2k3 Headlights

Would the Zeon Headlight assembly fit onto a 2000 Maxima? Or what would be best to convert from stock to Zeon without buying cheap bubls that blow after a month?

the 2k2/2k3 xenon headlights fit the 2k/2k1

it would be better to get the 2k2/2k3 headlights because they have a different headlight system for the low and high. if you just do a conversion kit on the 2k/2k1 you wont have low beams unless you get those expensive low/high HID conversion kits

basicly, i would suggest getting the 2k2/2k3 HID, they're good and the low/high beams are seprated which is more easier to work with.

Yes, the Xenon headlights from a 2k2 or 2k3 would fit into a Maxima. If you buy them brand new, they run you about $700 per headlight assembly. If you see them for cheaper than that anywhere, then they could be stolen, and probably won't work or fit the car correctly.

If you do a search on the board (which you should've done before you asked) you will see about a million posts regarding this type of question.

asking this question is fine. dont worry about the inapropriate search comment.

he is new, cut him some slack, and welcome him!!!

the hid's will fit. many get them off ebay for about $500 for a set. although, many of them seem to be stolen, you shouldnt have a fit problem.

try the 'search' function at the top of the page and you will find details about the wiring you need (easy job).

Thanks MaxAppeal, I'm not sure how i feel about having stolen parts on my car being that i have had one of my cars stolen before. Thanks for informing me about the wiring also.

Don't install them. You're going to worry more and more about your car with those headlights. Stick with your stock headlights.

Actually, if you're worried about them getting stolen so much, don't forget about the HID Anti-Theft Kit mentioned on the .org here before, that Courtesy Nissan sells:

I'm not really sure how they works. The page also mentions that Nissan didn't include installation instructions. I merely mentioned them because I saw a post on here before with a link to them, added them to my favorites, and here we are now...

Like it says, this is a hood lock kit. Doesn't do anything to the HIDs, just allows you to lock the hood so the thief has to spent an extra 30 seconds and screw up your hood before he steals your HIDs.

This is a related question to the headlights...any idea of where I can get Angel Eyes for a 2k2 headlight that I'm buying for my 2k Maxima? I love the look.
