I have the PIAA super plasmas Their worth it if you have the receipt for the 1 year warranty. Otherwise if there's any oil from a fingerprint on it it'll burn out fast.

if their sealed and never used it's still not worth it.. for $25 you can get imitations that are a hair less bright but have the same light color

Actually PIAA Super Whites are pretty good bulbs. They are probably the most durable PIAA bulbs, since other ones are known to burn out pre-maturely.

If they are new, $50 is a very fair price. Just don't buy any used bulbs... you don't know when it'll burn out.

that's true [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]
but when i pull my car from teh garage then closed the garage door and let the car warmed up, my whole garage doors are shining white and looks like i have real HID but when u start driving, the visibility is not any better than stock but i am sure it is better than crappy tires brand bulbs.
damn i want HID
