Fog light: PIAA vs Nokya

Just wanted to see people opinions on two fog lamps.

The PIAA H11 Plasma Ion Crystal Yellow (55 x 110 watt) $51.00
vs

$16 Nokya H11 Car Headlight Bulb (S1) NOK7618.

Nokya H11 Hyper Yellow Light Bulbs (55 watt? package shows 80 watts) $21.00


There is a large cost difference on these are the PIAA that much better.


Going on a 2012.

 

Anyone have either of these?

 

I have the same question. Subb'd

 

Ive had Nokya ones before, yellow ones arent any brighter but their xenons are horrible. Dimmer than stock.
The PIAA ones are pretty good if you dont mind the price. Another brand I like is Luminics, theyre also pretty cheap.

 

I've had the Nokya ones before and really liked them. I've got PIAA's in my headlights and they're the best halogens I've had for headlights (can't speak for the fogs). If I hadn't gone with projectors for the fog lights, I'd definitely buy the Nokya bulbs again. With the light output I got out of the Nokya's, I couldn't see spending double on PIAA's, I don't see how they could be that much better.

 

OP you check out Narva at all? They are a high end German bulb supposedly much better then PIA. I have not had the opportunity to personally compare the Narva Rangepower 50's to a PIA bulb, but I have compared to SilverStar Ultra's and the Narva blows them away with light output.

My PIA's both blew out at the same time so I couldn't compare when I switched to Narva's.

 

I love my Nokya Hyper Yellow Light Bulbs! Don't know much about the PIAA though

 

That was my feelings also.

Unless the piaa's are at least 25% yellower and 25% brighter it doesn't seem worth it.

 

So the fog bulb on the 2012 is a H11.

Is there a thread that shows the bulb type for other parts of the truck? Lic. Plate/dome/DLRL/ Ect.

 

This thread was made for the 2005 - 2011 trucks. I know the fog lights are different but I'm not sure what else changed, if anything.

I happened to have my Manual out looking up this very information..

Headlights HB2
Fog Lights H11
Front turn/park/DTRL 4157NAK
Rear Turn Signal

$40 3157A /4157A ST BP SilverStar 27-Watt High Performance Signal Light

3157A
Stop/Tail and rear side marker lights 3157KX
Back Up 921
Licence plate 168
high mounted stop light 168
personal lights 168
interior light.. It simply says Double ended bulbs.

I hope this helps

 

Cool Thanks.

I will have to print that and look up some LED's.

 

I'm not familiar with the Nokya so I can't answer the poll, but I've never been a big fan of PIAA. They have a habit of overvoltaging the bulbs to increase the color temperature and brightness (the whole "the light of 100 watts from only 60 watts!" marketing), and the result is dramatically decreased life.

 

Also my dealer called PIAA today and the 13511 pack of H11 bulbs is not available in North America at this time.

 

nokya here. I've had them in 2 other vehicles (1 for 3 years the other for 1.5 years) plus my tacoma for 2 months and have never had a set burn out or fade. GREAT buy for $20





really bright and really yellow at night

i bought these ones

I used to have the yellow Noykas. No complaints when I had them.

 

I bought the Nokya bulbs off of Ebay last night.. When they get here I will let you know how they work if you like.

 

That's funny, I just picked up a set on ebay the other day. Got it in two days. I have the piaa ion crystal yellow and love them

 

Individual dealers may have then currently.. But the distributors don't have any more.. Once current stock is depleted they may be months to get back into stock..

 

That would be great. Check back with your thoughts.
