I've been wondering about this for a while now, why does Nissan have to put crappy 9004 headlights and a bad reflector (both 95-95 and 97-99) on the Maxima. Back in 95-99 this was Nissan's flagship sedan. My friends 95 Altima has a really nice beam pattern. It uses 9003 (H4) bulbs and has a nice cut-off and the Altima is a lower model than a Maxima. I guess Nissan didn't realize until 2000 that the Maxima had a not-so-good housing with crappy 9004 bulbs.

 

Gotta love the enigne though.

HID's weren't standard in the G35 back in 2002, but they were standarad on the Max, even the rare GXE.

 

Nissan has a weird way with things. I heard the new 2005 Nissan Frontier doesnt come with a keyless entry remote even with the Power Package, yet you can buy one and use it because its already prewired for one.

 

Yup they sure do. I see my ehadlights next to a friends 94-5 prelude and that housing is much better, IMO. In 97 it's slightly improved, but not by much.

 

Yet the Cefiro in Japan had the one piece H4 headlights all along...

 

Just like they had the MEVI all along too.

 

why doesnt the 4th gen maxima have the lock/unlock button on the front paassenger side?

 

Because we drive on the drivers side?

 

i know that, i mean most cars with power locks, both driver and pasenger have the unlock/lock button.

 

5th gens don't have a key hole on the passenger side door either. I am really not sure why they don't have that. If you lock or unlock the front passenger door from the inside (or do it 2x from the outside) then it will do it to all the doors. So just don't have a switch but you can still lock and unlock all of the doors.

 

because on the passenger side you can lock all the doors by pushing in the lock on the door. Why should the passenger have the control to unlock all the doors in the car? The driver is enough

 

Exactly, I want to be in control, why should the passenger?

 

With all doors unlocked, a passenger can lock all doors with the lock switch on the passenger side. Cannot unlock all doors though. That's how it is on my car.

 

atleast we do have the option of changing from 95-96 lights to a 97-99. the 95 lights were horrible. i see better now with 97. the lock thing, i dont know of any other cars giving the passenger option to control the locks. my old 01 civic, sisters 02 accord, and moms 02 odessey dont have it. yeah its a hondur but just using it as reference.
