PIAA Lights??

Hey guys I got hyperwhite fog lights and now i need to change my stock headlights becuase it just looks wrong to have hyperwhite fogs and stock dim headlights
so I was wondering what lights I should get. I was figuring PIAA's 9000 platinum series lights, but does that match hyperwhite fogs? And are they long lasting?
i've seen sylvania stars they don't seem to be as white as hyperwhite so what should I get??
Thanks!

5000k HIDs is what u should get . but if thats not in your price range, PIAA's should match pretty well, actually. however, paying 90 bucks for bulbs may seem unreasonable and may burn out quite quickly from what i have experienced and have heard from other people. silverstars may be your best bet even if the color is a little off. if you want, try looking for philips bluevision bulbs in 9007.. i've only heard good things about them.

i have PIAA platinum bulbs and they are great. A hyperwhite model is out (i bought my bulbs like 2 yrs. ago) and they should match your fogs well.

Thumbs up just installed MTEC 80/100W bulbs

This afternoon I dropped one in and took some pics to compare it against the stock bulb. Much whiter and a little brighter. After 45 min of driving the headlight case and the wires are still only warm, so prob no need to upgrade the harness. Will post pics in a new thread soon.

I had PIAA hyperwhites for about a year before the left low beam burned out on me. No complaints otherwise, but that's a $50 complaint...

They match the PIAA hyperwhite 1156s very well on a side note.
