07 maxima fogs

Do I have to buy a HID kit to get them white? Right now they're pure yellow, looks real ugly..Can I simply just change the bulbs, and get them to look white, or do I need to get some kind of kit..Kinda new to lighting, thanks..Looks real weird having the HID head lights, and then ugly yellow fogs..

You can go both ways. With just bulbs you can change the color. With an HID kit you can change the color and make them brighter.

I did the samething brought the Piaa bulbs, they look nice but not as good as a complete HID kit would...

I have been thinking about ordering from the Group buy on this site... but since I never installed one I wonder if I would screw something up...also where would I mount the Ballast, would I have to completely take off the bumper and if so, how

I like the way HID bulbs in 6000k looks, a much brighter white so which leads me to ask how do you change out the OEM HID Bulbs? I bet they are a pain to get too....

(the picture makes the contrast between the headlights and fogs greater than it actually is... in reality, it's pretty close.)

No, I actually have a 2000 Maxima with 2003 retrofitted headlights. I don't upgrade to a 2004 because I personally am more attracted to the 5th gen and I'm 18 so I don't have quite the funds for a new model. And.... the fact we all have different tastes is what makes the world interesting so I'll stick with my 5th gen for now. But thanks for the offer!

Yeah those are nice. I might consider getting them. My existing bulbs are 8000k and they are too blue.
