Alot of them look the same, I wouldnt waste that much money on them. I bought Bomz 5000k H4 bulbs on my TL, and a lot of people thought I had HIDs. I spent $15 total w/ shipping on ebay.

installed today, The GTX is brighter but purplish, but the spark blue is more of bluish. PIAA claims it's capable of releasing 7500K HID-Look brightness.

I personally think it's bull****, the PIAA Plasma-GTX is still a better choice.

i've seen them personally....they look nice and blue, but because they are halogen-they are EXTREMELY colored.....meaning ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT OUTPUT....

i mean NONE...the light extends maybe 6" if you're lucky past the bumper

They are wrong. THe stock HID has 4300k and is white not yellow in their opinion. I bought Piaa Xtreme Whire fogs and they are 4150k yet have a slight yellowish tint. They are wrong
