Before you go spending $125 on PIAA's, what new bulbs are you considering? If you want xenon match bulbs, instead of paying for HIDs, I would go with HOEN's. Member katheika has tried every bulb out there and said that HOEN's are identical to everything else out there and the best deal (I referred him to those bulbs ). Anyway, they're $29.95 and look great.

Yep, that's what you requested above, right?

Hoen xenonmatch bulbs. http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm

You want the 9006's. And yes, these are white, hence the reason they call them "xenon match".

I almost went with PIAA's or Xenesis, but Dave (owner of CustomAngelEyes) told me to get these bulbs instead. They're 1/4 of the price and IDENTICAL to the others. Member Katheika got 4 different manufacturers and tested all 4. He said all 4 were identical and the HOEN's were the best price so it wasn't worth going for anything else...unless of course, you go the HID route.

The Predator Xenix HyperMatch are also 29.95 a pair and are "Xenon-Like Color Output". I wonder if Katheika also compared these whaich are available form Umnitza. ??? Anyone know the full story on these lights?

Stock xenons are D1S 4300K.

Good news for you is that you can udpate them to 6000K.

You can even email us - since we don't list D1S 6K bulbs on the site, but have them in stock.
