I know you all think I'm trying to stir the pot here, but that's not true. As I said, I used to be in the auxiliary lighting business, and have been through this time and again. My two largest dealers were Hella and PIAA distributors, so I had access to everything in their catalogue, and still have a pretty good collection of aftermarket bulbs and lighting in my shop. I have run the PIAA Platinum and XTreme White series bulbs side by side with 100-watt bulbs in identical lamps. Once you see the difference, there is no question; there is no substitute for power.

The PIAA Platinum bulbs - don't waste your money. Pure bling.

I'm going to step out of this discussion now, because I don't want to be a pain in the ***. I would, however, encourage you all to read Mr. Stern's article again carefully.

Cheers

Oh, and the invitation is open to everyone
