I have PIAAs. The output is great and the high beam is pretty incredible. The only beef I have with the PIAAs is compared to my Polarg corners, they have a yellowish tint, sort of like stock 9004s. Dont get me wrong, they look 10 times better than stock, but unless it is completely pitch black they arent as white as I thought they would be.

It's a complete trade-off. I have friends who have Xenon lights that look really cool, but the light the bulb gives off is poor. In the rain, they are awful. With PIAAs, you sacrifice some cool looks, but the trade-off is you get improved visibility. Just depends on what you are trying to achieve with aftermarket bulbs.

You can get Xenon bulbs which have more of the blue tint which also means you sacrifice visibility. If you get the highwattage Xenon bulbs its almost the same as the PIAA's in visibility, but the higherwattage means hotter bulbs which will melt your connectors. If you get the higherwattage bulbs be sure to get the APC Wire Harness, it allows the bulbs to not get as hot and give incredible visibility, I think the best you can get. I heard if you go with the harness AND PIAA's, they're are a very powerful seutp. Its all up to you.
