What are the best aftermarket bulbs that look like similar to zenons? Standard wattage for the 2000. I heard the brand new PIAA are supposed to be nice. I want the whitish purpleish look, not the cheap blue look. Thanks. Chase

Try the FAQ and the Search Function. I think most go with PIAA.

In terms of looks the PIAA plasmas probably look the best. I am using Raybrig White Thunder's now and they are really white with a slight hint of blue. I like those a lot. Of course, if you have the $$$ to spend the HID kit would be the way to go, no doubt

hahah.. Raybrig!! if you can get your hands on either White Thunders or heck, even Metal Whites, you'll have nice light output.... just don't go generic... you'll lose a LOT of light.

yes, read the FAQ-U!

I changed most of my friends with PIAAs over to Catz.
The catz gem bulbs have the exact same color as PIAA plasma bulbs. But when you use the high beam it gives you the same color as the low beam but only much more intense. I also recommend you try Koito white beam h4's. Very good bulbs

How does the actual light output of the Catz Galaxy White bulbs compare with the Piaa Xtreme whites? This is for bulbs with the stock 60/55 wattage.

The Xtreme Whites seem to have the highest rated output of the piaa series, and the Catz give similar numbers. The stock bulbs aren't as white, but you have to admit they are pretty bright for stock.
