Gen5 PIAA 9006 Bulbs?

Hey, im looking for some new headlight bulbs for my 2005 toyota camry le. im currently using 9006 sylvania silverstar ultra's and they suck at night, not alot of light. Ive been looking into PIAA bulbs, which is the best one? Intense white or extreme white plus , i want them to look as close white as possible, like white H.I.D's, but without a retrofit for hid's. do you guys think the hop over to PIAA will be alot better than the silverstar ultra's?

I would avoid the PIAA's. Yes they do look good but only last about a year of normal use. And spending $50+ a year on those is way too much for my taste.

^ Partially true, I've been using PIAAs for over 3 years until I had to change them. I guess it depends how much you drive it your lights on.

Luminics are good, so are Nokya and Koitos. Koitos are good, had them over 3 years as well before I decided to change them again, but haven't blown out yet.

Osrams are pretty good too, pricey though.

Well I guess it depends. For me I would turn them on an hr in the morning while going to work and then at night while driving. The first time I thought it was a fluke but the 2nd time that it happened I knew they weren't long lasting, at least for me.

I have PIAA Extreme White Plus. The light output is pretty good.

Do any of you guys recall somebody posting on this forum before about the Nokya bulbs melting their stock wires?

That was in regards to the Nokya 2500k yellow bulbs for the fogs.
