piaa light bulbs

Does anyone know where to get PIAA bulbs are a reasonable price? Which type of bulb from PIAA looks the best on the CL, in your opinion..?

They're was just a topic on Piaa Plasmas so you might want to try and find it (prolly on like the second page). One member posted a pic of the plasmas on his car and they looked awesome but they are costly. Someone got them for $90 which i think is really good cause i have seen them sell for as much as 120 or 130 but i dont have the sites right now Sorry

the only 9006/9005 bulbs u can buy in the usa from piaa are superwhittes. the plasmas and extremes are imported from japan and thats why the cost so much. personally i think the plasmas look the best, but superwhite will work the best in rainy conditions.

Ive got superwhites in the lows. They wrok really well. And they're actually white too. But for some reason i think my aim is off. I did the little adjustment but the shine like really low.

I had Piaa Super White before but Plasma is much much nicer. I love the purple tint. As VXCL mentioned, the only problem with it is.. not too good for driving in rain. That's why I'm planning to install the Catz Zeta kit to turn it up.

If you want to see a pix of the light, I can upload a few pix after I got home from work tonight.

As for price, I bought mine here in vancouver, canada for $130 CDN (so.. around $87 US)...

Thanks for the feedback, could you upload those pictures? And, one more thing, what's the going life span on the piaa plasma bulbs?

Here is mine.
I put the plasma bulb in my fog too. Match perfectly... as for side marker, I'm still looking around for a better match.

What kinds of fogs are those? Are they the official acura ones?

Also, have you considered just not having side markers? I put in the clear lenses and think I will remove the bulbs, my thoughts are it would look better at night without them (especially with your fogs).
