Most "white" bulbs like my PIAA Superwhites take about 15 minutes to lose their yellow coloration. I doubt you use your high beams for that long at a stretch.

I think his is the Canadian model so it has Daytime Running Light? So the high beam is always on during driving...
I use PIAA Super Plasma and it's excellent... I am still waiting the weather becoming better and wash my car and take some pix for Alexx.... Then I'll post them here...

Basically, PIAA Superwhites suck. I cant wait for mine to blow so I can replace them with something better (Plasmas maybe)

My Hiper Plasmas work pretty well. They have a slight blue tinge to the light output... Cost about $26 bucks.

Get the Hiper Industries. They are like 20 bucks a pair and they do give you a nice hyperwhite color that is close to the HIDs.

Speaking of DRL in canada can we do that to the american version. I opened up the fuse panel and saw the space for the fuse but there like no socket for it.

my2sense: Do you have those bulbs? http://www.impactparts.com/hiper1.htm (If so, is it the first or second one, standard or high watt?)

They look good, but.. again.. i dunno.

RE: solaris and Hiper....

they match close, do they actually light up the road good?

The crystal whites i have match pretty well but i lose a lot of illumination

In a word "photoshop"...

Actually Paint Shop Pro (superior program). However that's what the 6000K bulbs will look like, and it's what I want...but not what I have
