So over the past three years, I've been content to just let my car keep blowing lightbulbs.. Sometimes a headlight bulb, sometimes a foglight bulb, sometimes both. This happens whether or not I use cheapo "superwhite bla bla" bulbs or expensive Phillips/Sylvannia/etc bulbs. I am always careful to not touch them or anything when installing them, and this has continued to happen even after replacing the battery and alternator (oem). I'm almost ready to try a grounding kit.

The thing is, these 9004 bulbs are so bad in the first place, it makes me want to deal with the few problems that come with Cefiro (one-piece) lights just so I can get the H4 setup. This begs the question however, do H4 bulbs die less frequently than 9004 bulbs?

I know I am not alone on this problem, lots of org owners have their lights blow all the time.

 

I've had both and neither really blew often (not only on maximas)... at least with Stock wattage bulbs. H3 bulbs blow out more IMO. Driver side HL harness gets "burned" if you use overwattage 9004s...

 

Same here, I never had any problems with 9004, 9007 or the H3's going out. The cefiro lights have only been in for a month though. Had 9004 Silverstars, regular bulbs and Hyper white bulbs and none ever blew out, 9007 extra visions never blew out and right now I have H4 silverstars and they're working just fine.

 

I'm not running high wattage bulbs or anything. Stock headlights, stock fogs. Even with "quality" bulbs, this is getting rediculous.

 

I've only had problems with my fogs whenever I used some aftermarket ones. Now I'm sticking with stock fogs to avoid the problem.

 

I blew stock wattage Silverstars left and right, in my heads and fogs. I opted to upgrade to HIDs and went back to Nissan fog bulbs, with no problems yet.

 

honestly...i have the same PIAA set i bought 4 years ago. it cost $110 for the pair, but worth it for sure

 

Wow a 3 yeard bump ok i wont flame ya man.

 

wow.

 

OMG........what....the....****!
