This is what they look like installed on an Xterra, though they'll also fit Frontiers... Gives a more modern and cleaner "cal look" to the front end, I guess. TBD if the light output is actually better (just getting dark here now, after install - I'll update).

The headlight bulbs are 9004 Sylvania SilverStars - nice, white light without the blue rice look. Obvious against H3/35w fog lights; replace these bulbs with H3/55w SilverStars as well to match if preferred (I plan to replace my fog lights along with the bumper). Besides, glass lenses are almost $30 apiece for the stock fog lights. Screw that.

The top parking lamp is type 194 and as stock is clear; replacement is amber for more consolidated look and since amber side panel is now absent, would shoot white light sideways - a no-no. Personal preference here really. I might replace with silver-coated (amber when lit) bulbs as well to remove orange reflection when not lit.

Ive used silverstars for awhile now and I love um...they are not so good in the rain but at all other times they are great.

Why don't you find them good in the rain (haven't experienced this yet)? I had them out in the snow and the white light with the white snow makes for some sweet illumination...

The dont show up on the road like a more yellow light does so while you can still see just fine you dont see the beam on the road like before.

FYI, this is the whole thread with more pictures, etc.
