TWO PIAA Headlight questions: Please help!

[jedi]

Ok, first, I'm asking for a set of replacement bulbs for my D Cab Tacoma. I'm looking at two sets of PIAAs. By opinion, which of the two are better? The Xtreme White Plus bulbs (H4) or the PIAA Super plasmas (H4)?

Next question, when selecting my correct vehicle on tire rack (for the PIAA bulbs) it has two options; Double cab Tacoma WITH TPMS and WITHOUT TPMS... what the heck is TPMS?

TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System, I have no idea why they need to know this for bulbs.

TPMS is standard on all 06+

Ok thanks man. Anyone on the first question?

The super plasmas have a slight blue/purple tint. The extreme whites are pretty much just white. The whitest ones I've seen are PIAA Mirror Platinums.

I have the Super Plasmas. I really like them. Nice and bright, but look different.. Have sort of a purple, HID type tint to them.

Cool, cool. I like the sound of the Plasmas. Are the two lights much brighter than stock? Keep the opinions coming. Thanks guys. I love Christmas!!

I have 2 xtreme whites mounted on the roof rack of my Honda Element, they are extremely bright and extremely white... the headlights are SilverStars so you can compare them to that:

They are both brighter than stock, but I think the Xtreme Whites light up the road a little better. JMO

I just bought the piaa extreme white+ H4 headlights and the super plasma 9005 fogs. They are brighter and whiter than stock. I'll post some pics tonight, I was going to take some last night but the batteries in the cam died

Super Plasmas, works the wonders!

It'll probably boil down to personal opinion. What "look" do you want - white with a touch of blue, or whiteish purple. Both will perform very well; probably better than stock. As Pb points out, you might get better visual performance from the Whites since (IMO) the more blue and purple in the bulb tends to reduce effectiveness for nighttime illumination.

Where's the pics? I am trying to decide.

I'll post my pics tonight. I just put Super Plasma H4 and Super Plasma 9005 for fogs. The h4 have a purple tint to them and the fogs are just bright white. I'll post for sure tonight when I get home.
