Default NYC Stores - PIAA

Anyone here in the nyc/nj area can recommend a store that sells PIAA - SUPER PLASMA 9006 for a good price? I went to several store along Queens Blvd but for some reason they don't carry the Super Plasma or the Yellow Ion. They only carry the superwhites.

I rather buy it from the store than wait a week or two for delivery online.


One last thing, I'm getting confused by all the "super white" , "extreme white", "extreme white plus" etc....

Can someone please explain to me ONE LAST time, is the Piaa Super plasma the "flagship" for the 9006 bulbs?? If I am correct it gives off a light around 5000k and the extreme white plus gives off roughly around 4100k?

I tried doing the search function on here for some pics but with no luck. Does anyone have pics of the super plasma in their GS foglights?

Thanks guys

hey

Have you tried Northern Blvd????? Where are you located anyways? I don't know for sure if the shops on Northern carry them, but it is worth a try. As for price....can't help you there. Your last resort could be Canal st in manhatten. I think a few places might have those.

Well Good Luck!

Don't try an auto parts store, but instead try a car stereo/alarm installation place cause sometimes they carry driving lights, fog lights and Piaa bulbs since they install them. They may have the bulbs.

Do these pics help?

From what I understand, the Super Plasma's are supposedly their best bulbs in terms of hid likeness. These super plasmas give off a slight purple tinge. The xtreme white bulbs has a slight blueish tinge to it. I put the super plasmas H3 in my fogs, and they looked amazing. After a while of having a slight purple tint, it turns amazingly white. It looked so good, I called all the shops on this island, and no one carried a 9006 bulb for my headlight. I ended up having one sent over from Japan. IMO, these bulbs make the Sylvania Silverstars look like normal bulbs. I'll post pics of these in my headlights as soon as i'm done polishing my headlights .
