Try here for Piaa lights http://www.optauto.com/webstore/

I don't think you can get the Super Plasma's in H7 yet, they do make a Plasma Fx bulb but its rather hard to see things @ night with them.

There's a guy on Ebay who sells the Jap. version Super Plasma's for your high beams 9005/9006 he has the best price around $85.00

You might want to read this http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/info/bulbs/ before you actually go ahead and do this.

I agree. I used to have the "Blue HID-look" bulbs and they were crap. It spread the light out way too thin and everything was in a hard to see blueish tint. If you really want HID - get a real HID kit. But then you have to worry about the fact that our headlight housings aren't designed for HIDs....

Nightowl,

Do you mean you can get the OEM HID from a sport20 in Japan ? I am looking for HID as well, but those aftermarket kits are just gonna blind the traffic and I don't want it to be damn bright.

The shape may be the same but the entire design would be totally different. Halogen and HID designs project the light onto the road differently.
