I copied this off of my cardomain site cuz I didn't want to rewrite the whole thing. I may be missing some details but this is what I would do if i had a 02/03 Maxima.

2002-2003 RETROFIT ADVANTAGE - The one ebay projector retrofit advantage that the 2002/2003 Maximas have over the 2000/2001 is the electrical setup. The 02/03 OEM headlights utilize a HID low beam and a 9006 high beam, powered by via the ballasts and ignitors. Since the 2000/2001 uses a H4, dual filament bulb which produces a low and high beam, a custom wiring harness would need to be made to power the bulbs in the retrofitted ebay projectors.

So if I had a 02/03 Maxima and wanted to power the retrofitted ebay projectors, all I would have to do is replace the D2R bulbs with a D2S* bulbs. I would also have to replace the 9006 bulb with a H1. Because the H1 bulb is a single lead, I would have to modify it in such a way to power the 9006 bulb. Instead of rewiring from a 9006 to an H1, another option would be to bore out the hi-light reflector bowl and creating a bulb holder for the 9006 bulb.

You might be better getting it off of ebay. If you do get it from this seller. Symmic makes these headlights.

Also, as for your angel eyes, you can either do the LED swap per Dr. Roy's write up or consider getting CCFLs.

Not sure if I'm going to get these but this set is the cheapest I've seen.
