my friend's shop here in LA carries em now. they're "superwhite" bulbs are now coated (or glass tempered or whatever) in a purple coat instead of a blue. same cheap price has well. i have yet to try them but im sure they look more realistic than the superwhites. lemme know if you guys are interested and maybe i can pick you up a set. again, purple glass bulbs (not blue).....not sure of an exact pricing but they're dick cheap relative to the piaa's. merry xmas all
