I had an extra set of PIAA W2 bulbs left over and decided to give it a try.

Took all of 2 minutes to swap both sides. It was actually simpler than i thought it would be.

Anyway, as you can see from the photo's it definitely is whiter (bluer) than OEM but i can't say it's brighter. With 20% tint on my rear windows my eyes are telling me these 18w PIAA's perform worse than the OEM's. (I guess yellow light does make a lot more sense in this case).

I might go back to stock if i can't notice any real world difference in the next couple of days. So far i'm not really liking it - and a direct view from the back shows blue bulbs, too ricey for my taste.



Some more photo's can be found here

 

i'll buy ur bulbs if u decide to sell...

 

and the vultures begin to circle the carcass....

 

I'd keep the stock greenish light for safety purposes that way ppl at night know ur backing up

 

cough RICE cough...

 

Your reverse lights look just like mine.

 

steve-OOOOOO, whassabie? lol, i was just noticing the pix of ur car in the sig and came up with a phatty idea!

dude, save up like 50$ or so and paint ur grille white like ur car! it will look soo much nicer IMHO

 

i agree.

 

Did this last year -- All I see is BLue lights when i approach the car.

Mine are Eaglite Xenon WHites or whatever -- I think I might get rid of mine and go back to stock too!

rice-rice BaBy....

gr

 

I got those in my reverse & rear turnsignals....i like it

 

Forward backward either way they'll see lights comming at'em and sould be like

With 20% tint maybe putting the brightest light you can back there is the way to go and you wont have to

 

I wouldn't have them in my rear turnsignals. I wouldn't think you'd be able to see the white signals during the day and you might get rearended b/c of that one day.

 

i have them in my rear turnsignals.. i think u can see them jus fine during the day too... but at nite.... BOY are they BRIGHT!

 

Looks good man.

 

Are you from the PH?

 

Yeah I have PIAA Xtreme whites in mine. I agree with you can probably see more with the stock lights and I got pulled over yesterday on my way to school for them. The cop just wanted to make sure I didn't have blue lights on the back of my car, but I showed him that they were white and he was okay with it. I'm sticking with them. I don't think it's rice. People notice those super white lights when backing up.

 

Same as mine !
