Im aware they will "work" but the wiring is slightly different and Ive seen several cars come in with ones stolen from 02's and such- these were installed poorly and ended up with melted harnesses. I can make airplane landing lights illuminate also but I was merely searching for the proper way to do- thanks for being so candid

Don't take it personal but tin here they hate to talk about US "00-01 guys" having the 02-03 HID's, too easy to steal so I understand the frustration of people paying for them legally and people stealing them.......
Can you hook me up with tehm.. I want to have them but to expensive....... PM me if you can hook me up...thanks

FYI...there is a group deal going on with plug and play HID's. One set for $275 shipped. To get the bi-xenon so you can keep you hi-beams its $375 shipped.

Jeff I'm in the same shoes as you are and I think it's ridiculous. There are so many people here in the forums that are versed in how to perform the H.I.D. conversion but won't lift a finger to help because they think their aid to one person will result in a world wide theft of their precious H.I.D.'s.

I work in a Honda motorcycle dealership that's in an autogroup and in that autogroup I can get discounts on Ford, GM, Mazda, Honda, and Nissan auto parts. Each H.I.D. assembly at the Nissan dealership retails at $770 roughly, with my discount which isn't true cost, it was $550 roughly.

I used to work for an autogroup like that and our employee price was about the same.

I'm getting kind of antsy about the installation of the H.I.D.'s, I would appreciate it immensely if someone could help me out with one of the tutorials on the H.I.D. install.
