Lighting Topic: Input Appreciated

Hello All -

I'm looking change out the following lighting (I want to go with PIAA bulbs) in my Maxima:

Foglights
Headlights
Dome Light
Corner Lights

Am I forgetting any other lights?

Also, can any one recommend bulb types, vendors and methods of installation? I know this is a lot, but I'm kinda new to this and not really sure where to start. And believe me I've tried to do my share of research to no avail. Thanks for looking!

Never done it, but if you want to sell your driver's side foglight, I'll meet you in DC and buy it! (I'm in Germantown).

I'll definitely get in touch once I replace. But if I do sell, they'll be sold as a pair.

Check out http://autolumination.com/ for corner bulbs. Go with the 194 bulbs, inverted lenses. Those project the light back into the housing for a fuller effect....

I'm sure you could use many of those other bulbs on there for other things, but the corners are all I have experience with...

Also, check out the FAQs and How-To's for installation help before ya post your next questions, it'll save you some grief....

Go with Polarg, they are cheaper...with Piaa you are just paying for the name.

Don't forget clearence lights, unless those are included with "headlights". I remember reading on someone's car domain sight that there are no hyper white vanity light bulbs. I did what that person did too, colored them blue with a sharpie marker, they look awesome.

Thanks for the input everyone, keep 'em coming!

Umnitza, are you selling or do you have information on HIDs?
