What city are you in? I know a place where you can test out the bulbs to see how they light up. Unfortunately, if you're not in LA/OC, it won't really help you.

I've got them on order. This is the part number:
PIAA-19283 PIAA 168 WEDGE SUPER PLASMA GT-X BULB
If this is the one you're talking about, then I'll post pics of it when I get them tomorrow. Hope this helps.

Bulb Type H7
Wattage 55W = 110W XTRA, 4000K
Technology Xtreme White Plus
(Both Low and High Beam)
They are really white which is what I wanted. The stocks weren't really lighting the road up well enough for me. This will do until I step up to the bixenons.
I got these bulbs in the foglight which have a slight purple tint to them but when both lows and fogs are on at the same time, you can't tell the difference.
PIAA HB9005/9006 Light Bulb
5000K Super Plasma GTX
12V55W=110W.
I'm hoping the wedge bulbs(using them for the city lights) will match the fogs so that I can just run the fogs and city lights when cruzing around and turn the lows on when I need to. I'll post a variety of different pics so that you can see if you like them or not. Aloha!

Please forgive me. I'm not a photographer by any means. I tried my best to capture the true color of the light so that you could get an accurate look at it. As you suspected, they have a slight purple hue to them. I hope this helps you. I love the color. They matched up well with the foglights. If you want another angle, let me know. Sorry about the size. I tried to resize them but it doesn't look like it worked. Aloha!

hey thanks for posting those ..... they are what i expected but unfortunitly i dont think they will match my headlights. When looking at them from the front they look like they will but when you took that above picture, it doesnt look like it will match. Do they have a hint of blue at all in real person?
I did order them, ill try it out.

They don't have a hint of blue. The bulbs themselves are blue but the color they project aren't as you can see from the pics. I had the hoen wedge bulbs in before these and they gave off a very nice blue but didn't match very well with my lows or fogs so I'm going to use them as spares. I'll post pics of them if you want. But these pretty much have a purple hue. Good luck!!
