JYMax,

Just wanted to find out how many times your HIDs have gotten ripped. Also, did you go through your insurance to get them replaced each time or did u do the work yourself? And finally, did get the datadots done and have a harness put on? If so, were the theifs still able to rip them out of your car?

I just had mine ripped from my car this past saturday in Menlo Park, NJ. I Was wondering if theres anything else I can do besides the datadots, harness, and alarm system to keep this from happening again. I'm reluctant to convert my 02 to 01. They're so much more esthetically pleasing. Even if you ARE behind the wheel and not always lookin at the headlights.

Yeah I read many posts on this site with people who have had data dots done had the best luck. Well sort of. In a few cases only one headlight was ripped out instead of two.

Was this at the menlo park mall? If so..avoid woodbridge even more so. Do not go to any malls in these area. Never take it to garden state plaza. Never to willowbrook mall in wayne.

Heck...don't drive it anywhere

That sucks you guys have to worry about that. HID theft is not an issue here in Albuquerque, I have a couple of buddys with 02, maximas and they havent had any problems. And ive never seen a 2k or 2k1 with HIDs.

You can wire it so that your low beams stay on when you activate high beams.

Just wire some C2 to you lights, as soon as their pulled off, the car will explode, Killing the HID theifs.... And if the insurance company asks what happened, say they tried to steal your HIDs and since they couldnt have them no one could, so they blew themselves up along with your maxima....
