are there seperate bulbs for the high beams and the low beams, if so what is the number for the high and low beams? i have hyper white light bulbs for the low beam

 

no

 

how many bulbs did you see when you replaced the other one?

There is only one bulb, 9004

Please dude, just combine all your questions into one post or something

 

sorry about the posting, but i just wanted to make different threads so i can move to a higher rank, i used to be a newbie but im a maxima enthusiast now , i dont know what kind of blub it is but the box is in the trunk ill check it out and tell you later, so that means you can only buy bulbs that is the name number? you can buy bulbs with a different number?

 

you dont have to create a new thread to increase your post count

You can buy other number bulbs, but I'm pretty sure they wont work correctly or fit. Not 100% though

 

what kind of max do you have a 91 se or what?? and what kind of bulbs do you have? i like how the blue tint bulbs look, but i think its illegal. i have super white bulbs, bought them at pep boys

 

89 GXE, but same car as yours minus some cosmetic things.

I have some 9004 bulbs made by Vision that I got from a local speed shop around here. They are about a year old and show no signs of fading from the blue color. They are illegal, but cars are getting to the point where H.I.D.'s are becoming standard, so I dont know how that will affect any of the illegal aspect in the future.

 

ya true, i think the lexus comes with h.i.d with a slight blue tint to them, and other cars too

 

not meaning to be rude, and not implyng any insult, but..how old are you? And that's a perfectly straight question.

 

I've been wondering also. I noticed you live in Sugarland, how far away is that from Dallas?

 

y do guys ask that question?? im sorry but i dont know much about cars as you can tell, so call me what ever you want, i dont care,

 

dude i said it was a straight question! you're aiight though.

Klown (may i call u that?) Sugarland is um...4hrsfrom dallas, but it depends. If you're in my max, then maybe 3.5, others, more.
It's within houston.

 

Oh, nm. I'm trying to recruit some people to go to our DNE meets in Dallas. I was thinking around Dallas but I'm not too good with locations.

 

i live in va

 

va: not too far...couple ' hrs and you'll b there.
I'm currently in skool in kansas. Maybe if i was back home, i would.

 

Just an FYI.. sugarland, TX is in the Houston area.


All 3rd gen headlight bulbs (and maybe the early 4th gen, but don't quote me on that one) use 9004 bulbs.. They have the low and high beams both in the one case.

The BMW lights use 9005 and 9006 for separate low and high beams. I forget what the 9007 bulbs are, but then they go to H4 and some other funky stuff too.


HID lights are a completely different type of deal, and they're blue because they emit fewer orange light colors and more blue and yellow stuff... It's supposedly easier for our eyes to see than the dingy brown stuff produced by incandescent (regular filament burning) bulbs.

the blue (and superwhite) 9004 style lights are all simply just regular bulbs with blue tinting in the glass to supposedly make them look like the HID lights. only difference is the turn the ground blue, instead of helping you see better. they also usually have to use high wattage bulbs because the blue tint absorbs much of the lgiht... which is why the stock bulbs are 45/65W for low/high, and the cheap aftermarket ones are 65/80 or 85/100W. either one of the high wattage bulbs will cause your headlight harnesses to burn up over a long period of time. search on high-wattage lights and other related topics for more info on this problem, and how to fix it (other than leaving the stock bulbs in)

 

Nah man, i feel you, im a freakin newbie, and have been using this site for a year, and singed up about 6 months ago. i dislike the lack of respect. Like... being a newbie automatically makes you unknowledgeable about the Maxima.
