Check your manual...If you don't want to then here it is...

What size are my headlights and fog lights?
  • Headlights are "9004" for the 3rd generation.
  • Headlights are "9004" and fog lights are "H3" for the 4th generation.
  • Headlights are "H4" and fog lights are "H3" for the 5th generation.

Hello KiLIAKLoWn,

Here is just my opinion, you said you are tired of stock set up ones .... I do have a question for you, ..... Do you use the high beam alot? .... if you do not or never used it, you can retrofit your set up to HID (Xenon), it will cost you some where from $550-$600, I do have a kit on my '95 for quite sometimes now, here are some site you can check out for yourself, and I hope that would help you out.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info, but there is no way i'm payin that much just for some headlights. I was thinkin more like just buying bulbs to replace the dim stock ones. I had no idea that headlights would cost that much. Thanks for the Web Pages!

Too Expensive of Headlights?

I think KiLIAkLoWn is right. Unless you have a fully customized Maxima - and I mean fully customized (supercharger, cat-back, body-kit, all the strut bars, etc.), H.I.D. is not worth it because there is so much more you can do with the $600. If you looking for some NORMAL BULBS that are nice white-blue, go with the powerful PIAA lights (you will need to get wiring harnesses as well). The bulbs should run $85, and the harness $50. I know that even that's alot, but these are nearly as bright as xenons, not just having the cool tint. Just trying to help.
