Here are a couple pics of some lights I put in about a month ago. The headlights are Naxos Blue HID bulbs, the fog lights are PIAA PLASMA H3. They are very hard to find, this guy I know at Brown University ordered them from Japan for me. The side markers are PIAA Plamsa wedge bulbs. The clearance lights are APC Blue bulbs. Let me know what you think...

Hehe, the headlights put out 100-110 watts (I forgot which one) and the fog lights put out like 85 or 110 watts.

They are actually a very deep blue. I'm not sure why they look so purple in the picture but they are illegal. I haven't had any trouble with the cops and them yet, except for one time in Ocean City, MD, but f*ck them.

Side Markers: PIAA Plasma $15 (local shop)
Fog Lights: PIAA Plasma H3 $75 (special order from Japan)

nice...

That looks tight! Don't know about that underbody neon though. To each's own, I guess.

BTW, are those PIAA H3s 55w or 85w?

Do the heads and fogs match color wise?
I like those little PIAA plazmas. I put them in my doors and they look pretty nice.
Has anyone tried HIPER brand bulbs??

PIAA Superwhites dissapointed me. They only lasted 2 months and cost and arm and a leg!

Custom, nice pics! I might look into those Naxos headlights. Do they shine a blue or purple light and do they match the fog lights?

Wow...look at all that glare >>

Imagine yourself driving towards that in the opposite direction...you'd be pissed too...and probably flash your highbeams at him/her.

Dude, do us a favor, check the aim of your headlamps.

The heads and fogs actually match almost perfectly. This is the perfect combo of fogs and heads that I have seen on any car. I'll be honest...I don't do many things right with my car, but I hit the nail on the head with this combo. I've had HIPER bulbs before and they fade extremely fast. They looked good for the first week and a half, then I threw them out.

The naxos shine blue. There is absoluetly no purple in the light. It is a perfect mixture of blue and super white. You should definently check them out.

"Imagine yourself driving..." in my maxima, and think about how much happier you would be!

Dude, do us a favor and stop flashing.

Are these over watt bulbs? And how do they hold up in rain/snow/whatever weather conditions?

Well I'm going through a snow storm right now, why not drive up to NJ? Anyway, so I assume you're running the upgrade harness?

Actually, I'm running the bulbs out of the stock harness...I've had them in there since around October, 2000.

Well, if they are over-wattage bulbs for those Naxos Xenon Blue, eventually your bulb sockets will burn out. I've had Eurolite 100/80 watt hyper white bulbs for about a year, and now, they are starting to burn my sockets. I hafta replace both sockets now and upgrade with the 100/80 wiring harness. The bulbs are still fine, so I would suggest to get upgrade to the hirness immediately, or else evetually, you will end up with the same situation I am in. Hey, has anyone ever compared Eurolite and Naxos Xenon blue headlamp bulbs? If so, are they the same exact color output? Thanks!
