Piaa H7 Xtreme White Plus Halogen Bulb (Pack Of 2)

I bought these PIAA H7 headlights and their H11 fog lights for my Mazda. And I’m so glad that I did. The light is extremely bright, just like they advertised. And there’s a slight bluish-yellow tint to them. After doing a lot of research online, I learned that these PIAA bulbs are much better than the LEDs that I was considering. There are three extremely important reasons for that.

1) These bulbs project their bright light much farther down the road than any LEDs that I’ve researched. Yes, LEDs are technically brighter than these bulbs, but LED light cannot project as far into darkness. Living on a country road in the middle of Alaska, light “distance” is critical during our long dark winter.

2) The color tint of these bulbs make it much easier to see in the snow. That’s because the color adds some contrast. Whereas, non-tinted light simply makes snow look even whiter. And that’s dangerous, because when you’re driving in the dark and everything is covered with bright white snow, it’s already hard enough to see where the roadway is. Imagine having LEDs that are even whiter and don’t have the color-tint to provide any contrast. Everything with snow on it would appear bright white… making it impossible to see vehicle tracks in the snow ahead of you, or see where the edge of the road is.

3) Unlike LEDs, these bulbs get warm enough to keep snow from freezing to your headlights. Without the heat from bulbs, vehicle headlights can easily become covered in a snow storm… especially up here where it gets down to 50 degrees below zero. Unfortuantely, a lot of folks with LED headlights in cold regions are learning that lesson the hard way.

For those three reasons, I bought these PIAA lights. I’m super happy with them. And I definitely recommend them.

Son bastante caras pero se nota la diferencia, aunque no duran mucho más de 3 años.

Se cercate luci gialle sono perfette. Avrei potuto acquistarle per 2€ in negozio ma ho preferito spenderne 100€.
A parte l’ironia sulla giulietta sono giallissime. Poi sembra facciano anche una buona luce. Farò il reso
Do 5 stelle perché ho letto commenti e foto ed altri utenti si sono trovati bene. Sulla giulietta quasi tutte le luci sembrano gialle

OK, I have been using & selling PIAA’s for 30 years in Race Cars & drivers.
PIAA H7 Xtreme White Plus are not for everyone. They will only last about 6 months, if you keep you lights on for safety.
With the idiots out there, I highly suggest that you do.
I use these in my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Limited with low beam projectors, that with factory stock bulbs you were driving by BRAILLE.
These Xtreme White Plus double your output vision with a true white light which actually allows you to see the road. Here is the rub. They cost some $$$.
Here is an alternative that will last as long as the PIAA’s for about $20 less with the same light output.
Philips RacingVision GT200 H4 Headlight Bulbs (Twin) 12342RGTS2 Xtreme Vision Upgrade.
So, if you can change your own bulbs, I suggest that you save some $$$.
PIAA’s come with a 1-year warranty so keep your receipt.
Philips come with a 3-month warranty so keep your receipt. But they will last at least 6 months same as the PIAA’s
Collecting on the warranty is a pain in the butt per say. It will take a month to get your replacement’s.
So be prepared to order another set in the mean time. Replace as a pair. If 1 goes out the other will be right behind it. I found that by doing so you will end up with a used pair after a year that will survive til you get your replacemnts

I love these Xtreme White bulbs. I’ve tried around a dozen different brands/types of street legal bulbs and these are by far the brightest/best light. I’ve used the PIAA bulbs for over 5 years – the only reason that I didn’t give these a 5 star rating is that they only seem to last 6-12 months and are quite expensive to keep replacing. I’ve had them in 5 different cars with the same issue (confirming the bulbs burning out is not because of the car)” Toyota Matrix, Ford Focus, Hyundai Veracruz & Santa Fe, and Nissan Pathfinder. Again, loved the brightness in all of these vehicles but had the same short bulb life issues.

Not as bright as advertised, but still providing a “white” hue over stock bulbs. Road visibility increased when I installed these. I have them on a car that uses day time running lights so life expectancy is a concern. Will update when they burn out.

Edit: 1/3/14. My driver side bulb burnt out last night. I called PIAA and is waiting on a warranty claim.

Installed 10/25/23
Died 1/2/14

Edit 1/5/14. The second bulb finally dies.

I am extremely disappointed at the longevity of the product. For the bulbs to burn out in less than 3 months is very disappointing.

I am in disgust, currently waiting on PIAA customer service to provide me with some replacement bulbs.
