Those with nissan 2000 projector headlights

Sup guys well i got the projector headlights and I like them. I installed them and wire etc etc and they look nice, some of u guys might disagree, but the bulb is ah lil too yellow and dark for me. Its ah lil hard to see especially with this kind of weather so i was thinking of changing the bulbs, Also i was thinking is there a way to change the color of the lil tiny bulb for the angel eye rings? I want them blue. Anyways my major reason of asking is because im clueless with light bulbs. Is the regular headlight bulbs h2 or h3???? And what bulbs are for the high beams??? And what brand or what not would be a good option for me to go with? (prefer ah lil blue in them) AAAAAnd this is for the projectors not the regular headlights. Help Me Out guys Search icon isnt working. Drive Safe for everyone the weathers terrible right now Peace

ok so the regular bulb is an h3...i went with the piaa super plasma for the headlight and the foglight....and its blue...


the high beams are an h1 i believe...i didnt bother changin those cuz i dont use them too often...i also used the piaa 7443 super whites for the blinker those are nice....and the piaa 168 wedge bulb white in the clearance light above the blinker gave off a similar light...i tryed the piaa white/blue wedge bulb 168 in the clearance light but it was way to blue and didnt match the rest of the lights...as for the halo bulb never tried to repace that....good luck

I just finished putting in 6000k Mcculloch HID kit in mine and it looks awesome, true, the beam pattern is kind of weird looking, but it's less noticeable in the front with HIDs than halogen but more noticeable on the sides due to the HIDs being MUCH brighter.

Dr. Roy has a writeup for replacing the LEDs in the Angel Eyes and it makes a BIG difference.

The projectors on these are crap and if you want good performance, I suggest doing a retrofit with some acura projectors like Dr. Roy is working on.

Good Luck and enjoy the compliments you'll get, regardless of the negative stuff that is said about them on this org.
