seems like most are opting for 60+ dollar PIAA and few 20bucks auto part deals
I picked up a couple off ebay for 7bucks from local seller will pick up monday
i figure if it doesnt work it wont be a too much loss^^
i was trying to find out if those PIAA were just brighter halogen or HID but no luck

Amazon has a good price on the bulbs.

I am curious - you say 55/80 in your description. Which is it? Am I correct that the Spyder does NOT have two filaments in the bulb? but uses a shutter system to allow the light beam to raise and lower? I am confused to say the least. Please help

You are correct on your assessment of the Spyder headlight. PIAA and some other manufacturers use this designation method to indicate the theoretical output of the bulb. A 55/100W lamp uses 55W but supposedly puts out the equivalent light of a 100W lamp. It would be more reassuring if they just listed the output in lumens. I will admit that the PIAAs are brighter than the stock 55W lamp bulb in my BMW, however. No experience with other brands. I think some of the "brighter" effect is due to the color change, and it is just easier for us to see detail when we add the additional wavelengths to bring the light from yellowish toward white.
