does anyone know where other than the dealership can i buy new white cheap headlights for my car? my bulb number is 9003, and i had bought bulb number 9004, and then to 9007, and then i being a doofus realized the number is 9003, and the place where i bought it from did not have, they said they did not make that bulb model number... i have a 2000 maxima and would really like descent cheap white headlights... can someone please tell me where i can get?
i am guessing like auto stores and stuff, but the one i bought it from did not sell..

it might be also known as 9003 but every budy calls them H4 thats probably why your having trouble finding them,any car store that carries headlights {pepboys autozone etc.}will have them.But a real nice bulb for H4's is piaa plasma bulbs but they have a blue tinge to them {but make white light and are $65}.Or sylvanias cool blues are nice OEM replacement that are better then OEM and are about $12 a piece.

No NO, the Plasmaz are Purplish/blue, the Platinum is the white bulb. Pep Boyz carry this off brand called CoolBlue, try that out, I think they are about $30 for 2. but If U want real get PIAA. or HID. Don't hold the bulb with your fingers or U'll blow it.

The GE or Sylvania ones can be had for 18 bucks for 2 at Walmart I believe...I'm going to check it out tonight...I put a set of the Cool Blue Headlights in my 91 GTS and they made a nice difference over the stock lights. So if you are a little short on cash, I bet the Cool Blues will do the job...

Not an off brand... cool blue is made by Orasma/Sylvania.

Cool blues worked well for me in the last Max, there cheap and worth a try.

I like em especially for the price..big improvement over the stock bulbs. Make sure you get the Cool blues from Sylvania and not the Super Blues from GE(if you even get them at all )

Are one of the BEST quality Bulbs out there!!! I've tried Hella lot of brands and styles of bulbs!!!

In terms of COLOR they are Significantly WHITER and slightly brighter than STOCK!! Got them in my PATHFINDER for over 1 1/2 years now ... and running Fine!!!

But if ya want that HID Look, they won't cut it!!! U'll need PIAA SUPER PLASMA, which I got in my 2001 MAX SE/AE.
Looks Great, but OUTPUT is reduced, and I KNOW it won't last as long! Oh well!!!


OTHER good Brands are:

RAYBRIG (Huge Company in Japan)<----------|

POLARG <------ These two companies make some of the NICEST Looking Bulbs, and have good output!!

POLARG also makes GOOD QUALITY, Misc bulbs for your Turn Signals, Licence Plate Lights, etc!

IPF - Japanese company that makes a LOT of FOG lights and PUSH CAGES for SUV's ... Their LIGHT BULB line is PRETTY Good, nice color, good output, but don't last as long as others!!

SYLVANIA/OSRAM (Don't tend to be as Cosmetic, they don't LOOK that Great, but work OK)
