PIAA High Beam

i remember seeing somebody with piaa high beams on their cl-s. but it wasn't blue, it was white. i was just wondering which piaa bulbs they had purchased, looked white/slightly greyish. also, have you guys heard of the LED PIAA wedge bulbs (fogs)? i've only heard of them and i wanna see some and see how bright they are.

I have the PIAA Xtreme white bulbs and they look yellow compared to the HID lights. I have comprared them to the stock bulbs and they are whiter than stock but not THAT much whiter. I probably wouldn't do it again. The PIAA bulbs are legal though unlike some of the whiter bulbs.

The PIAA LED wedge bulbs aren't all that. They project such a concentrated beam that they almost get drowned out by HID. I have them on my car now and will post a comparison pic one I get my PIAA package on. One thing I gotta say is they do look different from other CL-S on the road.

No matter what kind you buy, they aren't going to match the HID. You can get closer but impossible to match. Want some Solaris Super White 9005's?
