Can some of you post pics of your 2002 or 2003 HID beam patten.
Thnx!

 

 

6000K headlights and foglights

 

hey ammi, do you have factory nissan hid lights and matching fog bulbs? I have factory hid nissan lights and bought some PIAA super plasmas gtx and they look pink compared to the headlights..looks really stupid..anyone else know of bulbs that match the hid better?

 

factory is 4.3k he has 6k

 

6K better than 4.3K i know its supposed to be brighter or something. Also if i do decide to go 6K, can I just swap the bulbs into my existing nissan hid setup? and I really want the fogs to match.

 

here's a couple pics i took a while back

 

yea i've wondered that myself, if you decide to go from stock (4.3K) to 6K can you just switch out the bulbs?, can the stock nissan HID system handle that increase in Kelvin?

 

the bulb itself is still the same 35W the higher kelvin just means the change in color not the temperature i mean like it doesn't get hotter or anything. stock harness will handle it.

 

hey lowincash, what kinda setup you got, you got 6K or 4.3K, i dont think u got 4.3 but maybe...im thinkin 6k hid and 6k fogs. I hate the super plasma pink lookin foglights with the 4.3k factory hids. any advise on the best setup to go with...white fogs and matching white hids lowbeam?

 

i'm using stock 4300k right now i'm thinking since it's about few years old the bulb is at around 4800-5000k and my fog lights are stock i just tinted it yellow since the lense was cracked =/

 

What do you mean better? 6000K is more colorful but dimmer.

 

I have 6000K factory hid lights and matching 6000K foglights.

 

OK - this is a totally stupid question and I apologize, but can I get headlights like that on my 2000 Maxima? I have the stock headlights now which I believe are plain old halogen and are not nearly as bright.

I'm not looking for anything blueish or purpleish or anything... just white that will make as much of the road as bright as possible without being bad for other drivers and getting me a ticket.

My stock headlights have been stolen before, and it looks like they are only secured by two screws attached to two easily breakable plastic holders. Is there a more secure anti-theft kit that I can purchase and self-install?

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Yes I did check the stickies, but all I saw was stuff for 2002-2003 HIDs.

 

It's probably too late now since you already spent the money on the GTX bulbs, but the regular Super Plasmas do match the stock HID color pretty closely. I remember reading once before that the Super Plasma GTX bulbs aren't as close of a match.

Here is a daytime (sorry I couldn't find night) shot of the stock HIDs and PIAA Super Plasma (NOT GTX) bulbs in the fogs:

 

Hey ammi. What brand of 6000k hids did u get? also which hids for the fogs did u get?

 

I got McCulloh for both headlights and foglights. Another shot.

 

OEM 4300K HIDs:

 

can the McCulloh 6000k bulbs just be swapped with the oem 4300k. i have the oem ballasts. the machusisats whatever

 

ditto dukee, I have the same question, can I just buy new McWhatever 6000K bulbs and pop em in to the nissan OEM ballasts?

 

Yes just buy 6000k D2R bulbs
