PIAA...Xtreme or Platinum?

Im planning to replace all my bulbs soon and I want to keep the color the same. Anyone know the difference between PIAAs Xtreme and Platinum bulbs? The Xtreme is a little more expensive.

The Xtreme have a higher color temperature output and are tinted blue to look more like HIDs than the Platinum/Super.

Thanks a lot, I am probably going to go with the Xtreme whites then. Has anyone harness ever burned out using these bulbs?

If you get the bulbs that use the stock wattage, your electrical system will be fine.

You don't need to worry about the wiring harness with the PIAA bulbs and I personally like the Xtreme white over the platinum.

I have Xtreme Whites in my fogs and high beams. Installed over a year ago and no problems at all.
