I bought (more than a year ago) my PIAA superwhites from www.autotoys.com.

I see they carry the xtremes but didn't look in detail for the 9006.

D-

The fogs (and non-HID lows) are 9006, which are 51w.

The brightest, just from extrapolating from Dave's fogs, which you see a comparison here....

Comparison pics in this thread

....would be the newer model, the PIAA Extreme White Plus.

This is the first place I found them (got my Polargs from them), but you should shop around....

You can do a general internet search for PIAA Extreme White Plus 9006 and maybe find them for less.

Take out the entire fog light housing, then the bulb, and brake out the yellow lens inside the housing with a screwdriver or something, then shake it out - DONE. 10min job, tops.

This has been written up by LexusRules on his website, with pics and all - can't remember where (url) he's moved it to recently.

bulb itself isn't yellow, it's white, its exactly the same as it goes to your regular headlights
