Would I need to get a wiring harness for these because of the draw wattage? Does the output wattage matter? If so, where could I get a wiring harness for these?

vs -

Xtravisions by Sylvania?




I have a 95 max SE if that matters.

They are all halogen for one. The 4750k ones are just colored halogen bulbs. They are not worth the extra money. If anything get silverstars.

Best bet without getting true hids is to get the clear lens for the maxima first if your car still has the oem 95-96 lens, and do a 9007 conversion. I would also stay away from high wattage bulbs, if not, you need an upgraded bulb harness. But I would stick with the 45/55 like stock.

So if I chose #4 I'd need a harness right.
but For 1, 2, and 3 - I wouldn't? Because its only 64/45w? Which is tolerable?

I agree.

But, Silverstars, I hear bad reports from more than one source that they last like 6months usually. Which is ridiculous. Which is why I'm comparing those lights to the Xtravisions which I hear last longer? rather than Silverstars. What contributes to a light not lasting as long, other than environmental variables, like. does color temp matter or wattage more.. determining the life of a bulb.

Get Sylvania XTravisions...not Silverstars. Those last, and they are great in all kinds of weather.

Either do a projector retro-fit or get Xtravisions....otherwise, leave it alone.
