Anyone know the difference between "PIAA Xtreme White Plus 9006" and the "PIAA Platinum Super White 9006"?

Matching fogs? PIAA 1100X?

Is it fairly easy to install these on a C5?

Any info would be greatly appreciated...as usual.

 

Not sure on the difference. I have the PIAA super whites. Made a difference. What really put it over the top though was the 1100x. These things are soo bright that I dont even use my headlights anymore.

Install is a breeze. To change the headlights you remove the light cover, and get a small pair of hands in there... bulbs twist in and out.

For the foglamps there are several thoughts... Here is how I did mine.
removed the stock lamp.
used the stock bracket to mounth the PIAA 1100x
cut the pigtail on the 1100x 's wire harness
splice into existing wires from factory harness.

Total time for headlight install 1 hour
Total time for fog light install 2 hours

This was my first time doing it... so I am sure I can do it faster if I was to do it again.

The difference is the temperature of the light produced i.e the color of the light. Some light is yellow (cooler) and the hotter the color is the more white towards blue the color goes.

 

So do I need 4 bulbs? Low beam/High beam?

 

if you were to do highs and low, you will need 4 bulbs (2 sets). I never use my highs, so I only did my lows. If you have the 1100x's you wont need to use high beams.

 

I replaced all of the lights. I used PIAA Xtreme white for my high and low beams, and used PIAA 1100x for the fog lights.

I also wired it so when my high beams are on, so are the low beams and the fog lights.

The 1100x are so bright you will love them.

 

I have had the PIAAs on my 99 and my 02 Z06 and love them! :yesnod:

Here is an install write up that will utilize the factory switch for the foglights as it is fairlyu simple.
Sorry I dont know about the difference between the models you have mentioned as you may want to call PIAA to see what they say...

Here’s how to install PIAA fog lights on a Z06 using OEM hardware. This tip should also work on a FRC as well.
Parts list:
2- bolts part # 11514623
2- nuts part# 10281487
1- switch part# 12135155
1- lt fog lamp part# 10438855
1- rt fog lamp part# 10438856

You may want to fabricate your own brackets or find some other way to mount the fog lights since you cannot buy just the brackets alone. The factory lamps themselves are pretty pricey and you will be tossing the lights out anyways.
1. Pry off the trunk release switch and replace with the new fog light/trunk release switch.
2. Raise the headlights. Disconnect the battery.
3. Locate the fuse box next to the battery. Remove the fuse cover and locate the fog light relay. It should be #39. Remove the nut that holds the fuse block. On the sides of the fuse panel, there are 4 tabs that hold the fuse block down. Carefully pry the tabs away and at the same time pull up on the fuse block.
4. Under the #39 relay you will see a thin purple wire. Take wire harness from the PIAA lights and locate the on/off switch and cut it off. Tape up the thin black wire. Take the thin white wire from the harness and splice it in with the purple wire under the #39 relay.
5. Connect the thick white wire on the harness to the auxiliary 12v connection on the fuse block. Connect the thick black wire to a grounding point. There is one right on the frame rail next to the hood strut.
6. Route the wire harness toward the front of the car. You may want to use black split wire loom to cover the harness and give it a factory look.
7. Remove the fog lights from the bracket. Mount the PIAA lights to the factory fog light bracket by swiveling the base on the PIAA light 90 degrees and bolting it to the bracket.
8. Remove the headlight bezel. There are three screws holding it in place.
9. Locate the factory mounting point on the frame. You should see a rectangular cutout with a small hexagonal opening below it.
10. Push the nut through the hexagonal opening and hang the light assembly off the rectangular opening. Now bolt it down. Don’t worry, when you bolt the lights down, the sleeve on the nut will compress, holding it in the frame.
11. Connect the lights, reconnect the battery and aim the lights.
