PIAA Xtreme White Headlight Bulbs......

Just bought some new PIAA Xtreme White Headlight Bulbs off of CustomMaxima.com and was just wondering if anyone knows how to install them on my 95 SE. Any info will be helpful.

THANKS

Just open your hood. You will see a plastic base and wires going into each headlight. You have to twist it and then pull it out. Make sure you do NOT touch the bulb. Only touch the plastic base. The passenger side can be a little tricky because there is a little "shield" in the way. I was able to slightly bend it out of the way while I swapped bulbs. BE careful and take your time. Make sure your lights are off too.
I think some people recommend to disconnect the negative battery cable? I never did though.

Definetly not a good replacement for HID. It is a very nice clean white, not yellow like stock. It is also not like those cheap "dark blue" or "dark purple" bulbs that try to look more like HID. These produce excellent lite output for normal bulbs. I am interested in going for some HIDS. Maybe a nice custommaxima projector setup will emerge..........
