I just finished wiring up my fogs so they work at the same time as the high beams. Anyway I want to upgrade the lights I will probably go with the blazer 3200's. I know about the PIAA's for the headlights are there any others that are comparable to them?

Yeah I'm sortta confused about this also...cuz a lot of people say don't waste the time with PIAAs, go with something else like Eurolite or others. I know the big key is to not touch the bulb. :)

Course I'm looking for the pure white, not the blue type...I don't know if that would make a difference then or not.

I've put Sylvania SilverStar bulbs in my headlights and I think they're great. They don't give out a blue light so they don't look ricey but they're bright as hell, at least twice as bright as the stock ones.

Plus you get free express shipping when you buy them straight from Sylvania (they got here before I received the shipping confirmation email, that's how express it was!) :)

I've got APC superwhites in my headlights. I know a lot of people don't like APC (and they do make some crap) but they make some good stuff too. I haven't had any problems with my bulbs, and I love the color (bright white with a slight blue tint).

As for foglights, I wouldn't get the blazertechs. Too expensive for stock looking lights IMO. I'd spend a little more for some PIAA's or CATZ. Better looking, better lighting.

I strongly recommend staying away from PIAA! A lot of people have had nothing but problems with them. Eurolites are really sweet! You can get a pair off e-bay for $20!!! I'd just say go with them. Someone once told me that Sylvania bulbs aren't all that good but I've only heard it from one person so yeah... I also recommend the same wattage bulb for the healights becasue I beleive the PIAA's are a higher wattage than stock and they blow a lot. I had a set that were a higher wattage and one blew out as well. When you change your light bulb make sure that you wipe it off with Rubbing alcohol to get the grease off that your fingures left. Even if oyu don't touch them do it because it will help them last longer!

I have had PIAA's in my car since mid-January, and I have had no problems what so ever! :thumbs:

I like them a lot cause they are brighter white, and I have carbon fiber headlight covers, and they still look a bit brighter then stock to me, with the covers on! I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any light when I had the carbon fiber covers on!
I love them...!

I had Eurolites and they blew a high beam out the first day and set off a SVS light. :rage: so I don't like eurolites now!

I have heard that if you change to piaa's then you might also have to change your relay. I don't know if that is true...just something I heard.

I just went back from the eurolights to stock.. I noticed I had a headlight out, so, I opened them up, and lo and behold, BOTH the connectors to the bulbs were burnt to a crisp. And they were the same output wattage..

DUnno if its the same with GA;s and Aleros, but a LOT of Alero owners have had this happen.

Burning stuff in/on my car is not good.
