Which bulbs should I get??
I currently have silver stars right now, I'm looking to upgrade to something more white. What do you guys recommend between these two?

PIAA Super Plasma GTX 5000K

Raybrig Super Whites 5000K

I havent heard much about raybrig lights. I personally have always been happy with PIAA. That's what I have, I also have a local shop that warranties the bulbs for life. So, never have to worry about rplacing a headlight bulb again!

Most of my PIAAs lasted me for years. Some people had theirs blown within few months.

What don't you like about the Silverstars? I'm thinking about trying them out. I had PIAA Xtreme Whites and they both blew out on me within a few months. I sent them back to optauto where I bought them and they said they never received them.

Tony

Lontar1: The bulbs are warrantied for life at a local shop in my area. That means if you buy them from them they warranty them forever. I am on 2 years now without 1 burning out.

This was a few years ago. Yes, they gave me a RMA. They told me I was SOL.
