New to this forum. Of all the BITOG forums this is the one I visit the least. So please bear with me.
So one of the bulbs in my wife's 2004 Nissan Xterra has gone out.
I went by NAPA yesterday and grabbed a couple NAPA brand bulbs for her vehicle. They come in a little cardboard box and run $10 each.
I really don't care for the "blue" bulbs, that blind you from 4 lanes over, that seem to be popular. I just want something that is like the OEM but won't cost an arm and a leg.
Also, being that they come in little cardboard boxes, and that I've worked with Halogen bulbs in college. Should I wipe them down with alcohol first, before I install them, to make sure they are truly clean?
It is something that we did in college that made the lights last longer, it eliminates the oils and grease that supposedly isn't on a new bulb.
Any installation tips?
