Look awesome. How's the light output with them?

Looks like you've got a paint chip or...two on your bumper there.

Thanks guys. I will post more pics when i get finished. It will be a little bit for the cut off pics because i dont have the right bulbs (packages got mixed up, should have them next week)

The light output is also yet to be seen beause of the bulbs.

Pic of the angle eyes


As for the paint chips they were cause by a deer (i was lucky)

Nice work, what did you use for projectors? BMW Mercedes what? Nice job.
Everytime I see this mod, I want to drop the bux and just do it. But I'm afraid I'd screw it up.

MorpheusZero you are correct maxgtr2000 did the work for me and they are great.

200kmax and jsmax the projectors are from a 2004 audi A4 and S4 (sorry the TT's were the one i was gonna buy) . Like i said before i got shipped the wrong bulbs (1 d2s and 1 d2r) But i have put the d2s in and the cutoff is great i will post pics tonight. And when i get the nec bulbs i will put them in and aim them and take some pics of the beam pattern.

Hey thanks for the compiments. The total price for the lights after everything was said and done was about $650 ($235 for the ballasts and bulbs, $120 for the prjectors, $150 for stock maxima housings, and $155 for the retro)

http://www.forums.maxima.org/showthr...19#post4346319

there is the link to maxgtr2000 retro service thread. as you can see on it, it says to talk to me about parts. the guys that i bought my parts from told me since i bid and paid so fast on my items that he would give a discount if i threw people his way. so let me know when you start wanting to buy parts and i will search for you. hope this helps if you have any questions let me know.

It was a little pricy but everytime i go outside and look at my car it was worth it, plus i would bet that im the only one in Louisville KY with the mod. Not positive but pretty sure. Thanks for all the compliments.

Yeah quoting myself, but just thought id post i saw a white 97-99 max tonight with a retro as well looked like he had the single projector bi-xenon though. Looks real good and the funny thing is he live about 2minn away. If he is on here kudos on the lights, they look sweet.

Looks good. Dual retrofits aren't really my cup of tea, but then again it's not my car

very beautiful setup. I wish I had the money to do so. Have fun with those.
If I had those, I would take them out and use them for show only. I wouldn't want to get those ruined after I paid that much.

That would be a huge waste of money. These are a function-over-form mod. If you're going to spend that much, may as well use them for all they're worth.

Sure, I worry about it with my car...but hey, life goes on.

They are simple $20 eBay fog lights. Just got them. Check out my thread in the member's rides section if you want to know more about them or see more pics.
