PIAA for Driving/High Beams
I went back and reviewed some posts that indicated that several of you had replaced your driving/high beam bulbs with PIAA Xtreme White bulbs. I'm curious as to how this changed the look of the driving light. Is it whiter/brighter?
I'm looking forward (not really) to installing PIAA Super Plasma bulbs in my fog lights this weekend.

I don't quite understand the terminology that PIAA uses for determining the wattage of their bulbs. For example, the Xtreme White Plus series is noted as 60W=120W. Well, I know that 60W doesn't equal 120W, and they advertise them as street legal which leads me to believe that they are not 120W.
Perhaps they have the equivalent brilliance of a 120W bulb. In this case, half of 120W is 60W, which leads me to believe that as day-time driving lights, at 50% power they will appear as bright as a full-power (60W) high beam. This is what led me to my initial query.
