PIAA Super Plasma GT-X Bulbwww.piaa.comPIAA's new line of Super Plasma GT-X bulbs feature a purple low beam and PIAA's noted Xtreme White highs. Available in H4 and H3 (headlight) and HB (factory fog) bulbs, the Super Plasma GT-X provides a bluish-purple cast when operating normally, and a penetrating laser white when you want to piss off that douche who cut you off so he could jump into the carpool lane. All three bulbs use the manufacturer's patented XTRA technology, offering greater bulb output without increasing amperage draw. This bulb is primarily useful for headlamps in '92 to '03 Civics and '92 to '95 Del Sols, which are compatible with the H4 spec; 1990 to 2001 Integras can use the H3 bulb as a fog light bulb replacement.
