Which ones?

Which ones?
Please excuse my ignorance guys. But I'm going to do this mod and would really like input, as these bulbs are pricey. I'm sure this topic is beat to death and I apologize but I couldn't find a clear answer in the my search. Which bulbs is everyone using from the xtreme site? Is it the first ones that are just the bulb or is the second picture that is a kit of some kind?

I did 2 since there are 4 bulbs total. I love the brightness! I also went with 6k and love how they match up to the stock DRL's. I know someone who went with the 5k and sent them back. That is the nice thing about DD, you have 30 days to return if you are not happy. They are a great company and you can get all your lighting needs at one place.

are you sure 5K wouldn't be closer to the DRLs ?

The wire is just longer on the plug but it should still plug right into the factory socket.

I'm not sure but I think you may be looking at the wrong connection. All the lights that I know of on most cars are snap style. In fact all the lights on any car I've ever owned have been snap in style.

The bulb I pulled from my fog housing looks like the halogen bulb with three metal tabs that hold the bulb in. And the diode dynamics bulbs I received look like ones shown with a plastic click in . These are two different styles ? Or are they interchangeable
#16
Yes but I haven't installed them yet. My mechanic is installing my eibach springs tomorrow so I'm having go ahead and do the bulbs also. Frasierts said he ordered those same bulbs and they work well. He hasn't responded but I would imagine he received the same type of bulb and they fit just fine. I will know tomorrow if they work or not.

Let me know what he says ! I am really curious if usually these cars have that style connector and mine is an oddball. Or hopefully the connectors are Interchangeable. I really don't want to send these back. You can see what connector type you have by looking into the front of the housing. If there are three metal tabs it is the other style.

I just spoke to the diode dynamics customer service regarding this issue, and this was their reply:
"It appears there is an error in our listing; sorry about that. Check out the link below for our XML2 bulb for your Maxima! Our XML2 in Pure White (5000K) would look great with your DRLs!

I called this morning as well and am really happy diode dynamics has a great return policy. They are sending out the proper bulbs for me as well. I went with a set of 6k and a set of 3k and am going to see if it looks good with two different bulks in
#23
Did the rep tell you that the 6k would match better? Cuz he told me that the 5k match up better with the drl. I have the factory led low beams in my car so I'm hoping the 5k match the drl cuz I don't want 3 different color bulbs. But I also don't want to have to exchange them again. The guy at diode said that the 5k are def a better match. I guess I shall see. Let me know how yours work out. Curious now to know if the 6k I originally was gonna get were a better choice.

i have this setup, as well. 3ks inside, 6k outside... but halogens. leds doesn't work well for me here at san francisco, ca. i can try to get a good shot tonight.
#32
Just installed my diode dynamics LEDs and they look sweet. I chose the wrong bulbs and they shipped me the correct ones super fast. The passenger side inside bulb was really hard to put in but finally I pushed really hard and it went . I might be tempted to switch the 3k to the inside and 6k outside but not for a while ! I will post more pics later when it's dark out.

btw, by 3K you mean the OEM halogens ? or you got two pairs of DD LEDs, one 3K and other one 6K ?

Went with the 5k. Everyone tells me they match the led factory low beams pretty well. Idk I'm still on the fence about it but I seriously don't want to go through the hassle of removing and waiting for new bulbs. I think I can live with the look but in my opinion they are not a direct match to the drl. I'll post the best pic I could get for now. I'll try for better ones.

I'm most likely going to get these next. I went through a bunch of cheap LED's and was not satisfied with the color or the output. The 5k color looks like it matches perfectly. But how is the glare with that much output in the reflector housings? They look very bright based on a few images but I do not want to blind oncoming drivers.
