3 things i can think of... try some white LEDs, remove the bulbs completely/disable them, or put in orange bulbs

honestly i think the orenge takes away the clean look you get with hids, dont get me wrong i like how orenge looks but it just dont look good that close to the hids. i say do the leds in there, thats what im thinkin about doing to mine. right now i have them chrome bulbs you get at autozone that are a xenon white. they are dim but they are the only bulb so far taht i have found that doesnt look nasty next to the hids.

LED white bulbs will have a blue hue to it. What color HIDs did you put in? If 6000k, most white LEDs have that color. If 8000k, I think www.jlevisw.com has them.

Most LEDs are not plug and play; they require a bypass or they will throw off warning lights... be careful when upgrading to LEDs

On Maximas it is not a problem. Since it does not have light out warnings like BMWs.

Autolumination has them too, so you may as well as buy the LED + resistor kits from the same place, be it Autolumination or Superbrightleds.com
