PIAA's quality has deteriorated over the years. The price point they have set for themselves can no longer be justified considering similar offerings from companies such as Philips and Osram perform better, and are affordable.

PIAA still makes good bulbs, but not like they used to..

i have the PIAA Superplasma GT-X bulbs on my head lamp in my Yaris right now, before i got that ,i tried many American brands of bulb, specially the SliverStar thing, it sucked balls, doesnt even look white, it LOOK YELLLOW like oem and coast me $39 w tax, it it a rip off, then i got the PIAA one for lil more cost, BUT they give me the color of the light i wanted and look just like HID, all my friend are very impress with how my head light looks, PIAA cost more than any other brands BUT, they provide the awsome qulity of light soure i have seen, thats why i say PIAA is top of the brands

Sylvania Silverstars are crappy bulbs; light output is less than stock and they are not very bright.

If you are going for the HID look, Philips Blue Vision is my suggestion. They cost less than half of PIAA GT-X bulbs, but perform better. These are German made bulbs and are very good. The light output is less than that of stock because of the blue coating, but they are brighter than stock.

PIAA makes great bulbs, I just don't like them anymore
