The 35/5s are only 8 watts (30%) higher than recomended so they are probably safe.
I could easily be wrong here, but I seem to recall someone saying the the 97-99 Maximas don't even use the higher wattage filament unless you rewire them. If this is indeed the case, there will be absolutely no difference between the two on your car (unless you have rewired).
Either way, I would just go with the 21/5s just to be on the safe side.

1156 has the two nubs that are on the same level right? cuz thats what they were. 1157 has two nonleveled nubs.
so it was a 1156, and the rating says 12/28..got me.
either way im sure its a 28 output that im runningnow cuz its bright. in either case you think im gonna be alrite?

if i get the higher wattage bulb, would upgrading the fuse to a 10 do the job? what about the harness and stuff? where do i get that and how do i upgrade those?
