Is PIAA pretty much it for Xenon looking headlights? If not, if so pics would be appreciated and any links to a website would be wonderful.

Also what size/wattage, etc. are those bulbs?

Thanks all!

I have HOEN's. They are $29.95 and look great. Check out my gallery and you'll see a head shot of them. They're easy to install too, if you're somewhat handy.

You want the 9006 ones. Click on the link below 9006 that says, "Order Now from 2co". They arrived in 2 days. They're 1/3 the price of PIAA's and don't give off that bluish hue that the PIAA's do. I think they're more white, which match my AngeliBrights and my xenons.

So it looks like you did the xenonmatch, did you look at the xenonmatch plus?

Keep in mind these are 3X as much as the HOEN's. Also, Dave from AIB suggests HOEN's over PIAA. Here's a picture of mine. They look identical to the PIAA's, if not a little more white and less blue and only cost $29.95 (I think PIAA is around $80-$90).
