Well, i got mine from another org member...

but regardless, chances are that if the headlights that are sold on ebay have broken top clips, yes, they're stollen.

if the lights sold on ebay have un-broken clips, chances are they're not stollen.

if the auction is for "parts" then i would think twice and possibly ask for receipts.

again, the majority of hid thefts involve ripping the headlight assemblies out of the car, breaking the clips.

Good job!!! Enjoy those HIDs and pls take pix to show them if possible. As for mines, I am still waiting for the clips and wiring harness to come. But I can't wait to install them.

It's snows here in MD/DC and i need better tires for winter. So i got some AE rims just for the winter....

I tried driving on the snow couple of weekends ago and i ran into a curb and bent my rim. So i had to order another one... so i decided that i needed some better tires for winter...

question here:

for those with with 2K and did the fog light rewire, the wire we made coming out of the relay box, should we tap that into the green wire for the parking lights or the same one we did before(red/yellow)?

I would say as long as it's still connected to the parking lights it would be fine.

Finally done!!!

After 5hrs and one cut finger, they are finally on my car!!! I am definitely impressed by these HIDs. They are so clean and white!!! But, I do have one minor problem. Does anyone know how to properly re-aim these HIDs, because I feel that they might be aimed a bit to low on the road. I don't want to blind oncoming car, but I do want to be able to see a bit further down the road. Thanks!!!

the white wheel/tab near the bottom center of the light. turn it. it's hard to wedge the socket in there but it can be done with a lot of struggle. i think nissan uses some sort of tool to push in and turn the wheel via the teeth... weird.
