2kmaxima

Hey guys, about to purchase a '98 maxima, and was thinking of purchasing some goodies for it now I was thinking about changing the stock headlight bulbs that it had to sylvania but I'm not too sure what kinda of blub type it needs. I know 2000 max's need h4 9003, but not sure about the 4th gens. Someone clue me in....

Thanks a lot in advance...

Headlights are 9004 but I recommend converting to 9007; very easy to do.

how much brighter is it after converting to 9007? any pics of the differences? how long does it take to do?

Ten minutes, tops. It's not so much of brighter as it is much better beam pattern; you can see more with the same amount of light.

This is the thread I've been looking for (search doesn't work )...

I wanted to put PIAA's in, but I wasn't sure which kind to get, or if they will melt the housings? I read the several tutorials, but they are somewhat vague. Is there a specific model number I should get for the PIAA's? I would like to keep it as simple as possible, just a bulb switch

Thanks!

don't but the piaa's from custom maxima, they charge you up the ***. I got mine last week from ltb motorsports much cheaper. fogs & lights, forgot to get the piaa 1157 to match at the same time for the clearance lights, so I have to order those right now.

PIAA Xtreme White Plus 9004's and H3 fogs




(these are before I just put in my diamond cut clear corners ... and clearance lights havent been brightened yet.)
