PIAA Superwhite Lights

Hey guys, I just bought a pair of PIAA Superwhite H4 headlights. I want to change my turn signal and parking lights to the EXACT same color...so I wanted to know what the PIAA lights are called for the two, what color they're called, and what size/model number they are. Thank you so much for your help.

I have the same lights, and wanted to change the others to match as well..........here's the deal though........since the headlights utilize a reflector (so you don't actually see the tip of the headlight), and the parking & turn signals are totally exposed, the superwhites & the platinum superwhites look blue when viewed head on. In other words, there is some serious contrast going on. Though the light emitted (as viewed from the driver/passenger position) may be similar, on-coming traffic will see 2 different colors.

If you find a bulb that matches up well to the PIAA superwhites, let me know!!

Good luck!

If you have the same luck I had, the PIAA's will go bad in a short time.

Would be curious how soon they blew since I have a pair (6 months and counting) and love them. There is a 1 year warrentee replacement.

Hey, you people with having their PIAA bulbs blow prematurely, are you guys sure that you handled the bulb correctly? In the manuals it strictly says that you cannot touch the glass elements of the bulb or else any oil from your skin will heat up and shatter the glass.

I've had PIAA super plasmas on my civic for a few months now and they're still going strong, no problems.
