Where is the best place to get Xtravisions for cheap. I would rather go to a store.

 

wtf is that? headlight bulbs? if so, check EBAY OR WWW.GOOGLE.COM

 

I checked ebay. and they only have silverstars. Google. Hmm. all i get is links back to maxima.org about how xtravisions are the best. So, I know Walmart has them but living in the Bronx makes the commute to wallmart an hour ride.

 

Check any local parts store, they should be there. Its not like they are a limited edition commodity thats super duper rare.

 

Walmart.....

 

Scored mine at Autozone. ($17 for 2) They were also at Advance Auto Parts too.

 

<~not happy with sylvania there silverstar headlight bulb (right) just blew after not even a year so they can suck my **** there not getting another dollar of my money HID BABY

 

That's what I keep hearing about the silverstar. I'm surprised though that Xtravisions are not being sold on ebay. I'm going on search tomorrow to all the part places I know. I went to AUtozone two weeks ago, but they didn't have it.

 

how bout pep boys they have all sylvanias

 

I have mine for over a year, with no problems. Maybe you got a bad one
I made sure i don't get any oil on them, so i wear some Hospital gloves to install it.

 

silverstars are all right i have friends with them and 2 of my friends go through 2 or 3 pairs a year and my other friend has had the same pair for a year and he has daytime running lights

 

I got silverstars, i have them on my max for..........almost 2 years no problem, just that they dim when i try to roll up 2 windows at a time. Any ideas?

 

do u have an udp? if so then your battery might not be as powerful and the windows are just stealing battery power when u use them

 

Buy em online: 2 for $8.95

That link is nice. But they don't have them as the 9007. I'm doing the harness Upgrade. I'm going afterwork to check in various stores. thanks everyone.

any auto parts place

Most "higher" performance xenon bulbs with a blue film on them will not last as long as a normal bulb. They are meant to look bright and they compromise longevity in the process. An upgraded harness will sometimes lengthen their lifespan.

I love my 9007 Xtravisions. I bought the ntbk upgraded harness, did the 9007 conversion and got the xtravisions and now I can actually see at night.

 

my xtravision's with the 9004 still have a nice light output.

 

a grounding kit should take care of that.

 

I just bought some silverstars... Im debating on whether or not I like them. They dont look that different to me, anyone else?

 

Ok, after 3 hours of endured pain traveling to different stores I ended up finding the Xtravisions at Pep Boys. I should of went there first, but I thought other places would have them. They cost $22.99 for two by the way.

 

WTH???? My local wal mart sells Xtravisions for like 12 bucks a pair!

 

That's Kentucky. Up here in NY everything is allways over priced. That's why most of the NY members order everything online or have a connection.

 

maybe I should start a business then...

 

which if the two (xtravission or silverstars or other) are whiter and brighter? I've had 9004 Piaa Xtreme whites for a couple of years and I love them but I'm changing the headlights lights soon so i'm in the market for knew bulbs but don't want to spend $70 for PIAA bulbs again.

 

I got mine at Walmart.

 

Xtravisions have been called the superior bulb for Maximas b/c not only are they 20% brighter than Silverstars but they last longer. You need to make sure that you upgrade to the 9007 harness otherwise the bulbs are going to melt everything.

 

SpeedRacer~ are you saying that even if i have xtravision 9004 headlights, i need the 9007 harness?

 

You dont need to do that. They are a direct OEM replacement. No overwattage or anything.

 

Cool, i wasnt sure what he was talking about. Thanks, mzmtg.

 

Hmm. That's a tid bit I didn't know. My bad. Ohh well. Xtravisions are still The Best.

 

I have cefiros (not yet installed) with the h4 harness that I have to splice into the factory harness. Do I need to upgrade the whole harness for the H4 xtravisions? Will they melt my factory harness? ............... I'm not trying to steal your thread speed racer, I'm just trying to get some info.

 

Stock 9004 bulbs are 45W/65W and 9007 are 65W/55W so H4 bulbs should be fine if they're at 65W or below

 

i have a 98 without any harness upgrades or anything, stock headlights. Will i have any problems if i just install the xtravisions into my stock headlights and keep them like that?

 

No you won't the high beams are lower wattage than stock and the lows are only about 10W more, you won't melt the stock harnesses... however, with an upgrade harness or one of Matt Blehm's grounding kits (or both if you're ambitious) your lights will be brigher and constant. As for what's better? The Xtravisions are brighter, the Silverstars are whiter. If anyone has a problem with finding Xtravisions at a decent price (under 20 for a pair) let me know.

And for those who don't know... an H4 = a 9003

 

pep boys should have them
