Probably Piaa's, but they cost like $70 bills! Not worth it in my opinion.

I want yellow ones!

silverstars are much brighter than stock or the noyias i think in my opinon. Silverstars are really blueish looking, they more white with a slight tint of blue, depends on ur corner bulbs. I seen piaas they are very bright also, i might get them after my silverstars burn out. But alas these bulbs burn brighter and hotter so they don't last as long as OEM. Depending on driving style expect to change them after 1-3 years.

If he is refering to the super plasma or the super plasma GT, they only exist for the socket type of H4, H3 or the wedge blub. So there are none right now for the 9000 series which we use. The highest one is the platinum super white. Unless they just came out and not being sold in any store or listed on the piaa website yet in the US version. I believe though in the japanese verison they have them (where all the text are japanese), but they are much harder to find.

This is from a search at 127 a pop, a rip off. lol but hopefull somebody find them much cheaper.
