PIAA Platinum's are a more higher intensity whiter light. They will make your factory bulbs look yellow in comparison. PIAA Plasma's are a combination of the high intensity white light with a blue tinge. They are comparable to H.I.D Xenon lamps that you see on high end cars like MB, BMW, Audi.

PIAA superwhites.



i had the plasmas... they don't give enough light. looks pretty, but again, not enough light. plus, if you have Polarg hyperwhites in the front clears, the contrast will make the clears look green. i'd say go for Superwhites. there's less light loss.

I'll post pictures when I put the Chromes back on the car. I've got the factory rims on now for the Connecticut winter. Come springtime they'll be back on.
