PIAA headlight bulbs cost around 50-60 on ebay when its only producing 4000w power and a none brand headlight bulb producing 4500w on ebay cost around 20 bucks.....whats the catch here? does anyone have PIAA lights installed with pictures?

 

i have none brand bulbs in my corners/clearance lights, its in my sig....umm for me theres no difference...ive used Sylvania Silver Stars and then a none brand headlight bulb n they giv out the same amount of light but they die quicker...

and the 4000w ur talkin about is just the color tempature...all 9004s giv out the same amount of wattage on high/low beams...4000-5000 is lik white...after that it turns to blue till lik 10000k n then its purple but thats on HIDz so w.e

 

wow nice clearance bulbs..what type are they? did you snip the nubs?

 

Wow, 4000 watts is a lot, jk. Stick with stock bulbs, you get more light output and they won't die as fast.

 

any colored bulb is for show with no go.

 

Plus depends how the law is in the state you live, you might bump into a Grumpy Cop and recieve a wonderfull $50 dollar gift to the state...So just buy the stock ones....they will keep going and going and going with no problem...

 

Christ, you would melt most things in front of you with that power.

 

That would be enough to power a small village.

I think you have color temp and wattage mixed up.

 

Well, I'll tell you, I just bought and installed a set of Piaa Extreme White Plus 9004 bulbs. They costed me $46. and though they are very white, they are NOT bright. The light output on these big hoopty doo bulbs is horse$hit. I'm going to put my Sylvania Xtravisions back in tomorrow I got at Walmart for $24.!!!!! The Xtravisions have the best light output for a 9004 bulb. And there you have it in a nutshell.

 

I just installed some helios hids 7k in my car but before this I was running sylvania silverstars, very nice lights.

 

Well said bro!

 

Or my amplifier......

Xtra visions are nice... silverstars are the best...(life kinda sucks... you can get new ones free..lol) if not go with HID...

 

Silverstars suck A$$!!!! You can see down the road as long as it's not raining. And you have alot of money to replace them every 4-6 months. I would say at least 75% of people having the Silverstars have issues with premature replacement. Just my .02.

 

I have yet to see a bulb look good on the ground when its wet...period

 

Oh yes!!! Get the Xtravisions. I get the same amount of light on the road when it's wet as when it's dry. I was amazed!!! I can actually see the road at night in the pouring rain..... Walmart > $20. and they beat the $hit out the Piaa Extreme White Plus bulbs I paid $46. for. What have you got to lose for $20. ?

 

Ive been lucky with my silverstars as they have lasted me just over a year now, but I agree they are awful in the rain. Ill be getting some xtravisons when the silverstars blow

 

I bought non-brand bulbs on ebay and they lasted 3 months before they went dead.

 

I like my silverstars, but here in Socal it rains 1/2 a day a year.

 

::
stock = couldn't see the road
silverstars = couldn't see the road
ricer purple bulbs = couldn't see the road
xtravision = couldn't see the road

 

Can you post pics of the Xtravisions. I would like to see what they look like. How are they in the rain?? I want to replace my bulbs so this would help.

 

Xtravisions are great in the rain. Try seeing an eye doctor, maybe you need glasses.....

Well, I'm glad you posted about the PIAA bulbs. I was looking into getting some. But now that I know they aren't that great of a bulb I might just go with Xtravisions. Because the Silverstars look great. But safety is a little bit more important than looks to me. But I had some good luck with the Cool Blue series in my 91 Eclipse. But I don't know if they make a bulb to fit the Maximas.

 

yea well i got into a bad accident so no more bright as **** clearance lights...


yeaaa maxima drifting in miami with traffic = bad idea...w.e

 

I've had 20/20 vision since day one. What are you looking at?
