Couple of ???'s about xenon lights...

Sup guys ,as the titile states:
1.What is the "K" rating of OEM Maxima bulbs??(2006)
2.Where can I find a quality replacement bulb besides the dealer??
3. Generally how long do Xenon bulbs last?? My Max has 15,000 miles and i thought it seemed too soon to have to replace the bulb already.

4300k is the stock color (should be not completely sure)
you can find quality bulbs from any major lighting brand that has those kinds of bulbs (ie. phillips) or you can go to an online company.
ive seen bulbs last 2 years.. i think it all depends on usage like if u flicker it a lot..

First thing, if your car is under original warranty then take it to the dealer.

For OEM philips bulb check this out I prefer philips over the osram (sylvania) bulbs that come on the max. I've these bulbs for over a year now. and great price too.

PM automax95 for prices on replacement bulbs, or just check out the G/D section and ask the guys if they sell single HID bulbs, which most of them do.

It depends on what kind of bulbs you have. When they are close to the end of their lifespan the will either be real blue or real pink then it's time to change.

Yuo guys are great thanx for the responses. Well the car has a 3/30 engine and power train warranty but I didnt think that included bulbs I'll have to look into this. Good web site though. If they wont replace it I'll order it from there. Says that the life span is 3000hrs. I guess about a year and a half worth of light. (btw are those philips the same color and out put as OEM??)

A lot of people are changing out their bulbs which I don't get. I think the xenons on my car are extremely bright. I could not image something brighter, although that would be pretty cool.
