just installed a pair of PIAA Super Plasma GTX and....

I'm not too happy with them. I replaced my PIAA Star Whites with the GTX's and they look EXACTLY the same. There is absolutly no color except for white. NO blue. NO purple.

I'm wondering for those who have them it they've noticed the same thing?

There are different ratings with the GTX. 5000k (what I have) is all white.

Stock HIDs or aftermarket? Stock HIDs are 4300k.

there is some purple, mostly off the sides not really in the center. if you have a solid purple color you might start attracting unwanted police attention. IMHO the GTX match HID's the best. you are never going to get HID look with out getting HID's. there is no replacment for the real thing. BTW, are these the headlights or the fogs?

They are for the headlights. 9004 bulbs.

The regular super plasma do look pretty good too.
