Piaa Xwhites Bulbs

SHAHZ · April 25, 2008

....I would highly recomend these, had them fitted (as did many members) before i got my HIDs and are most likely the closest bulb colour that you will get to HID...absolute bargin usually around £60-£70 odd Link ......if the link doesnt work Item number: 270230360807 :winky:

I agree. I had these on one of my old cars and they are really very good. I paid £80 for my set which is a lot - particularly when you're getting into the realms of HID kits but if you can't be bothered with the hassle of HID, these are a good choice.

HIDs are now down to under £50!

But i would agree that these are possibly the best alternative.

I'm sorry but have to disagree on the quality of these bulbs.

PIAA bulbs has always had poor reviews. For example:

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/prod...inum_white.html

Blue coated bulbs in general are never as bright as plain white/yellowish bulbs.

If it's a whitish/blueish tint you are after, fine but there are cheaper options out there, like Philips Blue Vision.

If you want the brightest bulbs without HID, go with these.

Anywhere over here that does these bulbs? The website looks somewhat unprofessional and a tad dodgy to order from.

I've ordered them and has no problems wth my set.

As for Rob, I will withdraw my statement as I have no statisical evidence to prove it, purely my subjective opinion.

i wasn't trying to be awkward, just wondering if what u were claiming was actually statistically backed up through raw data?

Cheers. I'll have to take a look at them next time you are at a meet the same time as me. Quite odd that they don't appear anywhere else but I am after something better for my main beams, dipped are sorted with HID's anyway.
