I just looked on the PIAA website and apparantly, they have a new wedge bulb that supposed to be even a closer match to the HIDs. They are the wedge Xtreme super white bulbs. I haven't seen these bulbs yet. I just wanted to let all you know before you guys bought the wedge bulbs.

Persario:
yep i replaced my DRL ... HB3/9005 .... now the driver side's light is "higher" than the left !
Biggie:
i bought Polarg M6 ... and they don't fit !!!! ahhhhh
they can plug in fine, but the bulbs are too big to fit in the holes !
did you force them in or something ???

So I get my new wedge bulbs in the mail today. Start looking through the wires, trying to figure out exactly how they need to be installed. Once I've got it down, I pull out the old bulbs, and then break out the new ones. As I'm trying to handle them w/ a paper towel instead of my fingers, I dropped the bulb. :eek: crunch. So I've got a set of those new Xtreme super whites on the way, and I made it two sets, just in case. I'll let you guys now how they come out.

Sorry to bring back a thread from 10 years ago...Hah
BUT...Presario- (if you still have your GS, lol)..are your HID's OEM !?
(they look more BLUE in the pics)
The PIAA Super Plasma bulbs seem to match PERFECTLY, I think that's what I'm going to try. (right now- I have 5-smd LED's in the night-time driving lights and they're TOO BLUE/PURPLE compared to the HID lowbeams.

HaydenGS,
You replaced your DRLs? Do you mean you replaced your high beams or the inner night time lights? I'm taking a wild guess you're really pissed. Exactly what did you replace and with what bulb?
Sorry about the late reply. The PIAA wedge bulb is the Super Plasma - i tried the PIAA platinum, plasma blue, and the super plasma and the Super Plasmas are the best match. The Plasma blue looked too blud tinted which made the inner lights look tacky next the the HIDs. As for the Polarg, I've seen it I have to admit that they are a lot brighter- It matches the HIDs very well but on my car, I wanted the inner lights to be subtle and not too bright. The level of light and color I wanted was best matched by the PIAA super plasma. Hope that helped!
