I want to replace the factory headlights w/ something that more closely resembles HIDs. What bulbs do you recommend?

 

piaa superwhites. y2kevse will post shortly he'll give u a scoop on lights.

 

Hehe YJ knows too.
Get PIAA superwhite plasma HID bulbs.
Call courtesy or if not go check out the local racing parts stores.
they run about 70 up.
good luck!
install is really easy and such =)

 

yeah yj knows too. hehe. just remember never touch the bulb (glass part) with your barehands. it'll blow

 

Repeating what the mingo and yj said... PIAA HID H4 55W. During installation, make sure the bulb is secure (can't jiggle around) or else it'll break.

 

You sure do like jiggleing don't you kev?
heheh

 

I have no comment...

 

you posting from work kev?
hehe
go and work!
dang i have like 5 test today =(
off to school i go!

 

Kev U got Platinumz or Plazmaz? You told me to go with Platinumz and your sig says U got plazmaz? R U trying to get me to buy inferior Bulbz?

 

I have both. Plasma H4 and Platinum H3... so which bulbs was I talking about? I don't remember... sorry if I confused you.

YJ: I will not incriminate myself...

 

your headlights look Ok.. the Plasma headlight and Platinum fogz? blue/white effect Got any pics?

 

I can't tell much of a difference with the piaa plasma blue headlights and platinum fogs when looking at the front of the car (standing back about 30 feet looking at the front of the car). It wouldn't translate well with a picture.

I will say looking at the front of the car with only the plasma blues installed looks like crap with the stock fogs.

I think with both changed they somewhat blend together and you lose the bluish hue. I do notice the bluish hue on somebody's bumper when sitting at a traffic light, though.

 

someone pm me if they have nokya arctics

 

I have PIAA Super Plasma GT H4's and PIAA Ion Crystal H3's (amber color) for fogs. I like them alot. The ion crystals are sweeet. I was thinking about the extreme whites too for my headlights. What's it look like?

If your looking for bulbs, get them from stealth max/max_se. He is posting in the GD forum: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....readid=113530. Just PM him for prices on the h4's and h3's to see if he has any.

 

speakin of bulbs..what kinda bulbs would i need if i wanted to change my inside dome lights and door lights??

 

I used 194 wedge bulbs for the doors and a polarg m16 should do the job for the dome.

Has anyone tried RAZO bulbs?

 

One of my PIAA plasma h4's just went out. I bought PIAA mainly for the dependable reputation, but from a few discussions here it seems like they don't last very long. I'm having my doubts to buy PIAA again. What would you guys recommend for my replacement? Thanks!

 

Anyone?

 

There is a local Piaa dealer near me that sells the whole line up for about $45-$55 a pair. They don't advertise individual bulbs on the website (just foglights) but call them. The place is Off Road Warehouse in San Diego. Phone number is 858-565-7792 http://www.offroadwarehouse.com

 

Thanks, NYC2SD!

 

i'm new to the maxima community...i also wanted to replace my lights to make them all match (out of the factory, only the main headlights are superwhite, while the other lights have a yellowish tint. my question is, what bulbs are needed for the high beams, low beams, signal, fog, and that little white one next to the signal. i have a 2002 se. any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
