This one has pretty decent prices and a good selection of PIAA fogs, I wish someone would get the Plasma spark for $100/pair, they are supposed to be 7500K

 

Ah ok i see now, the Plasma GT is low beam, and the GT-X stands for an Xtreme white high beam. I was kinda confused as to what I bought. Sparq, did you see those comparison pix i posted earlier showing the differences between the two bulbs? Is that how your car looks with them too?

 

BlackMax..I posted pics of the GT-Xs in my car..just for you actually

Here's the link again:

BlackMax...one more question

Is there a number on the map/vanity fuse type bulbs?

thanks

 

I was wondering about this when I was looking for them...and on the ones i bought at autozone, nope. They are 31mm long, thats all you need to make sure of...they are the shortest cylinder type bulb made. Just take them out and bring one into the store to compare if you need to, the socket bends a little to accomodate a thicker cylinder ( the rears are larger than the fronts, but you cans till fit them in the front) They are 10 watts each. discountleds.com has a whole selection of them, in different colors, and they have the 31mm ones needed

 

Chrome coated amber bulbs are in! What a frickin' pain in the butt! The fogs were in plain sight once the tank was removed..but the clearance behind and around the blinkers is a nightmare to get your hand into. That copper bracket attached to the fender and the tank was right in the way and the bolt would not turn so i bended it and then bent it back with no problems..It was a nightmare, but Im happy to report that they look awesome when the lights are on, I didnt expect them to look different when on. They glow, rather than emit light...and are a reddish orange now. Im just happy i didnt do all that to see no changes. When off they are clear fron the front, but as nismo said, a little light spills in from the side through the orange marker and casts some orange inside...but its nowhere near as orange as it was with the amber bulb in. With the HID's on they stand out more because theres no more amber light everywhere, looks very good..gonna take some pix

 

Just installed the foglights, H3 PIAA super plasma bulbs. I am very impressed with them, they nearly match the HID's. I was not expecting such a great look after reading what others have posted, but these bulbs look as different from the OEM fogs as the HID does. Very impressive, worth the wait for shippment. Silverstars are a complete waste of money, install PIAA super plasmas or dont even bother.

Sparq:
These actually are not the GT-X bulbs, as I believe those are designed with an Xtreme white highbeam, which is not used anyway. This *might* be the reason you were unhappy with them. The part # on the box says H-108, and as I can see from the pics you took, yours are a different model. I reccomend these bulbs if you want to match the Xenon's.

 

post pics post pics

So..I don't have the GTX then...?

 

No, you do, thats what it says on the box you bought. Mine do not say GT-X. They just say super plasma bulbs. I will post pictures of them sometime this weekend. They actually make the road look even brighter and bluer when they are turned on. I am very impressed with the bulbs. I used to not use fogs, now ill always have them on because its so much brighter infront of the car and the color is as good as what the HID's shine on the pavement. The color of them are the closest thing to HID I have ever seen, and heads and shoulders above sylvania silverstars. Ill post pix in this thread soon.

 

04BlackMaxx is this the buld u have "PIAA Headlight Bulbs - H3 Light Bulb: Super Plasma 55w=85w, 5000k"

 

Yes, get the twin pack 5000k H3 super plasma 55w=85w. They are about $60 depending on where you order them from. Thats what I have, and I will post pix

 

Hey thats my twin brothers Max!

 

Thats funny, I just went on cardomain to see a comparo of PIAA's and stumbled upon this because he has a really high rating on cardomain. He's got the fogs I bought.

 

Yeah his Max is pretty clean. Thats why I really dont bother spending too much time searching for a good bulb. His PIAA SuperPlasmas look so good, matched the his HID's perfectly. When I start changing my bulbs out, thats what Ill be going for.

 

They look great, don't ya think?

Fog off:

Fogs On:

The Boyz hangin out

 

Are those pics with the fog lights off!?!?

Take some pics at the angles I took mine...play with the settings of the camera a bit...set it to the 'night' feature if u have it...lets see the color of those things!

 

They are on in all of them, except the last one, i can take some day pics and it will look alot better.

 

Weird day today, feels like its 60 out, its sunny, and there is 6in of melting snow on the ground, car is hot in the sun.

 

Where did you guys buy the amber/turn signal bulbs from??

I havent been able to find a PIAA amber bulb, do they make them amber in 1157??

If not, whats another brand name I could get thats BRIGHT??

-MO-

 

04BlackMaxx, lights look sick! gotta get me a pair now

 

Lookin goooooood ma man!

Thanks, yeah i have pretty high standards, and those silverstars just didnt cut it, these do, they have a purple glow that completely illuminates the road infront of the car, and the Xenons cover the rest of the pattern.

 

Heres the $7 pair of blue APC corners I got at advance auto. OEM is 3156 and has only one filiment, these have 2, one isnt used, but it still fits if anyone was wondering. They are blue when off, and a bluish hyperwhite on, looks nice. PIAA's are clear off and I dont like that.

Heres a pic of them off:

And on:


They arent any brighter from what I can see, Ill be able to tell when I go out driving, But they look a heluva lot nicer & match the other lights.

 

Are the corner lights hard to install? I've looked around on the site and I have seen that they are a pain in the ***.

 

Elmo, compared to the other lights, not at all, it took me about 15 mins. What you want to do is when you do the driver side, cut the wheel to the extreme right, and you can more easilly bend the wheel well plastic away to get ur arm in there. 2 screws under each light come off, they are screwed into the body. After that its easy, kinda hard to turn the bulb, but the harness is at the bottom of the assembly, and once you unlock it the bulb comes right out from the bottom.

 

These APC corner lights look great, but as for light output they suck. Can't get hurt for $7 though.

 

um, the PIAA Xtreme Whites are blue when off. just like the reverse ones. and they light up the'r area as bright as the HID combining perfectly. Still not sure why you're messing in the wheel well. I removed the 2 screws and got to them easily. 2 min. each bulb.

 

Nismo, this obviously isnt getting across well on here, but I basically took out the 2 screws, which loosened the thin plastic that surrounds the tread of the tire. I spread the front bumper away from the plastic in whe wheel well and stuck my arm through there, easilly reaching the assembly, and unscrewing the bulb from the bottom of the housing. It was the easiest way to get at the bulb I found, I didnt get at it from under the car, I got at it from behind the bumper witht he wheel cut so I could get my arm in there. It took 15 mins start to finish, so Its a useful method. I didnt go from under because even with the screws out, there was no place to put my hand. But hey liek I said, um...I bought them cuz theey were cheap and I wouldnt have to wait to have them shipped..just saying they are no good. I did the same thing with silverstars before getting super plasmas.

 

I got the Piaa's as well, they are super bright vs. the $7 ones I bought at first. My first change I went underneath and then I figured out the wheel well trick, much easier like 04 said!!!
