Need a write up on 2k2-2k3 headlight install

I've search everywhere, except here because the search is off, and I can't find a write up or tutorial how to install 2k2-2k3 headlights on my 2000 Maxima.
Anyone care to help me out?

If you can find a way to remove the tailights from your 00 GXE, then you can install the 02 tails. They're the exact same light as far as I know. You just do a direct swap.

It's an easy procedure. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to do. If you don't want to do it, just take it to Autozone and they'll do it for you dirt cheap and quick as hell.

Good luck.

Arnold, don't want to step on your toes, but he mentioned he was looking for headlight removal instructions.
housecor has a pretty good step by step process on headlight removal on his site. Check the following link.

I think mounting them won't be a problem but the wiring might be. I heard I need a wiring harness of some sort because it uses different bulbs and (v) and (w) are different. ANyone have a complete write up?

Me too! Help!

I have the 2k3 lights installed now. I got the turn signals, low beams (HID), and clearance lights to work BUT the high beams won't work. I cut the harnesses out of the 2k3 and transferred them over with the 2k3 housings and wired them to the appropriate wires in the 2k1 but the high beams still don't work.

SEmy2K2go, I'll let it slide this time just because of the sexy glacier pearl...oh that sweet, sweet pearl. I must say though, your screen name is weak. I'm sure you thought it up and got all excited. You threw down some high-fives and touched it a bit...but I'll be the first to say I don't care for it. Hopefully I've opened the floodgates to an issue that I'm sure most people have wanted to say for awhile now...your hot and tempting glacier pearl can't save you this time.
