I bought a 2000 SE in November. I love the car, but I want new headlights. I'm not going to spend the kind of money Nissan wants for them, and I'm not going to steal any. A buddy of mine works at a Ford dealership and he told me a 2003 Maxima just came in. I guess the car is a total loss. So he talked to his boss and asked if we can take the headlights. Will 2003 headlights work in a 2000?? If so what do I need( wireharness etc etc..)

Any help is good help thanks

Why would a 2003 totaled Max end up at a Ford dealer??

 

Beating up the on his first post?

 

yes yes . ther is a special write up

 

Why would a 2003 totaled Max end up at a Ford dealer??

Probably because he's in Utah....do they have Nissan dealers there?

...and this thing is totaled yet the HIDs are intact? Lucky break.

 

Must have been rear ended by a big truck or something.

 

thats wierd

 

Well i know here in Louisville, there is a ford dealership and a nissan dealership connected together owned by the same people. Maybe that's how.

 

Apparently I'm not the only one less than eager to help a newbie with HID replacement questions. Shocker.

If it was on any other topic...

 

Probably the Maxima got traded in and a freakin Rail Truck delivering the new ford cars and whack the Maxima by accident.......it happens

 

....so are you just a good person or are you afraid God will smite you down if you steal HIDs from one of the mormons?

Anyhow, if it's truly legit I'm not gonna get on you for getting HIDs...hell, I'd like them but cannot justify spending a grand to get them....and obviously am not interested in stealing ANYTHING! That said, you would have to get wiring harnesses, etc....from what I've read around here.

So...how many wives do you have? j/j

 

Well it sounded to good to be true and it was. So Im keeping the regular headlights...What does everyone think of the HID conversions with the stock headlight capsul.What brand should I be looking for?

 

They arent HIDS but the PIAA Xtream whites are a good choice. Thats what i have and i like em. They arent ricey blue, but a nice white with a hint of blue.

 

Do the AE headlights with the PIAA's

 

I have a set of HID's for your 2k maxima. Just swapped out to stock HID"s and I have no need for my aftermarket kit. They are made by SPW Industries, 7,500k, part #SPW70.10.54, Hella Ballasts and Phillips bulbs. They even have a functional high beam. It is a deflector that when activated allows the light to reflect off the bottom of the lamp projecting the beam upward. Looking to get $275.00 shipped. pm me
