Re:9004 bulbs
I just bought some 80/100's for my truck made by Matrix, had them on for 2 days and held both bright and dim on and blew the right bulb out. Be careful who you buy from, these were only $25 for the pair, so I don't feel too bad. I will say the 80/100 combo is good for folks that have bad eyes at night like I do.

anybody looked into these<br><br>http://www.piaa.com/9000seriesbulbs.html<br><br>I was thinking of getting a set says they're equivilent to a 95/120 .....<br><br>so the heat would be down and the current draw would be lower too so you don't burn up your headlight cct<br><br>I'll have to phone and see what they're worth ........

I have PIAA in my 93 and my 96. <br><br>The 9004 PIAA's are a little expensive and I don't know that I would buy them again. They are the Extreme Plus bulbs and were $132 CDN... The beam quality is better and the light is whiter and appears brighter, I just can't speak in quantitative terms.<br><br>The PIAA ads are a little miss leading.. I remember a good post on the TDR about lights and how a company studies all the bulbs coming out and finding that the hyper-white bulbs aren't all they are made out to be. The "brightness" to the eye is due to the extra blue hue, not more wattage.<br><br>Its all a matter of opinion I guess. But I have found the Cool Blues by Sylvania are about as bright as some of the low end PIAA.<br><br>Good luck on the search for better bulbs. Anything is better than the stockers IMHO...LOL..<br><br>J-eh

Ive had the PIAA's and the Hella's, I don't think I'd buy PIAA's again, kind of expensive, I do like the hella's allthough they are up there too. Just seem to be a better light for the money to me. Same goes for the aftermarket lights, as the bulbs.

I want to know if a 80/100 watt bulb will be ok or would it possibly generate too much heat for the plastic lens. I'm interested in upgrading. Thanks
