I want to upgrade the bulbs in my 2000 Max .... what are the best bulbs? I know I use the H4 & H3 at 55W ...

If I get the 85W ... do I need 2 do an upgrade on the wiring harness?

Who makes this harness, how much is it .. & is it ez?

What are the best bulbs 2 get? I did & search & I think people like the Philips Blue vision H4's & PIAA H3's ... the superwhites or the blue ones from Japan?

Tkx guys I'm going 2 a car show tomorrow & hoping 2 pick them up there!

If you are running higher wattage bulbs, it's a good idea to upgrade the wiring harness. I think http://www.autodynamic.com and http://www.autotoys.com has them.

For the bulbs, it seems that most people had good comments on the PIAA superwhites. Affordable ones such as Sylvania Cool Blues and Philips Blue Visions are also good for their money.

Well,

I like the PIAA's, but haven't tried others so I could just be brainwashed hehe. If you're gonna upgrade to a higher wattage bulb, get a wiring harness. Mine are melting/rehardening on a daily basis and I have to get out of the car to mess with the wiring 25% of the time when I turn on my car to get my headlights on. It sucks =P

Hey

I got/had the Sylvania Cool Blues in my Maxima for about 5 months and they burnt out. Don't get them, I mean, they are cheap and they work, but overall, get the PIAA's or APC. Just my .02 cents
