I found some headlight bulbs on ebay for like $20, it said they were super white with a SLIGHT blue tint. So i got them, installed them today and tonight i made my husband drive down the street so i could see what they looked like far away. They are Bright BLUE. They are just like those headlights you see on Riced out integras and civics. Now i have to put my stock ones back and just know that i wasted $25. Oh well.....

usually

since they are one of those cheap brands, you can use them for a while and they will start to fade into a light blue. That's what i did for my motorcycles headlights.

There is no subsitute for the real thing PIAA Superwhite.

Most owners of the PIAA superwhite bulbs love the bulbs and don't mind paying the extra $$ for them. They are nice and white. My friends ride in my Maxima and always ask me what kind of bulbs do I use. They like the bright white headlights on my car. Well you can go to http://autosupermart.com/ for the newest PIAA bulbs and car care products.

Get Narva Rangepower 9004s. They are whiter and a little bit brighter than PIAAs, as well as a lot cheaper.

I think you can still get the Narvas from Courtesy Nissan. I got mine from a different place. I don't remember the name, but the phone # is 1 (888) 673-3280. They were $46.95 including shipping.
