Question PIAA Super Plasma GTX Bulbs?

I installed some new headlight bulbs that look great, they're a very pure white color. Next to the beautiful headlights are the oem parking light bulbs. As you can imagine, the color of those bulbs is very "dirty". I want a good pair of bulbs that are a pure white, just like my headlight bulbs. I don't mind spending a little money if that's what it takes. After checkin around I found these PIAA Super Plasma GTX Bulbs (size 168). Has anyone heard anything about these bulbs, or better yet, used them yourself?

I used them, they blew in conjunction with my headlights a few months ago - weird. They cost too much in my opinion. Look at LEDs. There are quite a few posts on this.

Hmmmm...I have the PIAA GT-X bulbs, but in my headlights not parking lights. I LOVE them, as I love all PIAA products I have ever own. My car has nearly $200 in PIAA bulbs. They last forever!

Around 80 for the low beams, 80 for the high beams, and 30 for the fogs.
