What Kind Of Bulbs Do You Have?!!!

For about the last month i've been looking for some new headlight and corner light bulbs and I want them to be a hyper white bluish color. BUT I WANT THEM TO MATCH!!! What do you guys put on you Maximas. Give Brand, Bulb number, and try and show some pics so I can get an idea. THANKS!!!

good luck

I tried many combinations and never got any bulbs to match. I have ran silverstars, cool blues, wagner truviews, & APC hypers for headlights. along with those i have tried chrome dipped 1157's (auto zone), APC hypers, xenon lighting (wal-mart) and none of the setups matched at all. finally i put sylvania silverstar 1157's (look blue when off, amber when lit). the contrast looks good i think. i now have 8000K HID's ( www.xenondepot.com ) with APC Xenon ambers and they have a great contrast. if you have clear headlights and corners, it makes it much easier to match them up. good luck bro.

hahaha nice pic in signature.. I was like, holy shiat, this guy's maxima looks like mine and his neighbourhood looks like mine.. oh wait, that is my maxima.. hahaha btw, the headlights in that pic, I am running HID's..

as for matching bulbs, good luck... I was lucky enough to be able to match the oranges on my max ( all the oranges front and back are equal output)..

but trying to get the same "tone/light output" with "hyper white bulbs" is harder... may I suggest sticking with one company ( meaning silverstars all around?)

ive heard good things about nokya bulbs. I am personally running silverstars on my 5spd, on my auto i have philips crystal vision, im very happy with those too, 30CAD for 2 bulbs and they have already lasted longer then my silverstars. Ill be using those from now on.
