Hello guys, I am new to this forum and recently got myself a 04 max. The car's high beams are out so i need to replace them, under the hood my maxima says, it has xenon bulbs, can anyone recommend some high beams bulbs that would match the intensity of the stock headlight xenon bulbs?
On a side note, is it safe to clean dipped rims with dishwash or regular carwash soap ?
Thanks.

The xenon headlight bulbs are type D2S. Sylvania Osram makes a good lamp. But it is kind of strange for both high beams to be burned out.

It could be that the high beam relay is bad. It is located under the hood in the IPDM E/R module. Before you go and buy new lamps, swap the high beam relay with the low beam relay and see if that makes the high beams light up.

See page 23 in the link below for the relay location:

For the wheels, you can use those soaps you mentioned.

I don't think there's a separate bulb for the high beams if you have the Xenon HID bulbs. There's only one bulb and when you need high beams, some king of shutter moves in the headlight housing to shine the beam elsewhere.
