    I have them

    Hey man I have the Piaa H4 8000K bulbs, I use them for the reason that they are extremely bright and they don't burn out every 5-6 months like the cheap ones. I am on my first pair only since 99 so that is great for me. Little Costly but worth it to me. My friends have Silverstar and Hyper Industries and mine look so much brighter then theirs and look so much nicer. I get compliments about them daily.
    Hope this helps

    Hopefully pictures by end of the weekend

    Hey I can hopefully get pictures by the end of the weekend I don't have my digital camera back a friend is borrowing it. About the price I have a friend here in Cali that gets me them for 50 dollars but every store around here sells them for 99 so just look on e-bay there should be good prices there.
    Just a recommendation for a nice touch add the Piaa ION's in your foglights if you have them and they are so bright and look identical to a lexus.

    yeah i've been looking for the ion fogs too - found them at autobarn's website. They're more expensive (+20 a pair) than most sites but a least they got em. I was also looking at the spark blue piaas for my headlights also but i think ill wait to see a pic

    those are impatations

    Hey man those Ions are imatations don't get suckered in to crap they will burn your sockets. The Piaa Ions are like 99 dollars not 18 so don't buy some crappy kind not all ions are the same.

    nsng20 - The PIAA ion crystal from Options Auto aren't imitations. I bought them from there and have last me over a year (then again, I don't run my foglights everytime I'm driving, not even that much at night. Only when I feel like it) And yeah, they're like $21 each at OptAuto, so about $45 total including shipping and everything.

    I just figured out the difference

    I just figured out the difference with the Piaa's you guys are talking about and the ones I have. It looks like there are two different wattages for the ION'S the ones on the website you guys gave are like 55W I am running some that are alot more they are like double that wattage. Trying to find out the exact number for you guys now.

    The higher the wattage, the most likely they will burn out. Thats is key when u buy these hiper white bulbs, stock bulbs run at 55watts, but these hiper white h4 bulbs and such run at like 80watts, thats why they melts everything and burnout. And i also just purchased the Ion crystal yellows of that website for 19 each... I've looked all over the web at all diff prices and the ion cystal PIAA dont exceed 25 per bulb on any website. There are PIAA H3 bulbs that cost like 45 each, but these arent them. Xenon(real HID) is ur best bet, before i got my g20 i learned things the hard way. I have a altima and a path, i changed those hyper white bulbs on them every other week. The wattage is so high that it melted all the connections around everything all the time. When I got the G20, i just bought the realdeal Xenons, which run at 35watts(lower then stock lamps) but produce over 70% more light.

    My friend has those ... on his accord coupe 2002.

    They sure do look bright when they are coming at you...ever sit inside a car driving at night with those???

    If they say they are brighter than xenons then its from the outside cuz actually quality will driving is not near my xenons.
