I just bought these 9004 lights and according to some other posts, many people said that 9004 is the light for 2K Max So I bought them. But when I took my light apart, I realized that they don't even come close to fit. What can I do with those lights? Can I perhaps use them as fog lights?
If I can't, I will return them.

9004 is for 3rd and 4th gen, you need H4 lights. The fogs are H3, so those lights won't do you any good.

That's what I've seen on cross references... are you asking because I'm wrong or you're not sure either? I'm pretty sure it is... wait from the Piaa website, an H4 bulb is also 9003 or HB2, there.

I wasn't sure and it was the first time I've ever heard that reference so thus my post.

Always check the FAQs before buying anything. It helped me with the Addco RSB

Re: H4 headlight, H3 foglight

Speaking of headlights (I don't recall this showing up anywhere, but I've only been lurking for a couple weeks), have you guys found anyone that has good deals on the PIAA Super Whites? I had some on my Pathfinder and they were an excellent upgrade. I guess that leads to another question, ARE they an upgrade over the H4's, or isn't it worth it?

Thanks,
Mike
