Default What lights are better than PIAA?

What lights are better than PIAA? Simple question...I imagine something has to be better...PIAA is just the most popular/expensive it seems. I'm using Silverstars right now but am curious to see if anything else better is out there.

So far I've considered Luminics and GP Thunder but have decided against both.

unless you have HID's. Thats the only way you can achieve that color! Other than that their all just blue tinted bulbs!

i'd just save the money and put it towards HID's. You've got silverstars now, they work just fine

Well actually one of them just went out which is why I'm thinking about getting something else.

I'm a bit afraid of getting HIDs as I've heard mixed things about installation as well as people getting theirs jacked. I also think I"ld put that money elsewhere first

^^People have had them jacked!? I haven't heard of that, lol. I thought I was going to get them jacked the other day though when some ppl were asking about them at Wal-Mart. I used to have the 9005 Silverstars though and that was pretty much the best that I know of. I haven't seen/had PIAAs.

Now that you can get quality HID kits for 150~ bucks, who'd want to waste money on colored halogens that have a high risk of being defective and lasting a few months.. I must have spent hundreds on different brand bulbs back when HID was $600+.. nothing pleased me like a real HID does ;)

Dear god that looks amazing. My parent's ES330 has HIDs(I forced them to get some ha) and I don't know if they look that good.

I was going to do to the 9005 to 9006 mod...but then I read that the it's not a good idea because the 9005 bulbs have a lower resistance.
