Post Piaa 1400x

I just got my piaa 1400s installed today. Im sorry guys but these look like sh*t!!. They look nothing like hid. Can I buy some type of bulb that will change the color of them to hid or close to hid? Anybody know of the bulb I can change it to?

Your info is greatly appreciated....

You should have gotten the PIAA 1700x. They are really close to our HIDs. I used to have them but they burned out after 6 months. So now I have the new PIAA Solitaire Plasma Blue series.
BTW, if your PIAA is less then a year old then send them to PIAA and they should replace it for free. Go to their website and read under warranty.

I agree with BlackShadow. The 1700xs are pretty bright except I didn't like the blue lens that much cause my car is DEP. Mine burned out after 6 months too. Sucks. But if you just care about brightness and intensity, step it up to the 1700s.

Damn I bought the 1400s cause I thought they would look good cause everyone else had them. Do you guys think I can change the bulb? Do you know if they take an H3 OR H1 Bulb?

Get the 1700x with the 02TL switch. They look cool and match pretty close.

You must have gotten a bed set. I have the platinum series 1400's, and they are bright as hell at night. They have kind of a bluish green hue to them. I love them.
