Angel Eyes?

Where can I get those angel eyes for a 2k max se?
Not the projector ones, it looks like the 2002-2003 model headlights but with the halo ring around them for angel eyes.

Where do i get that from?

if you have a 2K, your only options for angel eyes are the ebay projectors, or to swap your headlights for the 5.5 ones and then get the Umnitza DDE kit.

i guess technically, you could do custom angel eyes in your 2K housings, i did that in my 98 accord for a while, but it doesnt totally look right, since there are no round portion of those headlights, and it kinda looks funny.

Hey, you can get it at: www.umnitza.com but the Angel eyes will only fit in 2k2 -2k3 HID housing, this is not that complicate to install but you need to open the headlight in order for the DDE to goes in.

Cheers

I am not sure which one you would need to purchase, if you were looking for the angel eyes for my max (03) how much do they cost? Could a novice install this?

If you want the best looks just get the ebay projectors and get a plug and play hid kit that runs for about $300 plus $200 for the projectors.
www.superhids.com
With this you'll get the cool projector look (better than 02-03 oem look), with the real output of HID, which is the complain of everyone with the ebay projectors (poor light output), Plus you'll get the Angel eyes look. i got angel eyes and even if they look dim they look cool and everyone loves them. If you wanna make them brighter you can open them and change the LED like what i'm gonna do. Or put some reflective tape behind them.

http://www.geocities.com/crx_auto/angel_eyes.htm Go here to check how to make you're own angel eyes, but what I really like to do is to make them brighter go here...

if you put an HID kit in those projectors, you would blind the **** out of oncoming traffic!

If you get the real oem 02-03 projectors (not really projectors) they're like $550 plus $199 for the umnitza dde's
02-03 oem with DDE's= aprox. $750
Ebay projectors with integrated Angel Eyes plus the H.I.D. kit=about $520, possibly $550

Exactly. Anyone do this yet? I'm willing to give it a shot if someone can give GOOD advice on how to get the wires from the inside of the housing to the back and still make a good, permanant seal. Looks like a good spring project for me.

U might be able to just drill a small hole thru where you cant see from outside and just put some silicone, Or just check the REAL DDE's installation instructions and check where they pass the wires and just copy that!! I mean, they have wires too and have to connect them somehow!

But the umnitzas are MUCH brighter and slimer looking, but thats why they are MUCH more expensive than the DIY Angel eyes.

The Umnitza DDE's are well worth the money. You will not be disappointed if you get them. I've had mine for about a year and they still put a smile on my face everytime i fire them up.

I done this long time ago,before i got my HID's .TO tell you the true its not worth it ,all the time i spent on making them ,and you have to be perfect and still they are not that bright .So i'd rather pay 200 for them .

My freind got BMW M3 they got those angel eyes(Its not a cheap one its neon one) for $79 shipped through GD on there former.I was thinking of getting them but i was not sure about fitment on our housing .So if some one can give me the diameter for untimze DDE's ,i can see if he could help us of getting GD through there former.

i bought the maxima on feb 2003 also, and i got the data dots....
did nissan every send you a letter telling you to come in for data dots? I know lots of people have, but i didnt. I still went to the dealer and he did it for me at no charge.

Call up your dealer.
