Need New Bulbs

Well the day finally happened. One of my low beams burnt out. I've had my PIAA SUper Plasmas for about 3 years in 2 different cars. Guess I can't complain.

Anyhow. I heard they don't make PIAA Super Plasmas anymore. I really liked the hint of blue they had. It wasn't enough to make cops follow me, but it looked good. So any suggestions on bulbs? What have you all used? Any that you didn't like?

Why would that be better? Just wonderin'. Stock bulbs don't pull that much.

I have a set of the Raybrig 5000ks, which are supposed to look similar to the Plasmas. They are ok, but the light output isn't great. I think you can still get the plasmas online from places that order overseas.

stock bulbs are better at lighting up the road in the rain, they arent a high wattage bulb, but with the $40 upgraded wiring/harness they put out A LOT more light and A LOT whiter.
its what i prefer, never said it was better.

Well I managed to find the PIAA Super Plasmas.
Now I just need to find a good price on them. Best so far is $70..... Any good places to shop aside from eBay?
