Thanks! Its actually kinda ugly in person. Needs paint real bad.

When I get it painted in the Spring, Im replacing the headlights, cornermarkers, window moldings, side windows, tailights, and doorhandles.

Hopefully, I'll have a "new" car. Ive got most of the rattles/vibrations out, and Ive got a spotless new-like interior going in later. That and some new carpet.

I had the same bulbs in my 99 SE-L and they work great in the snow and the fog. Looks Good!

Your car looks good with SE-L wheels. Fogs look much better than 11 years old foggy lens. I heard PIAA Ion Crystal bulbs are great in bad weather.

What color are you planning to paint your car? I painted my car a few years ago (BMW CarbonBlack) and yeah, it looks like 5 years younger. :cool:

yeah, considering i don't have to pay shipping thats excellent. the only problem is, I ordered them last saturday. they said they'd be there this tuesday. they didn't come, told me to stop by thursday, so I did. told me yesterday that they are on backorder. greeeeeeeeeeeeat, I knew $22 is too good to be true. but anyways, I'm happy they look good and work great.
Speaking of bodywork, I'm replacing my front bumper with a new one because the paint is chipping and i got hit twice. gotta save for spring, no reason to do it for the winter. but i can't wait to get her painted and looking brand spankin new.

So the 'H3 Ion Crystal' PIAAs desciption is:

This technology transforms white light into amber light without diminishing the strength of the beam, providing greater output than a standard dyed lens.

Anyone have updated pictures? The ones in this thread do not work.

No kidding. I'm looking to upgrade the fogs in my SE, and I really want some yellow ones. :)

I had the Ion Crystal bulbs in my 99 SE-L and they work great in snow,rain, or fog but aren't very bright on a normal dark road.

I dropped the dough and did the same thing. The replacement units from Courtesy are the shit, they stomp on the stock fogs. The glass is much clearer and mine came with Piaa bulbs. Not IONs though.

Brent

Are you referring to the lenses themselves? I was under the impression that they're factory Nissan replacements, and the same as stock.
