PIAA Super White Bulbs 850 1994

I am looking on ebay for these PIAA Super White Bulbs and I'm not sure as to what specific model I need. Any help will be appreciated. I'm hoping to have headlights that look like HID and not like the rice rockets. Thanks.

PIAA Super White Bulbs.... save your money 850 1994

They're a waste of money. Instead take that money and invest in some E-code lens for your headlights, that will get you the beam that you want. You can find them at www.FCPGroton.com under the 850 lighting section. A simple bulb change is not going to improve your light beam output, it may change the color, but it's not going to improve the beam. That is the lens job. The best bulbs on the market are the Extended Vision type offered by Sylvania or Philips. Good luck ......

PIAA Super White Bulbs 850 1994

Jonas;
I recently gave this recommendation to another bricker that I learned from questioning the guys over on the Volvospeed board. They highly recommended
Sylvania's "Silverstar" halogen bulb replacement. They run around $35-40 a pair. Check out the site below:

Happy New Year!

I'd try daniel stern first 850 1997

I think he's recommending the OSRAM silverstar over the sylvania silverstar available stateside; they were about the same price when I checked. He's also an excellent source for information on lighting.
