With lights it's easy to tell..

Light comes on = good

Light doesn't come on = bad, bulb needs replacement. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

well I dont know much about nokya

but I bought the sylvania cool blue

and I bought piaa super plasma bulbs


there is a BIG DIFFERERENCE in color

the piaa's are purplish/bluish while

the cool blue's are just like stock bulbs

I thought I read in one of these threads that cool blue's were

good, but I beg to differ

go PIAA!!

THat's weird... I remembered reading a few threads about how Piaa bulbs blew out alot for our cars. You might wanna do a search and check up on some old threads if there still there. Or maybe that was just with projectors that they had problems. I myself have hipers and ppl love the way they look. Alot cheaper too.

Well I had the Xtreme wedge bulbs blow out under 2 mths but I got them replaced and I have had my headlights for almost a yr now so they work good. I would say PIAA

yeah, i hear the super plasmas tend to explode at random intervals. you'd have to blow 5 sets of nokyas before you match the cost of a set of piaa's, and I can assure you 5 sets of nokyas will (when you DON'T touch the bulb) last much, much longer than a set of piaa's. I also like the considerably more blue tint that the nokya's have.
