super Whites?

I know you don't have experience with ALL these, but any help or advice would be great.

Thanks again!

You're welcome. Just get the bulbs from a cheap place (I saw a link you posted... hitech-something-a-rather-lighting). The only two I've seen for H4's are #1 and #3, so I can only give my opinions on those two.

Thanks again! Where did you purchase your Plasmas? Which of these are your Plasmas?

1)Plasma FX: 5000K 55/60W -> 100/110W
2)Plasma XX Extreme: 5000K 55/60W -> 110/130W
3)Super Plasma : 5000K 55/60W -> 110/130W

Not sure what the difference is between 2) and 3).

I purchased the bulbs from a local shop here in San Fran. I have #3 and it has a purple hue to it. #1 is bluish because it has a lower temp rating. I believe it was around 4700K... where does it say 5000K?

#2, no clue...

All the information I posted is from here http://www.hitechimportlighting.com/piaa.htm. I emailed them asking them what differences are between the bulbs so maybe they can answer some of my questions. Have you had any bulbs burn out yet? I've read several peoples' complaints on the net about PIAA bulbs burning out in as little as 3-5 months. Thanks for the help!

Ohhh... interesting. The FX bulb I saw wasn't a 5000K rating. I took a look at their site and they mentioned 4500K/5000K. Does that mean 4500K for low beam and 5000K for high beam?
