Default Raybrig r109 same as r166? Raybrig vs PIAA?

Just wondering if the raybrig r109 is the same as the raybrig r166 because i can't find the 166 anywhere.

Also, which is better to match halo yellow foglights in clear housings, raybrig's or PIAA's?

I will be using the bulbs in the inner lights as well as my clear side markers.


thanks!

PIAA's are definately a clean bumble bee yellow, im currently using Nokya 9005's for the highbeam/drl and they are a hint lighter than the piaa's, but since i have piaa's in the wedge they help bighten up the 9005's. i purchased a set of 9005 + 9006 nokya yellows for 34.00 shipped. if interested ill try to snap a few photos tonight for color comparison for you.

Your nokya's are yellow or just regular? I want to pick up some halo 9005 in yellow for my drl/high beams to go along with the yellow wedges and fogs.

Pics are ALWAYS welcome!

nokya are yellow, not the amber oem color bulbs... just that if you compare it with PIAA, the color of the piaa's are richer and darker yellow compared to nokya which is 1 shade lighter.

Cool thanx.

I just got done putting in a set of halo super yellow 9005's in the DRL/highbeams and ordered 2 sets of yellow raybrig r109 for the sides and inners...

Yellow DRL's arent that bright/yellow but in highbeam mode, looks DOPE!
