subaru_terrence Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey guys, I want to replace my silverstar bulbs. Does anyone have pictures of their cars using PIAA Super Plasma GT-X or Extreme White Plus? I want to see how would they look like when I drive on the road and is it bright enough. I know the Plasma GT-X is like purple-ish look, so will it look like those cheap xenon bulb bulbs and not bright enough? Do silverstar and extreme white plus pretty much the same? Please help me out!! THX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 the Extreme white is just white, not too much brighter... the GT-X are more of a blueish hue to it really.. not that much brighter either.. but of the two, the Extreme White is the better choice for being "brighter"..

HansGT Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have PIAA extreme force....4700K vs.4000K of the PIAA extreme white and silver stars. just gives a hint of blue to a very bright white. I'm really happy with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 i don't have any pics yet, with the lights off you can't really see the blue bulb cause i got them for my lows. I do however have a pic of somebody that used them for thier highs....at certain angles you can see the blue. I'll see if i can take some pics tonight. pic...xtreme force highs (not my car) I am pleased with them. however the more you move away from the standard 3200K the more reflected light you get in fog and rain. so there is a trade off.

subaru_terrence Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 i had some cheap blue bulbs before, but they only lasted for about 5 months or 6 months max. It started to become very dim when I looked from my driver's side. It looked fine outside but not inside, so I bought silverstars. However, I heard everyone said they will burn out very fast. I want to install hid but i don't know anyone can do free installation for me and disable DRL. Unless someone can teach me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookslikeanevo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 go HID and never look back...ask elxkid on this board... PIAA's are worse than sylverstars.. IMHO....

mechdiff Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Definately HID's FTW. They have come down in price so much, I've been using mine for about 3 months now and love the amount of light that they put out. Installation is quite easy if you have some basic mechanical skills. DRL disable is easy and you can do it in about 10 seconds if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaru_terrence Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 can anyone teach me how disable DRL with 02 legacy L? not the GT version, I know there is a little bit different in between both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 how many sets do you gro through? or have gone through? PIAA = overpriced bulbs that last less than a year mine lasted on an average of 2 to 3 years.. my cousin is still on his PIAA superwhites which are 7 years old!!!! just make sure the bulb is clean, I normally clean them before installation with some rubbing alcohol and then I am VERY careful of not letting the glass touch ANYTHING upon installing the bulb.. lasts a long time.. just dont flicker your lights too often, the filament will last longer too.
