I want to replace the stock halogen bulb in my 2009 max. with the sylvania silverstar ultra whites, 4000k. My question is what kind of bulb is the stock bulb. does it already come with these bulbs stock. I was told that they come with them already. If not is it even worth it because the stock bulbs are pretty bright. My 2nd question is does anyone know how to change them I heard behind the wheelwells. If so is it a pain in the ***. My 3rd question are the halo bulbs better than sylvania I can get halo halogen bulbs 7500k for 39.99 now thats alot brighter than the sylvania bulbs but are they good bulbs. thank you.

 

Get some H.I.D

 

there called d2r bulbs for the headlights in our 7th gens

 

and yes there very expensive, i wanted to change to a more blue and they wanted like 150 for the bulbs

 

whatever you do, avoid those "halo" bulbs unless you want blue headlights that are about as bright as a candle. "7500k" doesn't mean that it's almost twice as bright as "4000k". Halogen burns at around 3200K. To get a "7500K" color from a 3200K bulb, they have to add insane amounts of tinting to the bulb, which will cut output to terrible, terrible levels.

 

Go to xenondepot.com and buy the volt kit in H11 6000k

 

^ the H11 bulbs are for the fogs not the headlights

 

true but the H11 Is also for the Low beam for the base model and d2r for the sv model with xenon headlight..

 

Oops!! My apologies

 

only the SV Sport package has HID..not the SV Prem...

 

My premium SV has HID Xenons.

 

thats incorrect both sv sport and sv prem have the hid lights

 

oh ok...i thought it was only sport package because the prem package i didnt see HIDs included...i could have missed it

 

I am looking at adding the stock ballast and D2S bulbs to my SV. If I were to add the Bulb Holders for the D2S to the Halogen housing, would this work (epoxying bulb holder to stock housing)? I have found stock Ballasts, Bulb Holders and bulbs. Just don't know if this is worth the hassle over getting Rebased D2S bulbs with non stock ballasts. Any input would be great.

I bought a set of H11's HIDEXTRA HID kit (5000K) for my 2009 SV (halogen headlamps). Is it correct to assume that the headlamps on the MAX 2009 are all the same and NISSAN just installs either halogens or an HID package.

I am assuming I can just install the bulb and ballast package and I have the same thing as if I got the tech or sport package?

 

I was also wondering the same thing? Do you guys think the halogen lamps have a different projector lens?

 

nah, the projectors are generally different. D2S won't fit into H11, and vice versa. The entire headlight is the same except the HID ones have a D2S projector and the halogen ones have a H11 projector.

 

I figured all the new maxs's were HID?
