PIAA Extreme White vs Platinum Super White

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm in the market again for another set of PIAA's. I did some research and saw the reviews on the Phillips Hi-Visibility bulbs so I picked up a pair. Those bulbs are better then the stock bulbs but (I cant help it, I'm spoiled now) they don’t hold a candle to my old PIAAs. Has someone here seen the difference between the Extreme White and Platinum Super White bulbs? I want to get the whitest bulb I can find.

Thanks,
Craig

Xtreme Whites are really white. They are much brighter than and much more whiter than the Platniums. The reason is because of the temperature.

I do not have any pictures available. Sorry, I have seen them compared to other bulbs like the Nokyas(crap bulbs), Hybrids(decent bulbs), and Raybrigs(another high quality bulb company) The Hybrids and Nokyas are bulbs that are cheap but do not last long at all. I would say the Nokyas in about a week and Hybrids about a couple of months. Raybrigs are good bulbs just like the PIAAs. They make all the other bulbs that PIAA does not make. These are my opinions based on what I have seen and tested. Hope that helps.

That does help a lot, thank you. I'll look into the Raybrigs today.

Have you heard of the Piaa Xtreme Force? It is more brighter/whiter than the xtreme white!

i picked up a pair of sylvania silverstars at Autozone... they are nice and white. Cheap too.

I have not seen these in comparison to the bulbs you mentioned, so i guess this doens't answer your original question... sorry.
