youre right doublea...anything its better than the 2k-2k1 lights..I agree with you 100% thats why i jumped on one of these Ebay sets today..


Semper fi to my max!

 

The angel eues on these lights suck. You can see the bulb on the bottom of the angel eye .

 

why dont we get a GD going?? should i start one??

 

I'd like to hear from someone who actually OWNS these...or at least read the response from the guy who's selling them.

 

ne information yet ?

 

Let's wait and hear some feedback from people who actually bought a set.

 

i think the I30 version looks a whole mess cleaner. But there is nothing black high temp spray paint won't solve when it comes to these new maxima headlights. im curious about projectors and using the stock 2k and 2k1 housing so that is my next project. Here is what I thought of doing since i saw it on a prelude:

These are from an audi TT

 

instead of you ppl talkin **** that know nothing about these, wait till someone gets them before u startin hatin....

 

Never thought I'd say this but I agree.

 

ok so lets see some responses on these first, if they are good, ill start a GD

 

Hey, like you said let see the response about quality but if positive, I'm in for a set.

AA

 

ok sounds good.

 

what would happen fi you used hid with a halogen projector?

 

ill be in a for a set to, but i need goo dinformation on them, the ebay link sucks, will definitly have to wait till someone with a 2k gets them, and installs. i mean i have HID too, i want to know if the bulb will fit or what, and what about the 2 side bulbs that the 2k doesnt come with stock unlike the 2k2...well see, i like the way they look though

 

Jessa,your headlights look so SIK in your sig!!!!!

 

I have not received mine yet guys. Im waiting patiently and will hit you up with all the info you need as soon as i have them and figure em out.

 

I wanna see the install pics, hopefully everything works out alright.

 

The optics of a halogen projector is designed for a halogen bulb. If you put a D2R bulb in a halogen projector, the focal point would not line up, and you would end up with a lot of glair hurting oncomming drivers eyes, a non-even beam pattern, and a crappy cuttoff... (basically going against every reason to get a projector). Now aftermarket projectors are significantly worse than stock halogen projectors, so everything I stated above will most likely be 2X-3X worse.

That said, it wouldn't be too hard of a job to switch those projectors with a set of real D2R projectors, most likely running you about another $200 for real HID.

Received my tracking info, arriving friday. So I will take pics then and post and then install and everything and post pics after that.

If this means anything to anyone or helps anyone out, the package weighs 16 pounds.

 

ok cool cant wait to c some pics

 

keep us posted mang... this looks interesting. maybe we can just modify our 2k2 lamps just by adding some projectors. oh yeah.. that's not an i30. that was a prelude.

 

Whats the other differences between D2S and D2R bulbs besides the metal shielding on the D2R bulb? Can that metal shielding be taken off?

 

no..the base has additional cut outs on the D2R capsule..

 

what does GD mean?

 

GD = group deal

 

Ok. One of the guys here in Phx got the lights in. I snapped a few pics to show to you guys. These are definately a halogen setup, but the build quality seems to be very good and they look real sweet in person. HID guys will need to do some modding on these.

 

 

good sh** PHX...... are you still gogin to try and modify these for ur HID setup

PS thanx for the 2k1 MAF info you saved me alot of moeny and trouble bro
-J

 

I will be buying HID projectors to install in these. I definately like them alot.

 

i think the look pretty sweet as well. i would get them if i didnt already have the 2K2 HIDS. It still has the spot where you can place the HID Ballast on the bottom.

 

quick question for those of you getting these...is it an H7 or H1 bulb in back?

 

That looks like an H3, no? Umnitza I'm not questioning you on this one cause you def know a lot more about lighting than I do. But if it IS an H3 bulb I def would not put a D2R bulb in there! A retro with a HID projector looks easy enough to work with there though...

-James

 

OH ****!! That looks freggin awsome... someone needs to make those HID capable.

 

Did they send you a tracking number? I received an e-mail stating that tracking numbers aren't provided to ensure security and to avoid fraud from taking place .

 

Looks pretty nice. Got picture of it mounted on a Maxima?

 

What type of bulb is used in the projector...looks to be H3. How in the world could that be? And if that is the case, ahhh don't put a D2R/S bulb anywhere near that hole. Anyhow best case they are H7, thats because H7 and D2S are nearly the same all you need to do is buy a cheap adapter and they will fit in with a perfect cut off.

 

H3 55 1450 ECE. Transverse filament. Fog and drive lamps.

The H3 bulb, while not all that common is likely to ge the one that is pictured there.

If you are going to do an HID retrofit, which is not a bad idea, you can look into H3C, but those are usually reserved for Fog lights.

Hmmmm....very strange.

Can't imagine the halos looking all that good however, but the light looks promising overall.

 

But I believe the way that H3 bulb is mounted the filalment is vertical, so theoretically the optics of the projector are designed to bounce the light from that source. A D2R bulb has a horizontal arc, not vertical. From everything I've ever read on HID fitment, don't put an hid bulb in an H3 socket, optics are completely different.

I know a civic that has cheep aftermarket projectors with ghetto dim halo's and H3's go into the projectors. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a more horrible beam pattern.

 

Yeah I emailed the guy like only one time and he said a tracking number would be the day after it was shipped. It was shipped out on monday and sure enough on tuesday I received a tracking number on tuesday. Is the email something like vitbcde???

 

What kind of bulbs do you use if you have a 2000 Max. Is that an H3??

I guess what I am asking is the same bulb that I use with my headlights now are the same that you use with these?
