PIAA Light Bulbs.......

[Danthuyer]

Has anyone tried sourcing these bulbs in AUS?

I have only found a couple of places and they are wanting $270+ per Twin Pack

Cheers :D

can u get them in HB size? they fit hb4 and hb3.

for h7 i think the philips diamondvision or crystalvision are pretty good.

[Danthuyer]

PIAA A9005 = HB3

PIAA A9006 = HB4

;)

I have the PIAA HB4 lights for the foglights, its quite old tho, so I dont know how it compares with the newer ones. It looks yellowish compared with the autojoy lights for driving.

[Danthuyer]

I didnt end up worrying about the piaa bulbs.

Instead I ordered in a full set of PHILIPS Blue Vision Bulbs (H7, HB4 and HB3) all 3 sets came with wedge bulbs aslo for the parking lights. So now all lights including my numberplate lights will be blue vision ;)

Ended up costing $160 for all 3 pair

if you really want a blue colour you have to go a higher colour tempt

the best way is to import the lights from asia

they are cheap and they are bright

They also produce a great white blue light fun for night driving - but they have a tendency to ***** other drivers off :D

I'll prob pick up some piaa or at least another type of 7500K bulb when I head over to Singapore for my stop over in june ;)

Hey Danthuyer,

Are you heading over to Singapore in June? I'm heading over at the end of the month till the first week of May. Are HID bulbs cheaper there?

[shaohaok]

DiamindVision bulbs are WAAAY cheaper over there!! and a lot of other stuff!

[trd_141]

just be careful with wattage on the lights

most jap cars in asia can handel the higher wattage

just be sure to get adequate wattage when you buy the lights

[Danthuyer]

E - ya I'll be going for a 3 night stop over in Singapore on my way to UK + Europe for a couple months on a holiday.

Might look at some TTE stuff whilst I'm over there

BTW - installed all my new bulbs last night (right hand low beam light and parker near brake lines is a real @#$%&*)....nice and white light now ;) cant wait for the blues though

[shaohaok]

LOL that's y i asked u what those little pipes were about when u re-located my horn. coz they ****** me off so much when i tried to change bulbs. perhaps we can re-locate the brake-booster, too! :P :D

I found the stock Sportivo lights. Quite sufficient actually.

Compared to most cars out there...the sportivo is well lit and does the job well.

Those PIAA lights...what does it actually do?

Just makes everything brighter???

Do they actually use the same Watts as the book says, or does it use a HIGHER wattage?

Any pics of how they look like at night?

I did think about changing the lights...but...i'm pretty happy with them. i'll let them blow before replacing...which will take a while...oh wells. Maybe they'll have the BMW type lights out or even a HID kit for the car by then.

the brand piaa is much much much clearer. objects that are often blurry will be very sharp 20/20 vision.

[shaohaok]

[xTiGeRx]

Never tried them before....

isn't that why i'm asking? :P
