Ok here we go:

<img src="http://users.ev1.net/~shinglin/cars/maxima/bv/piaa_bv.jpg">
They are so close, it's really hard to justify the $60 for the piaas.

Beam pattern:

Piaa supwerwhites:

Philips Bluevision:

These pictures were taken on a tripod with a Kodak DC200 at Max resolution, reduced 50%. It was taken the same night a few minutes apart at the same location.

As you cna see they are SOOOO close, no one should be spending $60 for the superwhites. Fog lights are OEM

Hmmmmm.....I feel like a sucker!
Perhaps if one of my PIAAs goes out I'll switch to the Phillips Bluevisions

There's one thing I'd like to point out... I suspect that Philips has a LOT more R&D dollars than PIAA does... so my guess is that Philips can make a bulb or two.
