Yeah... Getting ebay projectors and retofitting in real projectors.

 

I'd rather use the money from the cost of getting 02/03 headlamps and retrofit my 00/01's which are already black housed.

I can't blame sooner for bashing this guy by any means! He want suggestion so sooner and other's suggested they suck and do not use them. These light suck and if you have an 02/03 expect a nice gap around the lights also.

 

AE mod plus sylvania silverstar bulbs

 

upstate...do u have HID in your headlights, or just the AE mod....because they look pretty nice...kinda the look i was goin for....and i dont actually want to sped over $500 in getting ebay projectors, retrofitting with TSX projectors and then getting HIDs

 

Ha, thats what i have in my car.. execpt mine is an AE..


EDIT: Sorry about the quality i took it with my camera phone.. and yes, i know i need to clear the headlights :P

 

Just the AE mod, I am still debating getting a Bi-Xenon HID kit for my car... Helios HID's come with a glare shield that almost elimintes glare I guess so... I am debating my options.

BTW, the Bi-Xenons are the low and high beam HID setup... It moves the bulb in the housing to give both. Standard HID swaps are just low beams.

 

Congratulations. You just proved to me and everyone in here that you don't even wish to take the advice given. So what is your reasoning behind becoming a member, again?

Those lights are cheap. They look cheaper than the OEM housing, and have MUCH worse light quality. Yet again, if you would have researched, you would have found that you are capable of installing REAL CCFL angel eyes (instead of those POS dimly lit ones in those ebay projectors) and painted the inside of your stock headlight housings black to create a much more sophisticated and functional look for less $ than you paid for those POSs. Go you.

And although you may not be worried about your pathetic life, it's also jeopardizing the other innocent lives of people driving toward you at night. I'll say it again: go you.

 

just to clarify some things...sooner said that there will be a lot of glare from my stock headlights....but i am gonna get helios HIDs, which like upstate said do have somewhat of a glare shield...so they would be ok right ? ....... i dont mean to bug u guys but i do want ur advice before i make bad mistakes like some people above

 

Exacly, Nice Teufelhunden

 

After reading this thread sooner i couldnt help but think you should change your user title back to "tells it like it is."

 

Anything NOT OEM = bad fitment. I bought some DEPO AE headlights, too lazy to do it myself to the originals. While it looks great from a far, when you get close, the fitment issues are NOTICEable on the Driver side.

Looking for 02-03 HID's now., or possibly will just black out the OEM 01's I have and keep those.

If you actually got those ebay projectors., sell me your 03 HID's...

 

who in their right mind chooses ebay projectors over oem 02 HID's???
this thread is done, i think the guy just ran off. probably crying right now.

 

 

Before I even took the old headlights out I noticed a huge gap anyways. Hence the headlight theft problem with our cars. This is NOT at all any different of "gap." I have them "installed" on my car.You guys may have bought older projector models off ebay but these turned out rather nice.

When did you guys buy them?

I would just like to say these are a great purchase besides the actual output of the light. The bulbs from autolumination look fine for now as well. I dont kno what all the fuss is about maybe couple months down the line I will see who knows. For now they look great.

Cheers

 

Please post a picture of the front of your car. I don't believe you for 1 sec that the gap is no bigger then the stock lights. Prove what you're claiming. Otherwise I call

 

Why dont you drive down to florida so we dont have any "picture" disputes pal. Call it what you want but they look the same. Sorry that the ones you baught in 2005 werent identical.

Cheers

 

whats the point of headlights again?

quick search -

A headlight is a lamp,usually attached to the front of a vehicle such as a car, with the purpose of illuminating the road ahead during periods of low visibility, such as night or precipitation.

 

and you still don't seem to understand.


BAUGHT != BOUGHT


that is all.

 

.......

 

Might as well add in the other failed attempt....

 

my tires were a good purchase besides the fact that they dont hold air...they sure do look nice though

 

this whole thread is attempts to get a point across to this guy.
its like talking to a rock

 

Wait do you want me to drive down there so you can take advantage of me? I really don't understand what you're saying.

 

i think it was a threat
"why dont you drive down to florida..."

 

heh!

soo glad im north of this idiot and dont have to share the same roads he uses

 

those lights not retro'd are

(it's bought by the way..)


and to the OP those lights suck,.. everyone is just trying to help you out


also this thread is

 

Just like to thank everyone for their help on my original issue. You ALL helped out alot. Thank god I had you guys for help with the install. Not one person replied to the original post with any professional assistance. Thank you all for your opinions which were read in other searches. Maybe you will see them one day and just stfu about how ricey they look because they dont look one bit ricey or have huge gaps.

But thank you all once again

Cheers

 

one question:

were your hids stolen? why are you changing them again? just for looks i assume...

i was just wondering...

 

 

So let me get this strait..........................this guy has a 02-03 maxima with STOCK/OEM HIDS but this dude opted to put in cheap/ricer/pos lookeing ebay projectors in??????ughmm yeah.......Is that it?

 

we really dont understand whats going on.
he isnt giving any information...he is just throwing a fit.

 

lol how old is this guy???????

 

I think I'm gonna buy a 4 banger Sentra motor and swap it into my car. I don't need a quality powered motor. But it will look mad sick yo!!

 

Physically or mentally?

Physically I'd say 30, mentally I say 12

 

nobody knows...he didnt fill out any of his profile info. we also dont know what year his car is

 

SR20DET swap FTW


sorry, had to drop some nissan knowledge

 

i dont believe anyone on this forum has a problem providing help to those in need. that is one of the reasons why we're here. now, to provide instruction on how to perform a not only illegal, but very dangerous modification to your car is not information many are willing to help with. they all simply stated that your setup is very dangerous and poses a threat to yourself and others on the road. others gave their opinions, which is to be expected. once again this is a forum. honestly, what did you expect for ebay jap mass produced headlights? how does that saying go? "you get what you pay for". if i were you, i would take the advice that you have received and do everyone a favor and do it the right way. it may cost a little more and take some more effort, but the end result will be much better. not to mention safer.

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
he probalby got the JDM keyboard, its missing the o button but it looks mad tight son!!!

 

Cry me a river.

I thought you said you got these installed? Now you're just confusing everyone in here. And yes, we have given you plenty advice. Let me lay out your options:

1.) Soak up the loss and have some REAL projectors installed (such as E46 or TL projectors) and get HIDs. They will look a hell of a lot better, perform a hell of a lot better, and be a hell of a lot safer.

2.) Burn those pieces of crap and go back to your stock HIDs.

Go to www.hidplanet.com to look at prices/how-to's to see what's involved in the projector swap and find someone to do it for you.

It's you that doesn't seem to want to accept anyone's instruction/opinion in the first place. You said you got the lights installed and that they were plug and play. What's the point of this thread then?

 

seriously dude, if you cant take our advice, then go somewhere else and ask for professional help, what do we know about maximas? right? since you know so much about maximas, why do you come here and ask? and then get pissed when we do answer your questions? are you even old enough to drive??
