it depends

what model maxima are we talkin about here? 00,01,02,03? I got my HID OEM lights from ebay for $600 shipped. They come with a different ballast but nonetheless they are way cheaper... Great quality. He was an authorized dealer in Florida with a 99.9% +feedback and there were about 4,000 feedacks. So the $900 or anywhere near that for the 02-03 HIDs DONT BUY IT, literally!!

I just want the housing of the HIDS, or plain '00. Mine are nasty looking. I am looking at buying one of those HELIOS kits in the GD section.

Sixone...have you tried to recondition them? I know there was a thread a while ago where a few orgers have reconditioned their headlights...as far as the cloudiness/small dings that develop over time. I need to do this as well. I'll be daammmedd if I go out and pay a minimum of 600 bucks...just cuz the outer front exposed plastic is looking bad.

I think for less than 75 bucks worth of rubbing compound, some very very fine sandpaper, and a polishing wheel...plus about 5 hrs of work, you might be able to bring the lights back to excellent shape.

This is what I will be doing ONCE IT STOPS SNOWING UP HERE

....

I rub them with cleaning compound, but it is not what I'm looking for. They are foggy and full of chips. I am going to try something this weekend (if it doesn't rain). The 128K miles doesn't help that much. Thanks for the help.
