Ok before I buy lights for the 5th gen i'm getting, how do the plasma's compare to the regular superwhites? I assume the superwhites are brighter?? Anyone have pics comparing them?

the SW will put out more 'useful' light that the human eye can pick up. The Plasmas just look nicer cuz of the slightly blueish/purple tip.

If you use 55 watt PIAA SW H3s, the fog lights will put out enough light to make for the loss in lighting with the Plamas.

On the other hand, you can install the Super Whites, and use the fog lights for fog...

Get Superwhites-- they look white enough to me. For those coming from the ricey side, ERRRRR blue bulbs you'll probably want Plasmas, they contain much more blue.
