I 'm buying the HID's from an Org member, Does anyone has the instruction on HOW TO wire them....... please no flame I will scan the receipt when I get them...

Thanks

 

Anyone??????

 

Man you should contact Irishj44!!!!

he will help you out....

 

sorry, not this time.....I don't have a how-to or wiring pics and don't plan on posting any (for the obvious reasons)....it's pretty easy...just get a local maxima org'er with some electrical knowledge to help you out...

 

I know you guys are touchy on this subject, but i wanted to ask a question. Did anyone on here install an hid kit in the 00-01 head lamps. If so can you put some pics on here. And can 02-03 lamps go on my '00?

 

yes - it can be done

and

yes - I have done it.

 

Upsss

I gotta ya Josh.... You're right!!!!

 

Come on Irish I'm getting the HID from Triple the same guy you got yours.......

 

anyone here in Florida knows how to do it.. or has the How To ....???/

 

come on what?....I don't have "specs" or a "how-to".....I used the Nissan wiring diagram (with help from another local org'er) and determined how to splice the OEM harness into the new HID harness.

What you will need:
- 2k2-3 wiring harness from Nissan (call DAVE B)
- lower light clips (call DAVE B)
- butt connectors
-electrical tape
- splicing tool

then just do some matching up of wires.

Seriously, I don't remember which wires went to which (they are ALL plain yellow now, so I can't tell by looking)....there's got to be someone in your area who knows how to do this or has some wiring knowledge and can EASILY figure it out....

Nothing against you or anyone else, I simply do not (and will not) have a writeup for this...it's too common sense. You guys know I put write-ups to alot of things on here for others to use...but this is not one of those things ....sorry!

 

Cool not a problem.. thanks man...

 

Anyone???????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????

 

If you can wait a while Lontar, I'm considering getting them, and I've got a buddy that knows electronics could probably figure it out. Gotta see how big my next two paychecks are before I drop $600 though.

 

What kind of kit is it? Is it a plug an play or OEM equipment?

 

what the hell is a butt connector?

 

I'll wait no problem........

 

Cool, the guy I know actually goes to UCF, but I'd like to drive over and get them both done at once if he can help us. Like I said, let me see how much $$$ I got coming in and I'm seriously considering buying the d#@* HID's (lucky S.O.B. 5.5'ers). If I don't PM you in the next 3 weeks, PM me about it.

 

it's OEM......comes IN the Nissan box.....not plug and play, you have to do some wiring, but pretty basic.

 

im comfused. why is this a touchy subject?

 

if u are being serious about it...its because 5.5gens are getting there HID's stolen and sold on ebay and no other .orger wants to help out another person to install them on there Max if it got stolen off another guy's Max.

 

Just for the record....though....Lontar got his HIDs from the same place I did...Triple8Sol, who is a reputable dealer. So if one of you locals wants to help him out, go for it I simply don't have a write-up so can't help much.....

 

I'll PM you... So I can drive to Tampa or meet half way... either way is fine with me.........

 

i didnt know that. is it really easy for them to be stolen? i wouldnt want to buy a set if they could just be swiped from my car instead. i want to get hid for my i30. any suggestions?

 

lontar1 check your hidplanet post, PM if you need more info than that

 

let's not take the conversation down this road.......

the maxima HIDs will not fit your I30 anyhow. Suggest you look into aftermarket HID kits, there are several. contact umnitza

 

I PM you.. thanks

 

what's your e-mail address? I'll send you the write-up.

 

lcruz3000@yahoo.com

Thanks

 

didnt mean to get you all flapped up there. i dont know much about conversion kits. i was thinking about a set from an i30 that already has hid's. that way i could just take mine out and put the new ones in there. do you see any problem with that?

 

the OEM HIDs for $600? How can i get them?

 

pm triple8sol soon he has like two more pairs for sale

http://forums.maxima.org/private.php...m&userid=12524

 

i dont even think they r easy to be stolen , i tried to take mine out, to clear out the blinker and i couldnt, NO ONE wants to give up a write up

 

i dont see why not. a write up would help people like me who want to replace our headlights with hid's. if one were to think about it, a write up of anything could be misused by the wrong person.

 

I was reading some file on HID Forums and it takes only 5 minutes to take those babies out. There are so many complaints about HID thefts that I understand why? Remember the thief wants the ballast not the housing... and he will pulled them out w/o caring about the housing..... so be aware that it is happening and will continue, just be careful where you park your car....... I will as soon as I add the ones I bought to my car.......

 

Good Luck...I bet it will look good especially cleared out

But no one takes care while stealing the HIDs so a wiring diagram would be no use to them. That's just my 2¢.

 

i guess i really dont know much about hid's at all. i just wanted to get a set of hid's from an i30t, and replace them with the stock ones i already have. when i had my millenia, it took me quite some time to remove the headlights, and i dont see how a theif could do it quickly. are the theives just breaking open the head light assembly and taking out the bulbs?

 

PM sent...let's stop this line of discussion about theivery now....before the thread gets locked.

 

i got a pair of AE headlights with aftermarket HIDs... can i get the 5.5 gen headlights and still use my aftermarket ballast and bulbs??? i really just want the headlight housing itself.... i dont need the OEM xenons...

 

thanks for the PM irish. please let the record state that nowhere in any of my posts did i say i was going to steal anything. i just want to upgrade my lights and dont really know much about how to do it, or what needs to be changed, etc.

 

I have just bought a pair of OEM lights from a 2003 from another ORGer, Ninetein, although the sale wasn't on this forum.
I installed them last week, and everything is good except the DTRLs. One HID lights up and other one doesn't, this is because the high beams on a 2001 are wired in series so that the high beam runs at half voltage during the day (won't go into too much detail here), everything else is ok both HIDs work ok, both high beams are ok, it's just this Daytime stuff that's giving me a headache.
Any ideas? I would prefer not to disable the DTRL.
