Cool Got my PIAA 9007's!!!

Got my PIAA 9007's today. YEAHHHH... They were really easy to install, took me about 5 to 8 minutes(problem putting back the headlamp on the drivers side). Do I like 'm??? Well... I could probably live without 'm... I haven't really tested them yet on the highway. They seem white, but not brighter.... There is a black spots on the road(center, not that big though) and completely on the left edge of the light beam(near the headlight itself) it looks kinda out of focus. Maybe that's because of the whiter light... I think... At least they're legal... Also, The headlamps are not clear or of the projector style. I think that plays a huge role. Maybe I should do a side by side comparison with the regular bulbs, anyone with an F-150 live in or near Coral Springs??? One more thing... A drop in replacement bulb will NEVER come close to the real HID's... The real ones look really bright and focussed but not intrussive at all.

Cool

Well I was thinkin about gettin some, but if you say they aren't that much brighter, then I don't know what to do. I have had superwhites but one burned out on me a few weeks ago, and I never really liked them anyway, not bright at all. So now I'm not sure, I know I want the brightest I can get. Guess I'm gonna have to keep looking.

I have the PIAA platinum Hyperwhites. They are whiter and brighter than stock. I would say that they are about as bright as you can get and still be legal. They are not blue at all.
