Newbie with pics
I've been checking this site now and then for the past few months and finally registered. I know about half of you already from benzworld. Anyway, here are my pics. Don't mind the front wheels. They're not new pics. :p

Thanks! I don't know if I'll be doing anything else to it any time soon. Thinking about lowering and a set of AMGs maybe. I got clear corners for it a while ago but didn't like the way they looked on my color. How do you like your PIAAs? I've been looking into Silverstars for a while now but can't make up my mind.

PIAAs are good bulbs, no doubt. I had a set for turn signal bulbs on another car I own and there is no way you won't notice me signaling. However I have my own opinions on their headlight bulbs. Although very good in quality and bright as hell, you're paying more for the name and the importation of them than the bulbs themselves. I have tried both PIAAs and the Silverstars and both work the same. Not to mention you can get a set of Silverstar bulbs for a 1/3 of the cost of PIAAs. The PIAAs were nice but went out on me about 7 months down the road (and no, I did not touch the bulb). I've since installed Silverstars and I've had them for a little more than a year now and I am happy with the results.

Thanks for the infor NorCal. Do you happen to know anything about Osram Silver Stars? I've read on a couple sites that they were great too but I haven't heard anything from any costumer.

X03, if I hadn't returned them to the seller I would sell them to you. Check them out here: http://www.katmac.com/neww124cc.htm Pretty good price and they come with the silvervision bulbs which are really nice.

Well I would have to disagree with Silverstars being and performing better than PIAA's. What PIAA bulb/color did you get before? I've compared my light bulbs against my friends Silverstars on his VR6, and there is no comparison since PIAA wins that test. I haven't had any problems at all since the install. Some could agree that PIAA is one of the best bulbs out there, then again, some may not. It's all in the consumer, but overall...I like silverstars are far worst and the lighting output & color is poor. It's just like buying replacement bulbs.

If anyone wants to get PIAA bulbs for cheap. I know a really good ebay sellar that has a store with countless amounts of different PIAA bulbs. Let me know if you're interested. I got H4's and H3's all for 106 shipped. Considering that at stores such as Super Autobacs in garden grove they go about 60 bucks each.

What color corners do you want? Smoked, Clear, Crystal...what not. Let me know. I know where you can snag some and they are pretty good since I've already bought two from this one company.
