Hey guys im tossing between the following two PIAA low beams:

1. PIAA Intense White (4100k)
2. PIAA Extreme white plus (4000k)

Overall which is better in terms of light output and colour? and are they both legal in Aus?

Also im going to buy them from either Amazon UK or US. Will there be any issue with fitment, power rating etc?

Make sure they're the right wattage and correct connector.
... here is the Lancer bulb list... stickied at the top of this forum anyway.... http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=224

Head light, high beam: 60watts bulb: 9005 HB3
Head light, low beam: (halogen bulb) 51watts bulb: 9006 HB4
front foglight: 55watts bulb: H11

As for 4000k & 4100k, you'll be hard pressed to pick the difference between the two.

What does the PIAA website with regards to the two? What is so different between the two..

Personally I have Philips Crystal Visions which are 4300k - they're white enough as it is. The lower the kelvins the warmer the colour (red/yellow) and the higher the kelvins the more cooler the colour (white -> blue).

as for legal? What you mean? What concerns specifically do you have about possible illegality of these bulbs?
