PERFECT Lighting setup.

As I posted a while back I bought PIAA Xtreme white bulbs for my whole car.. well everything matched fine except for the wedge sidemarker bulbs (next to blinker). They were VERY Blue whereas the rest of the bulbs were white. Well the other day I went to the shop and purchased PIAA Superwhite Platinum Wedge bulbs and replaced them, now the Sidemarkers/Corner(parking lights) Match PERFECT.

The front setup is: PIAA Xtreme White Headlights, PIAA Xtreme White Parking lights (nub shaved off.. running at higher wattage). PIAA Xtreme White foglights, and PIAA Superwhite Platinum Sidemarkers. All in all its a nice setup.. it is VERY bright, I get flashed like 20 times a night and everything is aimed at stock level.

My setup is exactly the same, except that I kept the Xtreme White Sidemarkers in because they do match the headlights. They're a bit blue, but they look good and infact somewhat do match the rest of the lights.

The H4 XTreme white bulb is a tad bluer than the 9004. My friends got the 9004 in his altima. That may be why the sidemarkers matched your car better.

having an all PIAA setup is very expensive - unless you got lucky on ebay or sumthing

I bought all of PIAA Xtremes from OptAuto.com and I got everything 3 days later, and they seemed to have a great selection of all brands of lights, and the price were cheaper than other places online/in stores. Total, I think i've spent a little less than $150 on PIAA bulbs. I didn't buy all the lights in one shot either; I bought the sidemarkers and turn signals in one shot, headlights and fogs in another
