Default PIAA bulbs

Hey guys,

I recently saw a post that PIAA has the Xtreme Force bulbs but only in Japan, but we can get the new Spark bulbs (5500k?!?!) anyone has any experience with the new PIAA line... I had Piaa Supe Plasmas on my 4runner and they burned out within a year and gave basically a WHITE Light.... so let me know how bright the Sparks are and if there is a possibility of getting the X-treme Force in the US.

Also, I did notice PIAA now makes the M-4 wedge bulbs, seeing as I HATE the Raybrig/Polarg bubls are the Piaa Wedges birghter? They also have the double Diode Wedge bulb, how is that?

Any pics would be appreciated.

I have recently (Nov 2002) replaced the stock H3 fogs with PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs, and (Feb 2003) replaced the stock 9005/HB3 highs with PIAA Extreme Whites. I, too, will be very interested in there longevity considering the money spent.

I recently saw the PIAA Sparks and Xtreme Force. One was in the neighborhood of 5100k and the other stated 7000k. They were noted specifying that they were not street legal in the US but were available through that website mail order. The site, name escapes me at this time, was US based according to the address.

Both were about $105/pr US. The question would be why pay the money if the lighting is poor. I thought as you go above 4100k, the illumination decreases.
