I'm thinking it needs a resistor? But I have no idea what value to look for. L. Previous owner of a 99 Mystique V6 MTX Black Current owner of a 2004 Maxima SE MTX Silver Forsale: Yakima roof rack. Q-towers, bars, clips, locks. Good condition.

I dont know what you would want to go with but you gotta remember those Bulbs require 12v. They might malfunction being under powered. 95 SES Sold 99 SE Sport Sold 99 SVT T-Red Tan Interior. K&N, Magnecors, 19' Theorys, And some audio stuff.
