Light Bulbs

I am gonna get clear corners. i also need new blubs on the outside. so what would be some suggestions. For the bumper lights can i get white lights or do they have to be amber. and where would i find yello foglight bulbs for a 96 max? And are these bulbs (http://www.customenterprise.com/TEST...dlights1WM.jpg good for headlights and foglights compared to http://www.customenterprise.com/TEST...ockWallWM.jpg? They are from CE and $14.99 for a pair. Is that a good deal? Thanks.

I personnaly dont like white corners. I think ambers look best (sig), and for the headlights..well those pictures suck since we dont know what kind you actually are looking at. Do a 9007 conversion or get hids if you want good headlights. Don't go to CE. Just because they do custom work for Nissan doesnt mean that there stuff is the best. Pepboys, Autozone, Adavance Auto, and all the other part stores around you carry bulbs. Do what you want its your car. Pick a bulb, try it out, then see what you like.

how do you get the turn signals to light up all the time? tap into the light next to it and tap it into the turn signal, or will that dram too much power and blow fuses. also i want to do the 9007 conversion, what do i need, also wont that draw too much power also

thanks

there is a post in the how tos on how to get thme to light up all the time. Do what you want it is your car. Just think of the concequences of putting differant bulbs if they crack dowb on things like that in your area. it is all up to you.

but i personally think amber bulbs are the best looking. To me hyperwhites look cheap. just go to any auto store and buy 1156 bulbs for you turn signal

Not to mention hyperwhite, xenon, blah blah blah, ricers bulbs suck at output, can't even see with them in the rain.

Well for the 9007 conversion you need to wire up your own harness. Go to the stickies to find it. It's not too hard. I think the always on bumbers is on VQ. You need to wire them to the corners. You also need to fab a 1157 bulb holder into the lens instead of the stock harness.

I bought white LED bulbs for my corners and bumper lights and they match my HID kit perfect!!!!! For some reason the 1156 turn signals didn't work so I shaved off one of the nubs on each bulb and put it into the corner light and it lights up bright! Not blinding bright though and the best part is they let off no where near as much heat as a regular bulb!!!! I tested it out the cave man way by holding each bulb in my hand until it got too hot. The regular bulb heated up in 30 seconds and got crazy hot in 1min and 30 secs the LED's didn't get hot at all. Anyone know why the 1156 LED didn't work in my turnsignal but worked perfectly in the corners? I'm kinda afraid to buy them again and have the same thing happen!
