Which piaa h3 lights are the closest to our hid headlights?
Does anyone know which piaa h3 bulbs are the closest in color to our 02 maxima hid's? Also what do you guys think of the eurolite h3 bulbs? Any good, or is piaa better? Can you guys post pics of your foglights with piaa bulbs or whatever bulbs you have in them and state which bulbs they are and how myany watts?

Thanks.

Is there any real difference between the older Super Plasmas ans the new "GT" type?

Thanks, Kloogy. The 'old' ones are a lot cheaper on Ebay. I think that's what I'll get.

I just installed the Super Plasma GTX's. That is the latest version. Very nice. Check the PIAA website for a local dealer and bargain the price down. That way if one burns out they will help you get replacements.

How likely are the h3 piaa's to burn out if they are same wattage as stock? I know the higher wattage h3 bulbs last about 2 weeks before they burn out.

Some folks have had lousy experiences with the bulbs. Not sure why. They should last 3-4 years. If, for some reason, they don't, having a local dealer helps.
