I just got a set of HIDs for 2003 Maxima and have a question regarding the wiring. There is a sack of wires coming out of each ballast and 4 connectors. There is a small gray one running into a black box. Then from the box there is a harness going to the bulb. Then there are 2 gray connectors running from the ballasts and I have no clue what they are for. Do those hook up to the high beams and corner lights? If they are, could I just leave them disconnected and use my old wiring for those?

 

are they legal??? No one here is going to give you any advise on how to install them... You need a wiring harnes form www.courtesyparts.com or your local stealership. Good luck

 

Yes they are factory HIDs so they are legal.

 

give dave b a call for the harnesses.. if your looking for a wiring diagram your going to have to go through what everyone else did and show proof of purchase due to all the HID thefts for our gen max.

 

Proof of purchase? lol you want the Ebay link?

 

I didn't ask about if they are factory or not.. I just ask if they were legal..not stolen...... that's it........

 

Sounds kind of "fishy" to me. Anybody familar with HID's in our Max's know exactly what those wires are that you're talking about. Like someone said, show proof of purchase and ownership, and you'll get the information you need. Good luck!

 

i have an 02 maxima and wanted to change the bulb out to a 8000k bulb do i have to buy the whole kit or can i just buy the bulb? and what size bulb is the low beam is it h4 or d2R? i have no clue can sumone help me plz

 

show me the proof and i'll send u the instructions...
i Had to go through the same thing like 2 wks ago lol, i know how it feels...but it pays off at the end...I love my HIDs, i cant get enough of them, love driving at night...soon i'll be upgrading to 6000k or 7000k bulbs

 

Just buy D2R bulbs

 

I drive to Toronto often. I don't know how far you live from Toronto but once you get those harness, I'll help you install them.

 

There is nothing fishy about this. I don't even own a Maxima. I got a set of HID ballasts off 2003 Maxima on Ebay that I want to install in my Grand Marquis. To do so I need to know what the wires are for. Sure, I will show you proof of purchase, what do you want, Ebay link, paypal receipt What?

Here is the Ebay link.

I spent 2 hours in a junk yard yesterday looking for Maximas just to see where the wires go but didn't find squat.

 

Don’t tell this guy anything, he says he got them from eBay then they are definitely stolen. My lights were stolen 2days ago. Ask yourself this question blue merks why the hell would some one be selling there lights anyway? Don’t they need them for there own car? And don’t give me that story about selling parts off of their car for money of some other stupid excuse. Our cars (5.5 gen) are still new no one is just selling parts of there own car.

 

Gee, thanks for the help, I will be sure never to buy a Maxima or to come here again.

And to answer your question, the lights could have been off a junkyard car. What you are saying is that every single car part that is on Ebay is stolen?

I don't really care if you or anyone here helps me. I am being treated like I stole someone's car and ripped the lights out of it. If that's the way you want to be, it is fine with me. I am sure I wil find help elsewhere.

And for the record, I am a police officer so before you go pointing fingers at people, get to know all the facts.

Have a nice day.

 

3 blue just try to understand where we are coming from. The headlights from the 02/03 Max's have a very high theft rate (especially in the NorthEast) so much in fact that Nissan issued a fix to make them hard to steal. People get their lights stolen and so those on this board don't want to help out the people stealing lights (but if you bought non stolen headlights they will help). As a cop, I'm sure you can understand where we are coming from-nobody likes getting their stuff stolen.

 

And on a side note these lights are $1,400 no b.s. HID theft has become a huge problem for us 02-03 owners, most theives hack the front up end bending all kinds of body panels to rip these gold mines off our cars and we can't do a whole lot to prevent them. We don't mean to scare you off this is just a sore subject for us. Imagine getting your $1,400 headlights stolen and having your front end ruined at the same time just because some a$$hole wanted to make some money. This happens to someone everyday on here and I hope it's never me.

 

jokerk01 needs to chill out. There are not stolen HIDs on E bay and what is this "why the hell would some one be selling there lights anyway? Don’t they need them for there own car" there are a lot of extra headlights out there. I am sorry for your loss but dont take it out on someone here. When I step up to HIDs I am planning to get the replica OEM ones on E bay so I would hope someone would help me install them. Thats why I am here to get help and talk about my max.

 

How the hell do you know? Lay off, there is no need to be a **** about this. He simply wants some help.

 

Shut up. I used to go around local junkyard and buy many sets of Maxima HID headlights and sold them on ebay. I'm sure others have done the same. Just because you buy headlights on ebay don't mean they were stolen. Some might have been but not ALL.

 

soo... on to another topic... the headlight bulb for the 02 max is size D2R and not h4 bulbs? do you recommend anysite i can buy it from?

 

It's D2R. Check GD section.

 

These suckas are so fast. I have pics to show you guys. Me and my boys went out to eat and I was taking pics and voila this happened. It was like a nightmare cos I was just telling him to go get some DataDots installed at the nissan dealership for me. But I guess its too late.

Pic that i took before we went inside to eat

Pic after we came back outside to find out my boy's headlights were gone


You know I wish we had come out earlier maybe we could have made a scape goat out of headlight ripper

 

That friggin sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope insurance stepped up and took care of that!

 

how long were you guys inside for?? and it doesnt look like any damage was done to his car...was there??

 

HOly crap..........



BTW if add data dots you only get more damage to your car. If they want your headlights they get it in one way or another...

 

I'm glad to see this site isn't so happy to help out potential shady folks...some sites dont seem to care, but man its annoying...and with the known theft issues of the Max's headlights its good to see the message board folks looking out for people

 

Look I know I came of a little like an A$$ but until you come out of work and find that your fender, hood and horn are all messed up please don’t tell me to shut up. When I wrote that, the experience was fresh in my mind so you must understand where I am coming from- no headlights at 6:30 pm and trying to make it home with the factory fogs only so as you might imagine I was pissed to say the least. So blue merks my bad

 

Not only were they fast stealing the headlights, they managed to install clear side markers while they were at it.

 

- interesting

 

they also managed to pop the hood open with no damage to the car??? And how come the rear view side mirrors are folded in on the second pic?? a courtesy service??
(don't mean to make light of anyone having their lights ACTUALLY stolen, but this reeks of purposeful deception)

 

Very interesing

 

I'm going to take a shot in the dark on this one and say you gays took the lights in the house to clear them out.

 

Hey guys im not sure if anyone can help me here. I have an 03 maxima that was hit in the front end. Long story short didnt have full coverage so I bought projectors off ebay they said i could wire them without hid and would work. However, this is not as easy as they said it woudl be and provied no instruction.. Anyone have any info that would help me out.. Now realize i shoudl have just gone all out and bought the oem but i have these projectors in and need to get them wired.. any help would be appreciated thanks

 

to correct you guys not gays. And you guessed right lol

You need to look closer

Damn You got it. Im glad someone studied the picture closely lol

This is to tell me that some people are on the Org just reading through threads like I always do lol

As for everybody that cared, Thanks a lot. My lights were actually stolen two weeks ago. No joke but I never got a chance to take the pics. Just wanted to see what the reactions would be like. And plus try to make this thread a little fun.

 

I can help you but I will need to check for the list of things you will need to install them. But before I jump the gun, Why not sell those projector headlights and buy the regular 02 / 03 headlights? Theyre cheap if you get them from another Org member. Just check the parts for sale forums

But if you insist on installing the projectors pm me and I'll try my best to help you.

 

If you want D2R replacement bulbs check here.

I bought my 8000K HID bulbs from him. The shipping is a little slow though but you sure will get the right color temp bulb you seek.
hope this helps you

 

You know something I just don't understand about the before and after pictures. In the second photo the headlights are gone or stolen, but then the thing that puzzles me is that the mirrors are folded hmmm and and the side markers are clear. Did they thieves swap their clear ones for factory amber and red ones? Usually it's other way around and even if they wanted factory markers why would they bother to replace them in such a situation where time if of the essence and every second counts.

 

Read the post above yours. Ope was screwing with us for whatever reason.

 

Sorry I was typing with my OT hands.

 

Hey guys,

I may be buying an 02-03 6speed in the future. This HID theft concerns me as I have seen reports stating the HID theft as the big reason for high insurance rates. Have any of you tried using a hood lock? And what are datadots? Thanks.
