I purchased a HID kit off of custom maxima about 2 months ago and this past weekend the ballast burnt out. I called custom maxima and now they no longer carry this product. WTF???? They wont let me return it and they dont have anything to replace it with. I contacted the company that makes them and they told me it will take about a month to get a replacement cause they need to order it from china. So my $400 hid kit is now a paper weight. Does anyone have any ideas where i can get a ballast or how to fix them or anything? Any help would be much appreciated. But on a positive note Im gettin my aero kit painted and put on today so that puts me i a better mood!

 

Have you contacted Dave B on this one? He seems to be the resident guru on everything Maxima...
I wish I would point you in the right direction-just stay away from ebay aka theives' paradise unless you can authenticate and verify the source of replacement parts.

 

Why don't u stop the charge on your CC for the HID kit?

 

Ive had the kit for 2 months and I already paid for it. I thought that I would be ok considering that it is Custom Maxima that I bought the kit from but I guess I was wrong cause they stopped carring it.

 

that's just there customer service

Next time go with SouthWestAuto Works.

BTW- You can take CM to court. It's illegal to sell Retrofit HID kits now.

Tell them that and you will surely get your $ back

 

It's illegal to sell Retrofit HID kits now.

Yeah, it's probably illegal to buy them too. BTW, this is probably why they don't carry it any more....

 

2 months ago is february. the ban was in effect in fall 2003. you decide and get your money back.


btw 8500k is damn blue. be happy it burned (sorry )

 

8500k is pretty bright. You should be happy they burned out. You may have spent a jack load on tickets from the cops.

 

In New York its considered an equiptment violation. I have 24 hours to fix it and the ticket gets dismissed. Plus all the cops know me cause I have lived in this town all my life. In other towns thats a different story. They are really blue but I bought them not thinking about that. But for 400$ I still would use them even if I do get pulled over!

 

Hahaha, it feels good to have connections with the police, right? Admit it. I sure as hell will attest that I love the feeling.
