Can someone please explain to me what difference the new bulbs are going to make?

Sorry, but I haven't been following this and would like to know.

Thanks.

- EBAY - there are several sellers of PIAA bulbs

-DRL - PIAA wedge bulb 194 - this type SUPER TERA comes with its own balast ( plus a resistor to trick the board computer - because led bulbs consume less power than regular ones and the computer might feel there is no bulb there)

$60-80 for parking lights is too much. I'd just go with the PIAA Extremes or Polarg Hyper White for $10
