I got a response that the lights are $1200 with everything and the whole backing? (what does that exactly mean?) and $740 for just the headlight and mounting.... I just want the headlight and mounting right? I dont need the backing do I?

 

"backing"? ummm no.. have no clue what they are talking about (and I doubt they do either). You need the housings (with ballast and burners), and you need all the connectors. The connectors are (if I remember correctly) something like $35 more. They are way off with that 700/1200 thing.

To clarify, since I just went through this process, Courtesy Nissan will sell the pair, with housing and ballast, as 2k2 stock, everything except the connection plugs for about $1,000 (just lowered price).

The connectors/plugs from Dave Burnette 800-251-7278 from Town North Nissan run $74 for the set.

 

if you guys are going to do a GD, set up a new thread

 

i think if we can get about 10-15 guys together we can get at least $200 knocked off the price for a pair of 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT HIDs. so far, i've had 3 guys email me and tell me theyre interested. now, im no mathematician so i busted out the calculater and figured out that 3 is no where near 10 or 15.

guys, i am not going to waste my time and the sellers time by coming to them with 4 buyers.

 

Ill get a set

 

the problem is getting 10-15 guys that will spend that much on headlights... after the fact no less.

 

I'am in. I will get a set.

 

That right there is like 5 or 6

 

I'm in for a set if the price is right.

 

Is the installation of the HIDs easy? Is it something that I can do myself? Any splicing and soldering required?

Thanks,
J.

 

I'm down if the price is right

 

How do I put a pic on this post?

 

Installation is easy. There is splicing but no soldering. You need to get the headlights from a Nissan dealer, 2 clips and plugs. The plugs you can get from DaveB. The wiring/splicing is purely to convert the plugs from your pre 2k2 Maxima to the new plugs so that it can plug into your new lights. Dixi at dsuthar@comcast.net can point you to his website with full instructions and illustrations.

Good luck!!!

 

yeah it will fit, thanks to Dixit's writeup. thats fool(me)- proof.
ROger

 

When I splice it, I just cut the wires and tape them together?

 

How much did you pay for your set>?

 

Including the stock housing and the stock Xenon set, with plugs, I paid $1,074. Have you seen for less?

 

Well ya, I can get them wholesale. So I can get it less now because of a friend but I havent seen them with the wiring included much lower than that that is regular price.

 

i'm thinking about selling sets of 2002 maxima stock HID headlights for $850 to peeps on this board and making a lil cash... and saving them money....

 

Should be a popular board!

 

Im in if we can get a good deal.

 

How do you plan on doing this?

 

Well, my friends sister works at an independant car dealership that uses cars at auctions. They get all parts from all car dealerships for wholesale prices. Well the 2002 HID Stock Headlight assembly without wiring is like $730 wholesale, but I would sell it for $850 saving people over $150 and making about a $100. I havent decided if I will do it or not yet, depends on the offers.

 

Sounds pretty cool..
If you make $120 each unit.. you think you can call Courtesy or somewhere else.. and get yourself a GD on the wiring kits?
Then just sell them to us that way..

This way you are selling COMPLETE kits for $150 under cost

Sounds good to us

 

haha, but the wiring kits are only an additional $70 bucks anyways. So you would be saving the same amount of money either way.

 

I would be interested in 2002 OEM HID's.....

 

No I'm saying you get a GD on them..
And still sell the HIDs for $850

This way.. your atleast selling a complete kit.

Its pretty cool and alot would probably go for it. But I do know alot of people that if they need to go buy wiring kit somewhere else.. then the lights from you.. they get a little lazy about it.

Your still making some money off us at that point.

 

Only would be if Courtesy agreed. Thats not really my decesion but I can ask.

 

There is a Nissan dealer near me that will sell the entire kit for $800, and would be willing to give us a better group deal depending on the # of units we buy. I would be happy to set this up if we can get alot of ppl in on this.

 

So what would the total be?

 

$800 for the whole kit? That's a steal!

 

Start a thread in the GD forum to get an idea of interest in the set. We might be surprised, specially for a good price like that.

 

For $800 for everything, I'll buy a set

 

I paid $400/set. thats rite, for two of them. used though

 

Sure they were not stolen? Where did you get them? were the tabs missing

 

I got the HIDs from a member of the org earlier this year. Not sure if they were stolen, but it didn't have the white tabs. he sold his AE and parted most of his mods.

 

Where at?

 

Where at?

 

Hey lets talk seriously about this. anyone interested in doing this lets get people together to get a group buy. If you can do this FloridaBornMax for $800 for both with ballasts i am in
