PIAA Super Plasma GTX installed.

So I got them today and threw them in like 5 minutes later. I installed one and left the other in...turned on the lights and what a difference. It was still light outside, but I looked into the housing and the bulb created some really nice looking prism effects (blue and slight hints of purple). Then I looked at the other headlight and it looked so damn dull in comparison (Sylvania Silverstar). So I finished up and waited until it got dark. And hour ago, I went outside and looked at them again -- I'm very happy with them. Great output and fantastic color. I took a pic without flash, but for some reason the light in the pic came out waaaaaay too bright. Gonna' try to get better pics when batteries are charged.

CRIS: It's hard especially with my annoying camera. I got them off of eBay for $55 new.

I use to have those, very nice, but to be honest they didn't last me too long, dissapointed, one of the low beams went out on me. i also have the piaa ion crystal fogs, one of them just went out on me the other day, thought they were goin good. Piaa should last longer for the price, too bad because i really liked those bulbs, just got some new lights, they look exactly like them, i forget the name never heard of them but i got them from a good source through a friend, retail 40 got them for 25, said why not since my stocks were pissing me off, so ugly and i was able to see what they looked like since this guy had them in his car. anyway good luck with the piaa's hope they last you longer than they did with me.

whats the diff between the Regular piaa super plasmas and the piaa super plasmas GTX??

try taking the picture without the flash. When you flash everything in the dark with light just sucks

I believe the GTX's are the newest version. I have a set on order through a local performance shop. I talked him down to $55. I recommend finding a local PIAA dealer and mentioning that you can find them on the internet for $46. It worked for me.

ZeRo,

No sorry. I haven't mastered picture posting yet. Can you point me toward some directions and I'll see what I can do?

Thanks

this is what you should type to have a picture show up on your post

[img]Whatever your image file is (ex. www.bentley.edu/webstudent/john/bigassnuts.jxx[/img]

something like that.... and in order for you to do something like that you have to have some server space or wesbite where you can upload pictures to.

or you can do the easy way... sign up geocities... and upload your pictures from there... using the file manager... and then transfer them to the side and use the image picture and enter the "url" from geocities which can be found when your picture is uploaded...

lol... is there a FAQ on this by any chance... maybe that will go thru step by step....

Hope that helps!

I never said I'd post pics. Stop bumping this thread. The pics I tried to take came out over exposed. My car looked like it had HIDs.

Edit: This was without flash.

If you think your car looks like it has hid's you should take a comparison pic with one headlight actually having hid and see the difference.

No, dude. You don't understand. The over exposure of the camera is taking in too much light. So in the pictures it looks like my car has HIDs, not in real life. It's the camera being stupid, making it hard for me to take an honest pic.
