Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

I just ordered a set of white PIAA 168 LED wedge bulbs for the parking lights from the website posted below. They are located in California, and I am in CT. I ordered them on Monday, and I received them today (Friday). The guy was very nice, and I felt comfortable ordering. They were sent in good shape. Check it out:

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

Are these for the clearence strip lights?

How come there are two options to choose white? Are they different kinds of white? And what is Blue/White?

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

yes can go in the clearance strip. thats where i have mine. white white are the ones that have the least amount os blue in them when they are on. white blue has one white led and one blue led and are pretty blue when they are on. blue blue has 2 blue leds in them and are really blue. read lights the final answer thread. it has a lot of pictures of the different leds in them.

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

look at

Import Performance

they are cheaper ($10.87) and if your order is over $40.00, you get free shipping. They are in NY, so no sales tax for those outside NY.

Edit: Just checked their website and I don't see the free shipping anymore. But overall, I'm sure they are cheaper than anywhere else. I ordered 5 sets from them and got it within a week. No probelms whatsoever.

Post pics after install. I'd like to see how they compare to the stock HID color.

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

I just installed them today on my sedan. They look great. The light is a very pure white with a very slight tinge of blue. They match the HID's very well. The only thing about them is that because there are 2 led bulbs in them, from the side, you can't see the light coming out of the bulb very bright, but at night the reflectors do the work. The light is very intense when you are standing in front of them, however. There are some pics in the links below.

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

Here's a pic of the 168 Ion Crystals. I think in Afro's post they were much more orange, matching for the blinker/stock corner marker. Here they are quite yellow, Q.E.D.

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

Here's the direct link for $10.87.

Link

Note that they are the PIAA 168 Extreme White. I think the $18.15 price you are looking at are for the LEDS

Here pics of mines installed. Clearance and clear corners are PIAA 168 Extreme White. Also changed the fogs out to Sylvania Silverstars

Ooops!!!

Just noticed the first post was for LED bulbs. My mistake. I guess the first link provided is cheaper. In either case, I'm happy with the regular PIAA Xtreme White.

Happy hunting.

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

Whats the difference between the regular 168 bulbs and the LED's?

Are the regular one's brighter?

Re: Good price on PIAA 168 LED bulbs!

The LED's are much more intense than the regular 168 bulb. I used the 168 LED's as my parking or "city" lights when I did an HID conversion on my sedan. It looks pretty good if you are straight in front of the car, but as others have said, the light is very intense and concentrated. the LED does not fill the reflector with light as did the regular 168 bulb. I also got the white/white but there does seem to be a blue/purple tint to it in the reflector-but not if you are looking at the light head-on.
