Ive got hyper white bulbs in my headlights and just ordered the clear corner lenses and I am trying to find someplace that sells either the hyper white or blue bulbs that would replace the clear bulb in the corner of my 93 maxima. I would appreciate it if someone could let me know how they handled this problem themselves or where they bought their replacement bulbs at. because right now im going to take out the hyper white headlights because it doesnt look good with the corner bulbs still having that yellow hue to them.

speedlights.com check your owner's manual for the right size.

Or just post the sizes here on the site. I don't have any manual, but I would like to know the sizes, as I've got the same problem. Oh, and BTW, thanks for the info, primeevil711. Good lookin' out for the group!

Side Marker: 194

I am about to go through Autotoys (www.autotoys.com)and replace the side markers, corners, taillights, backup lights, turn signals, interior lights, and step lights. Currently, I have PIAA SuperWhite 9004s and I agree that the side markers look dim in comparison.

be careful

if you are going to get hyper whites for the clear corner that will be ok but if you put hyper whites in clear corner and if you have done the rewire mod (where the clear corner lights are always on instead of just on when you signal) then you need to replace the clear corner fuse because that 10 amp wont handle it, you blow a fuse in less then 1 hour. i would recommend a 15 amp or even maybe a 20.

If I replace the corner bulbs with hiper whites, will I need to replace the harness too? I just don't want to do anything to hurt my car. Thanks.

prinz, what out before you order off autotoys.com, they really stick it to you with shipping, so if you can get em at a local sotre for almost the same price, your probably almost better off that way...

Yes, I too would like to know if I need an upgraded wire harness for the corners. Also, I'm looking to upgrade my wire harness and bulbs for headlights, and new bulbs for stock fogs, corners, tail lights, etc. I've heard that PIAA are badass lights, but they also cost a bundle. I'd like some less expensive, bright white(not blue tint) bulbs for all the above-mentioned parts. Anyone have any suggestions?

hyper whites in non clear (red) tail lights do make very little diff and its not worth it. just stick with stock bulbs for anything that is not clear cause you barly notice it.
