Changing Headlight bulbs? 2 Bulbs needed?

I was just browsing the web and found some picture of some PIAA bulbs on some cars. Are there seperate hi/low beam bulbs because in the manual they are two different bulb #. Is it better to have a whiter or bluer light? Thanks.

What car is this for? The bulb numbers you saw are 9005 (HIgh beam) and 9006's (Low Beams). If you are in a non-HID maxima then the bulbs should be 9004 (100% sure). The bulb color is up to you as long as it is not Halogen yellowish. You should have the same visual output either way. With the 9004's you don't need 2 types of bulbs since they have built in highs and Lows. Dual Filaments. I'm not sure about any other car. For Maxima's 9004's will do good and all you need are 2 bulbs, 1 set. Not 2 set and 4 bulbs altogether. This of course is assuming these are for a maxima

Yeah, in the manual it says 9005 (high) and 9006 (low). It's for a toyota non-HID. It also has daytime running lights, does it affect anything? So i'm gonna need 2 bulbs?

Yes you need a pair of 9005's and 9006's. First of all how much are the bulbs? On ebay you might be able to get the KOBA set (little blue tint not ricey) for about $30 with shipping added in already. I decided to find a auction for you that sells both bulbs. [Click Here for your set of bulbs. Don't mind the name that they're for accords because the lights are interchangeable.
