http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=446173

$35 seems like a good deal, especially since i'm not very eletrically inclined. But i just want to make sure that this will work with all of my stock wiring without worry of frying them. Is this good to go?

Thanks

I wanna actually make an upgraded harness like the write up says but like 86maxima96, i'm not that electrically inclined. And the ones they sell on the internet are like 45-55 bucks!!

can anyone tell me what the relays are for??

i guess what i'm asking is should I buy it? it seems like a good deal and much cleaner than using relays. But if it is going to cause more trouble down the line, then i don't think it's worth it. i'm just trying to find out if this kit is safe or not.

Ive heard there isnt that much of a difference in the 9007 conversion. Its noticeable, but not eye poping.

yes, that's true and compared to HID's, it's like "why bother?" but the other night, when my car was actually running, I was just so pissed at the awful light output of my 9004's at night. I was looking into converting to 9007 soon, but after seeing someone elses conversion it looked really messy and confusing. I have heard nothing but good things from people who have done the conversion and this seems like a simple, clean alternative.

regardless of how much better tha 9004 it will be, an upgrade is an upgrade, will this kit work "no worries, mate!" or is there still a high risk of something not working in the near future?

relays do away with voltage drops. your lights will be brighter and last longer.

this mod is too easy.
if you can connect wires, you can do this.
i say, for an improvement like this, why NOT do it?
but i just connected 9007 harness to stock wires so..

The only thing that held me back was that you have to shave those 2 nubs in the housing .... or so I thought. But everyone here sounds like they did the mod and got around doing so.

I guess the question is how do you get around shaving the nubs.

I am very disappointed in my 9004 output.

I just took a knife and scraped it off. It kinda just crumbled away real easily.
I only had to scrape off 1 nub, not 2.
Just try it out, this concept is really simple.
