To anyone who purchased PIAA xtreme whites

What is the deal with these, I put the PIAA xtreme headlight bulbs in
and they look exactly like my stock bulbs? I have clear corners with white bulbs and I want my headlights to match? can it be done without having to get HID's.

I bought the PIAA Xtreme Whites for my Headlights, Fog Lights, Clearance Lights, and Sidemarkers. All of them match pretty well except for the sidemarkers. They have a blueish tint to them. I noticed a difference when I put the new bulbs in compared to stock. They are definately whiter. I noticed a bigger difference with the fog lights, but the headlights are whiter than stock. I'm going to be taking some pictures as soon as I get my new digital camera. It should be here on Monday.

Later,

I bought all of mine from Options Auto Salon -- http://www.optauto.com. Like I said, once I get my camera, I'll take some pictures for everyone.

I bought the Xtreme side markers too to match the other Xtreme lights nad they were like u said bluish, so I got the Platinum SW and they match a whole lot better. I'd say try them.


In regards to the headlight being close to stock: You have to look straight at them to get the effect. If u look at them from the top then you get a yellowish kinda look. I think they look pretty damn good.
