thanx

 

The "JDM" lights look like they would fit an 00-01. They can go into a 03, but would have a gap. The projector lights look like they would fit an 03 with no gap. Are you trying to replace your HID's with halogen or looking to put in the non-HID housing with an HID upgrade? Give us more info here please.

 

Your guess is as good as mine ...

Neither, but if I had to choose, I would go with option #2.

 

Instead of scrambling to get 15 posts to start this thread, you woulda been better served doing some reading and searching to get opinions on these headlights....

im 100% sure that the "jdm" will fit and 02-03 With and 1 inch gap between the bumper , now as for the projecector im not sure .

 

Those are not the projector headlights. They are the "JDM" 00-01 headlights.

 

1st link was to "JDM" 00-01 headlights and 2nd link was to eBay projectors.... and I thought I included a link to a previous thread on the 00-01 blacked out AE-style headlights, but I'm too lazy to go back and check.

 

how do I use teh search?

 

Going from HIDs to $150 "JDM" headlights...???

Puppet, your search doesn't work. You didn't find this thread from THIS week... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=headlight+JDM

 

click it

 

^^^^search feature disable for non-donating members...

 

True, but $20 gets that search feature working.

 

So are the Ebay projectors crap? I was considering getting some for my 01. I really just want to retro some Valeo Projectors into my sotck housing. I just dont have the time. Would you guys stay away from the ebay projectors? I have HID's on my car as well...

 

Yes, overall consensus is that they have crappy output unless you do a retrofit.

 

Very worth the $20... I basically used that $20 to buy a bunch of knowledge...

I heard the eBay projects have very poor lighting. They look and probably aren't "cheap" but the light output just sucks. I do like the "JDM" lights... these aren't really "JDM" though... it's basically a darker version of the AE lights... I was thinking bout swapping them with my AE lights but who knows... might not be worth it until I see them on the car!

 

See post #4.

 

Those are god awful

 

have you ever heard of a joke?

 

damn do these guys live in closets..HID's, projectors and bodykits along w/ the most infmaous "which intake" have become the most popular and avoidable posts...

 

He wants to change them from 2003 headlights to those because he doesn't like the orange reflector in the 2003 headlights.

 

is this a serious question? why in the hell would you want to change HIDs to some halogens? you would truly be flamed upon if you down graded from HIDs to halogens, or if you like me to put it in other terms....i want to trade my maxima in for a civic. not trying to talk crap about 2k-2k1 maximas but who would be stupid enough to want halogens if you have stock HIDs?

 

wow...another projector headlight thread

 

soonerfan...its not even about another projector headlight thread. its more about an idiot wanting to change HIDs to halogens

 

true...and why to people over-use the term "JDM"? thats a ricer term so people think its cool. and explain to me how you can have JDM headlights for a maxima...when our car doesnt exist in japan??

 

our car use to exist in japan back in the 1980s and they were rear wheel drive too from what ive heard. other than that i think they call them "JDM" probably because they are made in japan ?

 

Maximas existed in Asia, back then it was called a Datsun 810 I believe. When I lived in the Philippines there's a lot of those there. RHD/RWD..

 

Do not go from your HID's to these POS's. If you don't like the orange corner bulb, clear your headlights (FAQ's and How-To's).
