man its hard to get good pix of the actual light on the street evem with the flash off but here is one. The light output is very good since they ARE hid's. The other pix explain themselves. There are tockicos and some ttien springs. Not much of a drop, but it's night

are they retro fitted?if not then the output should be poor, just because you put HID's on them, it still has the cheap lens on the projectors.

Yes they are retrofitted and the output is not poor. I think I am going to keep the sunroof deflector, but maybe take off the mudflaps. Thanks for all the compliments guys

Looks good! Gotta love the Sunlit Sands! Get rid of those projector's and upgrade to HID's. Does'nt matter if you have the brightest HID bulb retrofitted in there, the light output is still going to be terrible because of the lens in those headlights. Get rid of the sunroof deflector, paint the mudflaps, and upgrade to the 2k2-2k3 euro tails. This should get you started and then you can mod like crazy to your taste.

Nice man, congratulations!!! Keep the mud flaps and sunroof deflector; my only possible recommendation is a set of 02-03 Maxima taillamps. For some reason, the 00-01 SE taillamps do not look that good on lighter colored 5th gens.

Do the tires have stock outer diameter? Seriously, to me the wheels look gigantic.

Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you sleep for only 2 hours.
