PICS comparison of Nokya overwattage vs pepboys

I just got Nokya arctic whites 80/100 but one of the bulbs are defected so they are being sent back for new ones. I took these pics of one of them in the drivers side because the other didnt work. the Drivers side is the new Nokya and the other is from pepboys 3A hyper white stock wattage.

It's gonna look good when that 2nd bulb gets put in.

Guess the new connector installs went well.

if you can swing $70 for bulbs i would highly reccomend PIAA Super Whites or Extreme Whites!

Nice

So the Nokyas aren't really that blue as people said...



ny96max,
Would those PIAAs still be brighter than Nokyas which are higher wattage than them?

Also, I'm looking for the whitest and brightest bulb I can find, no blue.. Someone suggested Naxos.. they look really white.. and they are cheap.


Nismo,
You installed your harness? Did you have to cut the old wires and put this instead?

Naxos will be alot brighter than the Piaas, but youll need to buy the upgrade harness for the Naxos. Naxos are very very white with a lil blu tint to them.

The Nokya harnesses I got from southwestautoworks.com are direct replacements for the stock haness. they are a more stronger plug and thicker guage wires. Just cut off the old plug and solder in the new.

The Nokyas are actually a little bluish in real life but the camera didnt pick it up but it still white enough to make my old bulbs that I thought were really white, look yellow.

Im going to be using these bulbs until I get money for some hids since I still feel that even these are not bright enough for me

I have them, they're bright as ish and haven't melted my harnesses in over 12 months now. However I am switching to Nokyas, from the pics I see they look even better than my Naxos. However the Naxos ARE very, very white with a small pitch of blue. EVERYBODY thinks they are HIDs, and they shine much whiter than stock - so I consider them a good bulb.
