Title: PIAA Xtreme White - very disappointing
Product review: These are horrible bulbs, especially considering that PIAA is supposedly a world-class automotive lighting company. Instead of the super white advertised, the bulbs were tinted such dark blue that the light shows up a nasty shade of blue-green. The 1157 bulbs just don't put out that much power to begin with so the uncolored regular bulbs show up a bit yellowed (as with many incandescant bulbs), add the dark blue tinting, you get green-blue light. I also bought the 168 Xtreme White wedge bulbs from PIAA (same product line, different bulb)and they come out brilliantly - a slightly blue shade of white. I don't know why the 1157s were so terrible. This is including weeks of any "burn in" time they might've needed. The PolarG 1157s I tried after the PIAAs weren't perfect either, but much better than the PIAAs.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
