Which Piaa H3 bulbs do you all get?

These are the ones that I found. I am looking for a close match to the HID.

PIAA H3 BULB: XTREME WHITE+ 55W=110W (PAIR)

PIAA H3 BULB: SUPER PLASMA GT-X 55W=110W (PAIR)

I asked Housecor and he thinks the second one are the replacements for the superplasmas. Is that correct.

Sorry for a repeated question, could not find which one everyone prefers now

i think the GTX burn at a different temperature. i'd look into that because it might be hotter than the regular plasmas and people already complain about them being too hot and cracking the fog lights. let us know what you decide.

Somebody (maybe Kloogy) posted that he saw no difference between the old Super Plasma and the GT-X. I think the GT-X is just a new name without any significant changes. Besides, the old ones can be gotten cheaper....at least mine were.

I'm currently running Plasma ions in the fogs for about a year now. A friend told me that the crystal ions were not as yellow.

I was running the 7500K Spark Blues in my (ebay) projectors. With the unusual rainy and wet winter weather here in Honolulu I had to put back my OEM AE headlights.

I plan to re-install my projectors with the Plasma GTX H3s in about a month when the weather gets better.

BTW - I think and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the GT-X bulbs are rated at 5000K like the H4s.

i have the GTX and I think they look pretty good. Knock on wood,....no cracked lenses. I think the only difference between the GTX and the regular Super Plasma is that the GTX has a SLIGHT purple/blue hue to make it match. Dont get me wrong when I say purple/blue,....definately not riced out....looks good.

The H3's that I have in my projectors and my fog lights are PIAA plasma spark blue, rated at 7500k, the highest rating that I've found so far. Like the name of the lights suggest, the bulbs give off a slight blue color that is beautiful. They aren't as bright as HID's, but the color is damn close. This issue has come up a lot lately and I can't understand why no one else seems to know about these bulbs, they're fantastic, but a little pricey.
