I just bought a 5th gen and wanted to change my headlight and fog light bulbs. I don't want to get HID'S but something similar that has more of a blueish white light. Any suggestions?

 

Stock headlamp bulb: H4. Go with Philips Vision Plus if you want a brighter bulb. If you want a bluish tint for the look of HID without the cheap fake knockoff blue boy racer look go for Philips GT150 Power2Night. I had them on before I switched to HIDs. The glass of the bulb is actually clear but there is a blue cap on them.

Stock Foglight: H3. I'd suggest going the yellow/gold tinted route.

I would go with Nokya, PIAA, or Eurolite. Its been years since Ive used those brands now that i have a 5.5 Gen with Fact. Xenon's.

 

PIAA are overpriced and crap, IMO.

 

Any higher wattage bulb.

 

Not this.

 

I got a set off eBay for $10, had them for almost a year without any problems, and they have great output and that whitish blue tint the OP is talking about. Why not get them?

You can have brighter bulbs without doing it and you won't run the risk of burning out your harness over time.

 

I'm cheap.

 

How much is a harness?

 

Not sure. If anything were to happen to the harness, I could probably get 1 from a junkyard for cheap.

just got the Nokya 2500k 70 watt halogen bulbs, ill post up pics when i get them installed.
part number is NOK7615

 

H4s work with our cars? thought the headlights for 00-01 were H3?

 

Mine are H3 dunno about yours

 

H4 for headlamps, H3 for fogs.

 

Luminics Pure Blue are the best. not the brightest in the world, but the best color. wanna see??? look below. the pics color is not off at all. i retook the pic until it was perfect. they really are that blue. DO NOT get a higher wattage bulb, theyre brighter, but youll fry the crap outta ur harnesses. the pure blues are 55/60W bulbs, which is the stock rating, so you should have no probs. ive been through plenty of "HID" halogens, and these are the ones that achieved the color and look i wanted

 

damn haha I'm running H3 headlights, what's the difference between H3s and H4s?

 

^H3^

^H4^

huuuuuuuge difference. you do not have h3's in ur heads if ur drivin a 5th gen. you have h4s. the fogs are h3s. this has already been established i believe

 

Nevermind haha I had a brain lapse, I confused the h4 with something else

 

Got the nokyas installed, they look good, just need to wait till it gets darker to take some pics

 

i had nokyas in my old 4th gen, they looked nice, (not quite as blue as i wouldve liked, but nice) they fried my harnesses. make sure you replace your harnesses now before it happens... TRUST ME

 

nah there only 70 watt H3s did not trip a fuse , tinted the side markers and they got rained on while drying............ shat sucks

 

anomaly, exactly what shade of blue would you say your headlights are?

 

luminics says theyre 6000k. theyre pretty blue.

 

Why wouldn't you rather go with HIDs? Price? You can find kits for as low as $50 nowadays...

 

Where can you find a kit for $50 that will last?

 

 

Look on the group buys for HID kits. They're not expensive anymore. You can get a pretty reliable kit for around $100.

 

I'm surprised no one has recommended Sylvannia Silverstars? Maximum whiteness, with good reliability.

H4 are also known as 9003, in case you get confused when shopping for bulbs.

 

i got my fog light hids from http://www.ddmtuning.com/ and they were $54.xx shipped during christmas sale.. they're still around that price i think (haven't really checked out the site in a while).. only thing bad with them is the shipping time, most ppl didn't get it for a month or so.. some experienced bad customer service but some didn't.. heres a thread from another forum to help you with your decision.. http://www.nycnissans.com/showthread.php?t=216

ive had my hids from them for about 2 months and they're still working great

 

Silverstars are nice but they dont last, they always burn out within a month.

 

www.vvme.com ... ive heard good things, but never personally had experience

 

2500k fogs installed

 

^ +1 to the Sylvannia, Im running the ultra ones or whatever theyre called and theyre a plenty bright and white....and yes i confused the "3" in 9003 with H3...

 

Check the group deal section. Lifespan should be just as long if not longer than the "blue-white" bulbs you seek.
