Question

in order to get that bright and HID look?? Has anyone try the PIAA superplasma??? Anyone got some suggestions? I recently bought some aftermarket HID and I want to get something to match that...already got the raybrigs for the inner light which looks somewhat funky since my HID is white with a hint of halogen and the lil raybrigs are quite blue...

PIAA is good, but what is EVEN BETTER is called "Mega White" made from korea.

I have tested both PIAA and MEGA WHITE and mega white BLOWS away PIAA. there is one downside.

1)PIAA will last longer for ex: PIAA lasts 1 year, the MW will last 6-7 months.

I sacrificed the longevity for looks. Believe me, once you get MW you will look you have FOUR headlights.

trust me get MEGA WHITE.

Mega white should be sold ANYWHERE that PIAA is sold. It cost me around $60. This is the MOST whitest bulb you are going to get.

Disc, not thats not "Exactly" it. The one I had was 9006 12V 55W. Also mine cost $60 where your website was only $20?? :eek:

On the box it exactly says

HID FEELING
MEGA WHITE
HIGH POWERED HALOGEN


^^^^^^ Thats exactly the order of it.


the # on the side of the box is CLW 9006WHITE

hope this helps.

The one i got was the best looking light I EVER SEEN.

I asked already before I bought these. These are the highest voltage that they carry.

Default Mega Whites

I am not sure if these are the same ones that Diesel has been talking about.

9006 80w Mega White 2000 Bulb

They are from Korea. Sounds like the same bulb, but only cost $10.98 each. They say these emit the same Xenon brightness as the HID's on the new GS430. I have placed an order and can update. I purchased two sets since they were so inexpensive.

The web site is www.classicgarage.com

I performed a seach for CLW 9006 and it came up.

I am new to this club. I have emailed Bliu, Steve Gantz, Racing Aristo and met Benny. Nice group of people. I am still bone stock, but working on some things soon.

2001 GS430, 17", ML.

Hey, do you have any pics of that? I've never seen that before and if it looks good I might get it. Also to be HID does it have to be WHITE color only? Or could it be yellow.

Knguyen, if your talking about the same kind of bulbs, I'm going back to the store and taking my money back Though mine was only 55 watts compared to the 80w that your talking about. My was frickin bright as my HID's. So imagine 80WATTS !!:eek: :eek:

Default 80W Bulbs

Here is some info on the Mega White. I ordered some - hasn't arrived yet still. for $20.00 I won't ***** if they were white, it costs more than that for a regular pair anyways. Can always use some extras

The site is: www.classicgarage.com

9006 & 9005 with STRAIGHT Base (pair) $29.96
Finally here, straight-base 9006 and 9005 style bulbs for many newer applications, including PT Cruiser! These come as a pair of Plasma Xenon gas-filled bulbs which produce an HID, or Mega-White light. The glass is blue, however the light emitted is white. 9006 are 80w, 9005 are 100w, for off-road use only. Made in Korea by Eaglelite, bulbs carry a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Price is for 1 pair (2 pieces) of bulbs.

Question Burnt harness???

I believe the stock (fog) bulbs are 12V 55W. Using a 80W bulb will cause the harness to burn-out.

Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!
