My buddies all swear by PIAA. Probably be my next set of bulbs when the time comes.

which piaa ones tho? and those are like $60 up rite

D.T.P

i have piaa in my headlights. different size since i got an integra. non the less they are quite bright. although i would choose 4300k hid's any day over these. i used to have 4300k in my old car and they did not attract much attention as the crazy blue 8000k ones and i was able to see absolutely everything with them.

wheres the best place to get a good price on piaa bulbs and which style is the best also. thanks

Here's a link to the H4 bulbs piaa makes. I'd go with the intense whites or the extreme white plus. PIAA bulbs cost more but everyone I know hasn't burnt a set out and love them.

Trust me... the amount of brightness you want, your not gonna get outta halogen, and IF you do they WILL burn out quickly as well.... so my advice is to get a 4000K hid set, even a cheap one off ebay, $60USD and you wont be disappointed

^^ that's only low beam.

And I have the "blue" ones by piaa and in the city its hard to tell whether my lights are on, but once I'm in the complete dark, they are quite decent. Would not get the blue ones, rather extreme white as mentioned above. 4300kalvin will light everything up the best since its the closest colour intensity to the sun and what your eyes are used to.

which blue piaa ones u have the artic purple ones? 5000k?

D.T.P

I'm not entirely sure since I got them when I got the headlights.

Bradsma

I wouldn't go for the purple ones. I'd go for the intense white or extreme white. Since scrid3r said he had problems with the blue (extreme white) I'd go for the intense white. They also happen to be cheaper than the extreme whites.

I think I'm going to get the Intense whites when the time comes.

D.T.P

To be honest I would get 4300k hi/low bixenon hid kit. I bought mine for last car for 160 or 180. The light output was amazing, just adjusted headlights lower, never blinded anybody nor got high-beamed.
With regular bulbs you can get only so far...

Best replacement bulbs are Luminics titanium white new model just came out search them up probably no dealers in canada but this model has a 1 year warranty not your normal 30-90 days. Kinda pricey but now you really know what the best is.

HIR bulbs will be the brightest bulbs next to HIDs.
