Hello Orger's

I want to upgrade my 2000 maxima headlight bulbs to the closes HID look bulbs, that is SAE certified and DOT approved in all 50 states. I see that the H4 Platinum Super White and star white is the rate at 60/55w = 110/100w 3800k. Is this the only bulbs PIAA make that are street legal or can I go with the H4 Xtreme white 60/55w = 135/125w 4150K and still be street legal in all 50 states???

I'm also going to get the H3 fog bulbs to match the H4 I get.

Thanks in advance for you help with this..........

No halogen headlight bulbs will look like the real HIDs.

I had PIAA Xtreme White bulbs. Never had any problem w/ cops. Never heard anyone having problem w/ cops either.

Super Plasma are not legal, rated at 5000K. But still they are not as bright as the HIDs, no problems with cops whatsoever.

Ammi - did you like the Xteme whites??? or did you upgrade to to different set up? did that ligh up the road enough for you whe you had them. I don't wont to upgrade to the hid's because I tavel to NY often and their an hot item on the city.

They are definitely brighter than OEM. Just get a matching Fog bulbs too.

Another cheaper alternative is to buy a HID kit for few hundred $$$. They will be brighter than PIAA bulbs.

I guess it all comes down to how much money you want to spend.
