Pics of Naxos headlight bulbs...

As you can see, even though they're called Naxos Xenon BLUES, they are really white. And they're pretty cheap too at under $30 shipped from AutoDirectSave. My friend has them on his 5th gen and they are look much more blue (the whole reflector is filled with blue), but still project white. BTW these are 100/80 watts and I have been using these for months with no harness and no problems.


Only downside is that I can't find a corner to match ...

I don't think I will either. I already have them rewired to 27watts and have gone through 8 or 9 pairs of corners. I don't care for them to be that bright, just matching! Well, atleast they look like they match in the pics... but they really don't. Maybe I'll try the PolarGs Greg is selling.

Cyrus: What do you mean that you have them wired to 27 watts?
I have a 97 and the conerlight does not light up with the blinker. What method did you use to get the lights to light up to 27w?
I soldered a thin copper wire from one contact to the other on the bottom of the 1157 bulb. I am guessing that this lights up both of the filaments=brighter. I blew a 7.5 amp fuse, so I replaced it with a 10amp. They have been fine this way for about 3-4 months.

For me and you it is very different, being much easier for me in my '96. However you can find the directions for your car's rewire at www.MaximaDriver.com , or you can just cut the higher nub off of the bulbs and put the lower nub in the high one's position in the socket. Sorry I know that's confusing but you can search for it too, many people have done it.

I had these bulbs for my 99SE and one harness melted after about 9 months of use. The other side was unharmed. FYI

It's so hard without a bodykit! You can only see it in those pics because I was bending down, but were somebody to stand 20 feet away they could see it standing up... and its as far back on the plastic plate as it can go. Oh well it'll probably be ripped off by a rock or something anyways being the 4" off the ground it is

Just the neon tube is 4" off the ground because its 1" thick. I am sitting 5" off the ground with Sprints and REALLY low profile tires (215/45-17). It's not that low, but its annoying and now I'll never get a bodykit in fear of ripping it off. I'm sure you know the feeling better thatn I do

Nice big garage! I wish I had one like that to work on my car instead of getting blasted by the outside weather like I do now.
