I have the superwhites and love them! If you want somethign useful for everyday driving, I'd recommend the superwhites. If you actually encounter fog on a regular basis get the yellow. E-mail me or PM me if you want I can probably get some night shots sometime this weekend! Hey Eric L, I looked in your sig and you do have some night shot pics. I have a question though. In your sig, the second row down, there is a pic of your fogs and your headlights. Your headlights are really white w/ a tint of blue (im assuming they are the HIDs or blueish tint bulbs) but your fogs are yellowish in contrast. However in further rows down your fogs look VERY white w/ just a SLIGHT tint of blue. Is this pic taken after the PIAA superwhite addition was made, meaning are those the PIAA superwhite in combonation w/ ur HIDS? In this pic both your headlights and your fogs color look VERY close in color. It looks great. Thats why im hoping those pics are w/ ur HIDS and the PIAA's b/c I aiming for the same color match. P.S. what is the color temp of your HIDS? The reason I ask this is b/c I am trying to get a visual of the color output v.s. headlight out/HIDS. I ordered a pair of PIAA 510 superwhites a few days ago for a X-mas gift. They cost me $185 w/ the lamps,bulbs,relays,switches,etc. plus the white vinyl covers w/ black lettering(oposed to the ugly black grate covers). That included tax and there was free shipping and handling. Wa2tuff's pic below was the major reason i decided to get these. That pic is just redic. I sure hope mine look that good. Only bad thing about that pic is that I cant tell how the color output compares to the headlights. Originally posted by wa2tuff: Superwhites: I'm very satisfied and pleased with them. I've had them since mid summer with no problems. If there is a downside, it's that they are so bright they have to be aimed way down in front as to not blind oncoming traffic. They still do an awesome job. I could drive with them only and see fine.

PIAA is a rip off plain and simple. just get a higher wattage knock-off (clear is my fav), and buy 4 sets for the price of one set of PIAA's. i have some german bulbs in my car now, around a 130 watts, they are amazing compaired with every other bulb, cost about 25 bucks for a pair, 50 for hi and low set. dont be fooled by higher wattage for $99 a pair! look at the phisical bulb, compair it with a standard one, its shorter, hence a "higher" wattage, its a scam plain and simple. if anyone wants the name of the off-road bulbs i have,i will find the boxes they came in. dont get ripped off buy PIAA, they are a wate of money

The really-blue ones were taken when they were just turned on. I wish they would stay that color. I tinhik they are a 7k kit, IIRC. 2000 SVT Contour - Silver # 1675/2150 For Sale195/55/15 Bridgestone Blizzaks on Steelies <10k miles - $300 PM me for more info

I have SilverStars 9005's in both low and high beams. This pic is just with the low beams on. The PIAA 1400's in the grille have since been removed since I have the 510's for the fogs.
