How do you like them? Brightness level? How much blue do the lights emit?

I posted some pics on this thread. They dont emit blue at all. brightness is very good. You can tell the difference between standard halogen and these. much whiter then the oems. The last pic has my hids and the high beams on. you can tell the difference between the colors. You might have to go 4350 to get more blues since mine are only 4K

Thanks for info. I'm really trying to compare the 2 different types of PIAA bulbs, Xtreme White vs Intense White. I'm not really looking for a blue hue. According to PIAA's site, the Xtreme White bulbs are suppose to have a slight hint of blue. Do you notice any blue at all? I'm not a big fan of overly blue lights, but a little to match the stock HID's would be okay. I'm curious how the Intense White bulbs compare.

The Intense white might be a closer match to the hids since they are 4100k. The bulb has a blue hue but when you turn them on there is no blue. the plasma are more purple, and i notice they arent very bright. Try looking at the MTEC 4350, little bluer than your hids.

Ill post more pics at night when it actually matters but these are a side by side comparison and you can already see the big difference. Nothing is going to match the factory HID perfect but this is dam close. My dad has a Nissan Murano that we changed his fogs to match the facotry HID and these already match better. PIAA EXTREME WHITE

factory hid and fogs




PIAA EXTREME WHITE




U owe me im posting mid-mod haahav

haha. thanks a lot man. I do owe you. thats way better than stock. like you said HID's would be better, but i dont feel like putting on HID's and If i det HID;s I am not getting something cheap that washes out and looks blue after a year.

hey if you dont mind let me know if at night the PIAA's have any hint of blue, and if they look more blue than the stock HID's. I am not really looking for any blue in the fogs, i want complete white.
again thanks to you

consider getting the PIAA Intense white instead of the extreme white. According to PIAA, Intense is 4100K and Extreme is 4000K. So 4100K is closer to the stock 4300K HIDs. I put in Intense 4100K as my highbeams and next to the HIDs, it looks pretty close. I'm not changing my fogs now but if they ever burn out, yeah PIAA Intense 9006 is probably what I'd be getting to match.
