Tried & Tested: PIAA headlight bulbs

PIAA HE303 H4 XTREME WHITE PLUS BULBS - H4 60/55=110/100W

PIAA have long been regarded as the number one manufacturer of headlight bulbs for cars and as Direct Car Parts have recently become authorised stockist of PIAA bulbs, wipers and other lighting accessories we thought that we'd better try the bulbs for ourselves to see if they really deserve their cult status!

PIAA's Xtreme white headlight bulbs replaced our standard Osram H4 bulbs and the difference was clear to see, a cool crisp white light with a slight hint of blue. PIAA claim that these bulbs offer near HID lighting quality and we weren't disappointed. Although the performance is reflected in the price of these bulbs we still think that for anyone who spends any amount of time driving in the dark, PIAA bulbs are well worth the extra money. These bulbs must be as close as it's possible to get to maximum light output whilst still remaining road legal.

Would we recommend PIAA bulbs? - Definitely!
