    I'm not even sure why I even have these as I have Xenon headlights.

    Never used, obviously. The PIAA Blurb

    PIAA Xtreme White Plus replacement bulbs combine technology, quality and style to enhance a vehicle’s lighting system and help make night and inclement weather driving as safe as possible. Kelvin rating of 4000K for a cool white nearly blue color. 55watts per bulb put out 110 watts total.

    PIAA Xtreme White Plus driving light bulbs project a brilliant cool white light that comes very close to the color of expensive High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems. Xtreme White Plus headlight bulbs feature PIAA Xtra high efficiency design that produces greater light output than their rated power consumption (for example, a bulb that consumes 45/65W of electricity has a light output that is similar to most 95/120W bulbs).

    Really considering... Not sure how it would differ though, I usually use my fogs on all the time anyways. The color difference between the two might just drive me insane...

    These bulbs are PIAA #17655 I believe. On a 1st Gen car they are used for the bright beams and double as the daytime running lights (at some lower voltage).
    So how do they differ from the OEM bulbs?
    1. For the daytime running lights, they will have low lumens and give a yellow light, but not as yellow as OEM.
    2. For the brights, they will give a light that is a little brighter than OEM with a better color, more white and closer to HID color. They do not look blue at all.

    The 2nd Gen bulbs are H13. 4000's are super bright.
