lights question?

What are some of the best head light bulbs you can get??
right now I have silverstars on my 1.6 el but my buddy is telling me that these xenon gas charged bulbs are better ? the only difference that I can see when just looking at them is that the xenons are more of a blue
The only way I will know for sure is by trying them of course.
But I just wanna see if I can get some of views from others on tsr before wasting anymore money.

you need to get the japanese imported piaa's, the ones that have colour temperatures above 4000k, not the american versions which are ***. the only prob is that the imported ones aren't covered under warrenty so you're taking a chance if they burn out.

i'm using polarg's in my 350z now and they work fine, way better than the piaa's i used previous to this which burnt out in less than 3 months

i've heard of many mixed results from piaa's (some lasting a long time, others lasting 3 months or less) but from my own personal experience i will never buy piaa's ever again, they're generally more expensive and not worth the money you pay unless you buy the imported versions and even then you can get the same quality if not better from other companies like polarg, etc.

Piaas have the best warranty over any other bulb, piaa backs up there product, the imported bulbs are illegal, 1 year no question asked warranty, bulbs burn out due to stupid people touching the lense when there installed and heat burns are proof everytime.

Piaa :thumbsup

probably, but then again, i got my piaa's installed professionally and they still burnt out, plus, i didn't like the way they looked anyways, so i still hate piaa's

Quit being cheap and pony up the dough for some real HID. If you are going to spend 70+ bucks on bulbs why not spend 400 and get real HIDs. I will never drive a car again without HID's. the differance is phenomenal, an well worht the money in the long run, since they will never burn out.
