Alternetives to PIAA bulbs

I'm looking to buy new bulbs for my maxima. I want the light to be as white as possible. PIAA seems like the best bulbs out there, but they are also alot of money. like 65 dollars a pair then another 65 for fog lights. Thats a little bit to much. Any of you guys have a suggestion for me. What other companies out there produce good bulbs that give of white light. I live in brooklyn so if anybody know a good store that i can check out please let me know. Thanks

I have tried a few companies such as Sylvania Silver Stars, Catz, eagle Lights and another off brand that I cannot recall the name. Was not happy with any of them. So I went with PIAA. PIAA's are DOT/SAE compliant and are street legal. They also have limited warranty. I am very happy with the PIAAs. I have the Super Plasmas. I did have the H3 Extreme Whites on first but since I have HID, I changed them. The Extreme Whites are white but teh others had a better match. I would suggest either going to ebay or the for sale section. I bought my lights on ebay and sold my pair of Extreme Whites on the "for sale" section of this sight for $35 shipped. Mine were only used for couple of hours if that. Hopefully this helps. Ed.

I've had PIAA on all the cars I've owned in the past. No problems with PIAA.

I tried to start a GD here for Piaa bulbs, but was unsuccessful. Piaas are expensive for a reason. They have lasted long then any other bulb I have ever purchased and they give an extremely clear bright light (Spark Blues). I had the extreme white before and even those looked rediculously bright. Spark Blues for me are worth every penny.
