PIAA extreme white H3, buy a few sets as they wont last long but they get you a bit closer to the whiter color. Hoen wont be making H3 again until later in the year.

55w is all you should run, 55=110w is marketing hype from piaa, it drawning 55w and thus will be fine.

Thanks again gmoney, they had no PIAA in stock so I went with Sylvania SilverStar series H3 Ultra White 55w. I'll let you know if they're good once installed.

I just ordered a pair of the dled for the turbo. Install was quick but I noticed they are not bright at all! Not even close to any of the pics you guys have posted. Perhaps I have a faulty pair?

I'll post pics later today so you can see them.

I would not say mine are bright at all, but they match the low beams pretty good. You wont get close to the brightness of the stock ones with an LED. Night time they are plenty bright though but they are city lights, they are not designed to project much light.

See attachments. The lights are "On" in these pics. As you can see, no where near as bright as the pics posted by other members on this thread and/or your video.

Is this normal?

they don't look so bad at night. I guess I was hoping for better brightness during the day, sort of like how the full LED DRL assembly looks (think Delrey customs, and the likes)

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/027...g?v=1381952842

Are they just using higher powered LEDs? I see 997.2's and 997.1's with upgraded DRLs running around with super bright LED's during the day, you can see them from a mile away.

p.s. I'll upload the pics I took from last night when I get into a better coverage area.

It's a little deceiving. In person they match up quite well (color wise). The picture was taken with an iPhone which meters the white balance in favor of the LED.

I'm disappointed in the brightness during the day however.
