Hey guys, I just got my 2003 Max last saturday...I already tinted the windows and installed my racing pedals and XM radio

Now, I want to change the bulbs in the front to "match" the HID headlights. What type/size bulbs do I need for the foglights? H3's right?

Also, what are the bulb size/type for the yellow light "projectors" that are next to the headlight (not the turn signals, but the other lights near the headlights).

WHICH bulbs do you recommend for durability, quality, and "white" light? I've heard the PIA Ion Crystals are good? Also WHERE do you recommend I purchase them from?

I'm sorry for all the "dumb" questions. Like I said I before, I'm new to the 5th gen game so please pardon these silly questions. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it guys!!

 

For the fog lights I have PIAA H3 Extreme white 4150k's, They are a real close match to the stock HID. Not perfect but close. The other stuff I dont have an answer.

 

the crystal ions suck to me. the light it emits is yellow, but it's not the yellow look I was looking for. you can check out the homepage for pics.

 

I second to AE, PIAA Extreme is very good. I got a Hella DE for my ML - Im telling you its a "perfect combination" for your headlight Xenon.

 

You should first try the search feature on this site. There have been many threads on this subject. That being said, I use the PIAA Extreme whites in my fogs (H3), and the Polargs in my parking lights. The match isn't 100%, but I'd say they match pretty darn good. I got the PIAAs from Tire Rack, and the Polargs from cutommaxima.com

 

the Xenon bulbs you can get thru JCWhitney make a pretty good match. Pics on my homepage. They're like $15 for a set, cant really beat that

 

u can get H3 piaa super plasmas for ur fogs.... and the clearance lights are just wedge bulbs.. 168/194 or something... maybe it's 164/198? .. one of those two.... but u can buy bulbs for pretty cheap at www.optauto.com

 

super plasma is the PERFECT match.

 

PIAA extreme whites are the best, on for about year now. Don't mess with Raybrigs, I went through 3 set in 4 months.

 

Any of you like the Sylvania silverstars. I have those in my Fogs and HI's. Damn good quality.

 

I have the Extreme's and they look yellowish compared to the HIDs, but whiter than stock. If any of the bulbs blew up one day, I'll try Super Plasma.
