Xtreme white or Super Plasma H4

I dont know which PIAA bulbs I should get. Which one projects more light and which one has a brighter light and also anybody have these on their max?

well...........

well, h4's for the headlights? i say stick with the more expensive one! the super plasmas are more expensive so get those! no, but really, between the xtreme white plus and the super plasmas, i would be surprised if you could notice the difference. the rating is higher on the super plasmas, but then you have to factor in your headlight housing as well. i have the xtreme white h3's (fog lights) and they're bright as hell! hope that helps!

In H3s in the fogs, the Super Plasma look a little blue, and the Xtreme Whites look white. Presumably the H4s are similar.

My homepage has a pic of my car with the Xtreme White H3s installed.

I had the super plasma gts H4 and H3 in my 2k1 and loved them. Both were rated at 5000K. The high beams were 4000K. I could see really good at night and they had a blue tint that matched the Polarg Hyper Whites under the clear corners. How they match exactly, I dont know, but it looked good. Im not sure about Xtreme whites, but I was happy with the plasmas.

I have super plasmas in my fogs....they are more colorful than the xtreme whites...they are kinda blue, kinda purple, kinda white...nice look IMO

The spark blues are useless for headlights....they are decoration only....too blue and too little light

I have the super plasma for my fogs and as you can see they match with my foglights.But they only look brighter because is a smaller housing when you put them on your headlights they won't look as bright. Also the picture adds tons of glare but they match

Do these bulbs last a long time? I want to replace my fog light bulbs but $75 for two bulbs is a bit pricey.

supposedly they last longer than the stock ones do, especially those that are not on all the time (dome light, door lights, reverse lights, etc). as for exact time, i'm not sure, but believe me, you won't be disappointed with the brightness!

I don't know about you guys but I have superplasma H4 & H3. They definitely look nice, but I have had to replace the H4 every 4-6 months (it's getting annoying) just dealing w/. warranty issues and stuff. I got my wiring checked too and everything seems fine, so I don't know why the Superplasmas keep blowing out. Just be prepared to change your blubs every few months if you decide to go with Super Plasmas. As for the Xtreme whites, I haven't seen those, but from what I hear those tend to last about a year. I think Piaa's quality is going down.

you can barely notice the difference between the two...if you pay really really close attention the plasma is a little whiter and brither....
barely any difference...
