2000 Maxima GXe headlights are showing wear....Need help with new headlights
My 2000 Maxima GXE's Headlights are showing signs of wear and turning yellow instead of clear. I would like to buy the oem headlights found an a 2k2 or 2k3 maxima also seen here:

Are these headlights the same size as the 2000 gxe's and fit right in? What all do I need to buy and where would be the cheapest place?

Are these good quality and easy to install? What else would I need to buy?

.....unless, you're willing to put the time and money to modify this into an HID projector headlight, now that's something else.

Where can I find the headlights in the picture above? Are those just for
2k2/2k3 maximas? I found them on customenterprises.com, but will they fit flush on my 2000 gxe and what all do I need to buy? Bulbs, connectors, kit, mounting hardware, etc.

Where are you in Albany? I did mine and they look great, if you are still seeing scratches, wet sand more with the 2000-2500 grit and buff with PlastX. Chances are you sanded to hard with the lower grit paper and left deep scratches. When you do it, you have to sand with little pressure or you will end up with deep cuts that will show up in the final product.
