Hi, about 3 months ago I got a HID kit from Phillips. Its for the 9004 bulbs. Which im sure you all know is our head light bulbs. I really love the way they look. And of course the way they shine. BUT....i was never told i lose my high beams when i put the kit in. So i payed 600+ for just low beams...does anyone know away i can get high beams? Maybe use a different kit? I have PIAA fogs so its not like i need the high beams but it won't pass inspection like this.Oh and if you ever wondered what HID looks like on a max click the link below i think i have a pic of my car at night.

I'm from Harrisburg, PA...its winter time life here sucks!!! I can't waite for spring. BTW the HID conversion is not illegal if i have high beams. Thats why im looking for a kit that includes them. And yes i know that maximas don't have room for two bulbs thats why we have 9004 bulbs.

What About....

Doing the BMW 3 series headlight conversion and then getting your HID? That way you can still have your highbeams.... At least that is what I would do

I thought I've seen your maxima before... I'm not far from Harrisburg. I live in Reading, PA. Your maxima is really nice. PA laws suck... no wonders you can't pass inspection lol. I know a way you can pass inspection without high-beams. One of my friend's is licensed for State Inspections. That's how I passed.. cuz mine isn't street legal.
