D2S has no cutoff so it will look as if it gives out more light, but it doesnt. It will just give more glare to oncomming drivers.

I just changed this post because I saw your edit...so basically...I just wanted to know if the glare would be bad enough to draw attention from cops. Thanks.

I have pics somewhere of my 2000 max...I just have to find it.
I found a pic of my HID fogs compared to stock...this might help

...Geese you're too fast for me...you already posted the pic before I could even add a new post...just the degree of the glare question remains...do you think the 6000k HID kit would produce enough glare to really draw attention from cops or **** off oncoming traffic if the headlights were aimed properly?

Same thing on the 00 01, just the turning **** is in a different spot. You can adjust it up and down, left and right.

I asked Umnitza about their HID kits for my 2000 Maxima...
same type of kit as Helios...6000k H4 Hi/Lo and Umnitzas is a little more pricey (~$50) and I asked about the color of the 6000k and the glare issue in stock 2000 headlights and they said the color is mostly white with a hint of blue (just like Helios said) and he said "There should be no glare." So I guess that eliminates my worries about glare (Umnitza and Helios HID kits for my car are pretty much the same and wouldn't differ in terms of glare I don't think) ..I just gotta aim them down a bit more so it won't be shining up too high

It is clear now... well Helios and Prolumen are the same thing just the name change but everything else is the same and yes once again if get the D2R 6000k you will get perfect color match ...

This is Umnitza's Xtec 6000K since they changed it from my color.

If I buy the 2k2-2k3 HIDs, are they pretty simple to install along with the wiring harness kit from Courtesyparts.com..? I know there are write ups out there, but due to high theft no one will post them. Does anyone have it that they could possibly e-mail it to me? Installing HIDs is the last mod I want to do to my car.

Prolumen Consistent color temp, exactly the way it should be.
Look for our link and description of the ProLumen product.
