My 03 HIDs have only vertical adjustments on back of housing, horizontal direction is set by the mounting angle on the clips mounted on the radiator support and the top bolts, there are some play possible with the screw inside the fender but i don't it's meant for that.

Nissan made them standard on all 02-03 maximas so iam sure they didn't use the best HID kit avail. but they are a lot better than standard halogen headlights. The only problem with them is they are not projector type. And yes the hid in the acura cl sucked big time. Nissans are not that bad....

If you want them to fit perfectly YES you need to get the 02-03 clips... Otherwise they will aimed up higher or lower because they aren't properly secured!

My 03 HIDs suck!! I am saying that only because I don't want people to jack them. THe lights may not seem very bright in the city because of the ambient light. When you are on a dark country road at night, you'll really appreciate the difference.

I think the 5.5G Maxima HIDs are noticeably more effective than typical halogens. But, my Murano's bixenons put the Maxima's HIDs to shame; quite simply, if I hit the high beams in the Murano, night is effectively turned into daytime anywhere near my frontend.
