I installed my HID kit in my Maxima about 2weeks ago and still have not been able to find any H3 bulb that will give me the HID look.

Here are two pics of the HID lights and the STOCK fogs. I need fogs that will at least do the same color. I dont care if the intensity of the fogs are not there. Better yet, if there were just someone who made straight up BLUE fogs, I would take those.

The HID lights are awesome, just need something that is better for the fogs, cause I cant use them looking that freagin' yellow.

Here is the thing, I aint about to spend $45+ on a pair of fog lights that cost like $5 to the dealer and when they blow out, I got a buy them again for $45. So I aint trying to spend anymore than $20.

UMD, I am thinking of going to the new 2K2 headlight assembly, but it seems that one is a little ooglie to me. So dont know.

you can probably get some cheap blue H3 bulbs for around $15 or $20.... did you try www.eautoworks.com ?

cheap bulbs won't be very functional, but they may look ok. As for the 2k2 HIDs..... if they physically fit without a lot of modifications, I am getting them. The wiring may require some work, but that s ok

Believe me they are REAL HID lights. Only reason the pics look like that is because I made the camera take a darker pic so I could show the difference in color of the fogs and hids. Otherwise, when I take the picture, the camera shows that the fogs look nice and white when in real life they look MAD YELLOW compared to the HID.

I know what you talking about.... That is exactly what i am doing now...

But, I wish I can find a company that makes just straight up BLUE H3s, that would be so nice, that joint would look hot then...
