This is the 2nd time in 6 months of having my 2k2 that the headlights were stolen.

I live in Bayside Queens (NYC) and two other cars on my block were hit in the same night within 5 minutes of each other.

The reason I'm posting is I'm wondering if anyone on this board has attempted to put NON-HID (2000-2001) headlights on a 2002. As far as I can tell there is no way to prevent these lights from being stolen.

I have done the following to protect my self, with no luck:

Bolt kit, care of Tim (thanks anyway Tim)
Viper Alarm
X10 Camera for my drive way.

They went right up to the car with crow bars, and pried both headlights out. They were wearing hoods so you can't really see anything on camera.

I heard the alarm going off, and by the time I got down stairs (to my drive way) the theives were gone, with my lights.

 

sorry to hear that, I think it is possible to do, people put 2k2 light on 2k-sk1 cars, I don't see why you couldn't do it otherwise.
you should move out of NYC or get a garage

 

Yes, I've sold a pair of 2K1 headlamps to a guy in NY to replace his 2K2 headlamps.

BTW, you may want to meet up with this guy in Long Island to EXPRESS your feelings: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....5&pagenumber=1

Sorry by the way, hope insurance covers it!

 

Good luck....maybe you should put up a sign for the stupid thief so he doesn't get confused.

something like..."jacka$$...these aren't HID's!"

 

That totally sucks, man!

If your insurance gives you a brand new set of HIDs and you're serious about swapping out, I have some nice AE lights on my car that I'd love to trade with you! Of course, I'd still owe you some $$, but think about it.

I have some nice 00 lights that are in great shape too that I would be willing to swap as well. And I'd owe you money too of course...
