PIAA Crystal Ions are great! I have them in my foglight. They are bright yellow.
The rest of PIAAs (HID Look alikes) are crap IMHO. It's all in science. The HIDs runs at 4300k. Regular lights around 3200 ish (or is it 3600)? If you put a blue filter for 4300 range on a 3200k light bulb, your output will be a hell of a lot dimmer. I think the actual output is around 30-35% of wattage. So, if you have a 85W HID look alike light, you are only getting about 30W ish. Beware of what you are getting.

If I were you, I'd pay a little extra and get a philips HID kit. They are only running around 500 bucks now.
