Go with the PIAAs.

My Nokya's have lasted 1 year+!

I've never blown out any Nokya bulbs in the past 3 years of having cars....had a mazda from Jan 02 to July 03, then the CL from Aug 03 - Present.

I upgraded to HID's about a month ago (w/ projectors), so the nokya's have lasted quite a while.

I've been using the same Nokya hyper whites since I bought them (Jan 02) lol

any bulbs that look like hid will work like shit on the road. u may look cool to some ppl as u drive by, but ur not goign to be able to see where your going. especially in the rain. piaa super plasmas look purple and they suck for visibility not to mention they dotn last long. all depends if ur piaas come from the us plants or japan. bottom line is no bulb looks like a real hid system, so dont waste ur time and $$$ tryin. save for real xenon equipment or at least a kit. u'll thank me later.

Maybe there should be a thread with before and after shots of all the bulbs, HIDs, etc. Whenever I get new bulbs, I'll be sure to post one on the galler section.

Nokya is good....also get the two sets of 9005 bulbs and convert the 9006 to 9005.....much better lighting vs. 9006

Or you can buy nokya's for 15.00 and it would take 20 pairs to equal a set of hids And in my case they would last 20 years haha but anywayz ya just get hid's you'll love them.

Hmmm, the Nokya's were my choice.but it's true, 3 or 4 sets of Nokyas can easily buy me the real deal...I'll just pretend to save money for the Nokya's and by the time I know it..i'll be asking what real H.I.D's are the best..lol......thanx for all the input...
(now where did I see that Maxima...hmm)
