How well did they seal? Have you had any issue's with moisture getting in them? A good way to test if they sealed well is to use steam iron or a fog machine "dry ice" around where you sealed them to the back of the stock headlights.

Just buy the HID kit from Hidtech. For $449 you get two projectors, and a hella bixenon (which means high AND low beam) HID kit.

The lights are nice and good looking, but you should've used the Hella, Valeo, and Bosch brand instead of the SC300/ES300 projectors. The BMW/ Mercedes/Audii projectors are far superior in lighting output, and cut off. Plus they give off the rainbow cutoff effect.
As for using dual projector- Its a pain. I dont think anyone has done this because of not enuff space between the lense to fit two projectors. As for HIDtech they know alot about retros, and they're the one to ask for technical questions.

Is it hard putting two projectors instead of one? Only one looks good but look too much like eyes for me so 2 would be great. A big one and a small one near the center of the car.

Hey I have a quick question. I asked HIDTech but they kinda didn't help me out. By ordering those 449.99 projector headlights, do you get the whole assembly (projectors installed in brand new headlights)? Or do you have to send in your headlights and they install the projectors for you?

You get the projectors.ballest,cables and bulbs. If your want them to install it it's an extra $300.00

This man is correct.

Also, if you're going order the 449 kit, I suggest tacking on the extra money for the Type E shrouds. That is the shroud they use in all of their Maxima retrofits and it looks great.
