I have them and like them...

I've had them for about 6 months. They work great -- look a lot like PIAA (barely not quite as white). Currently I'm testing some Hiper Industries stuff (higher wattage) but I think it's going to prove to be too blue for me. We'll see.

I love the APC -- good stuff.

any noticable blue tint from far away on the APC's? hey killermove you and me have the same color 92SE Max (charcoal grey) except that i dont have 97SE 16" rims,but i am looking to get those but nobody seems to be sellin them at decent price, i am looking for a wheel/tire package deal or just the wheels themselves...in my opinion charcoal grey is one of the best colors the 92se came out with,especially since the back part where it says nissan maxima is clear and not black,when i wax my 92se the shine comes out easy on that color max,after that it justs sits there going bling bling.did u sell the bose system in your 92se?if so,how much did you let it go for?

Hi,
im was just searching for how to take the housing apart (fogged, and lots of water and a chunk of glass from the last owner .
anyway, I have APC's in mine, no noticable blue, they are basically really bright "normal" headlights. I bought mine onsale from GIJoes for 9 bucks a bulb.
look at my website for some pictures.

I just bought the APC hypermax something bulbs. the bulbs looked pretty blue in the box but i figured it wouldnt be that blue once they were lit up since my headlgiht s are blue but look mostly white. the things turned out to look exactly the same when lit up, a dark blue almost purple color. i was like no i dont really want to get pulled over on the way home, so im gonna take them back and just get piaas or the corners. oh well i guess it was my fault for not getting the more expensive superwhite ones
