9007 vs. 9004 pics

I used my dads Maxima as a comparision against the garage wall.

Here is the low beam comparison:


Here is the highbeam comparison:


This is using Sylvania standard non colored 55/65watt bulbs for the 9007 bulb. The 9004 equipped car used a similar bulb (45/64watt)

I did this a couple of weeks ago and love it. I used cool blues because they are whiter than stock but a lot cheaper than silverstars.

Only problem now is I have some projectors coming so its all for naught...well not actually because I am going to take my time and do the projectors similar to how I did my old BMW lights so I dont have to be in a rush since I have the 9007s in. I will seal them this time though.

do you need to splice in the higher power harnesses with the light upgrade (like on the 4th gen?) or did you just directly swap out the headlights?

the 9007 xtravision cost $10. you splice the ground and the low wires. if you rotate the bulb so that the high beam is lower on the ground than the low beam, you can splice the low and high beams so that the signal stalk is not pushed forward (and the high beam indicator is not on). in this way, your high beam 65w will actually be the low beam and vice versa. hope that's clear.
