anyone ever buy these ones from this guy on ebay???

another one bites the dust......

 

let me know if you want me to clear them for you Starinskiy@yahoo.com

 

I bought my 02/03 HIDS from Performance_Depot on eBay. Excellent seller and excellent lights. PM me for further info on what you need.

 

Is there anyone in the NJ area who can clear my headlights out for me?

 

whats that mean?

 

are you talking about the turn signal part?

damn, i feel like a maxima noob

 

any write-ups???

 

lontar how did ur install go???
can u send me a write-up??

I just got my lights from them about two days ago and I love them well made, well packaged, and fast shipping (got them next day).

 

just so you guys know, those are NOT OEM maxima hids, they are very high quality AM

anyway, u need a wiring harness from a nissan dealership (or go to www.courtesyparts.com ) and u also need the headlight clips, u can get those at a nissan dealership, they dont cost much...

 

Clips are not required, I removed mine completly and headlights are stable.

 

Lontar1, didn't I send you a write up before?

 

Not if you had factory HIDs

 

obviously he didn't have factory HIDs

 

can u send me a write up???

In terms of performance and longelivity, would these be any different than oem? I have been strongly considering picking up a set from performance depot once I graduate college and start my new job.

 

i will post mini-review on these headlamps as soon as i receive them & install them

 

i wonder how that place comes by so many brand new oem nissan headlights

 

Not that great. I have asked several guys to send me some pics of how their OEM lights look at night and then ones I have don't seem to be near as bright as the OEM. For $600 I would have expected to "see everything" at night as I was told... Also, The clips are not necessary. I didn't need them. But I don't recommend them. They come with a PHIILIPS ballast which is not the same brand Nissan used as you can tell on the other threads. If you have better results than I have let me know so I can bring mine back to the installer and tell him to change something!

 

Good question but they do have several makes available so maybe they are not theifs.. All of their feedback is like 99%

 

I got mine in, the pass side is resting on the old clip and the driver side doesn't even have one anymore...but i did order the clip from a max with the factory hid's

 

Those are not OEM, but aftermarket replicas.

 

I KNOW, they have PHILLIPS ballasts not the funky name that nissan uses and they dont work as good either

 

Either way, OEM or replicas, I think they are the worst reflector based HID's out there. Maybe it's just me, but the Acura TL's (before 2004 model) are much brighter than ours, the Infiniti G35 lights are prettier, etc etc etc.

 

well i can give u my review on them because a friend of mine got them

the beam pattern with the OEM beam pattern does not look as good, its not as bright at all

for those without clips, i recommend at least getting them soon.. it will hold the headlight in there more secure, besides, they dont cost very much...

but yeah, for those that got these headlights from performance depot, u can just buy 2 ballasts from a set of OEM headlights and get some better bulbs (i have 6000k from umnitza in my OEM headlights) and you should be set...

 

Rather than going through all that hassle, why not just buy a set of OEM lights for a little more money? And where can you get just the ballasts from OEM lights that aren't stolen? Just curious.

 

that sucks
i was almost going to get these,decided to go retro instead.
maybe you could buy another set of ballasts and sell these...

 

well he already bought the headlights, so he is kind of stuck with them

i have one ballast from my old headlights that i had when i got in a wreck

just keep checking the for sale section...

i have sold numerous headlight parts at diffrent times
