Im really looking to doing an HID plug-n-play kit conversion for my 5th gen
(2001). I was looking on ebay at kits available and the price ranges were pretty broad. Obviously u get what u pay for but what should be a reasonable price for a reliable HID kit (wont burn out, cause electrical problems, etc.)? Any brand in particular?

 

This is where you wanna go
Maximabest kits are very reliable...Made by Helios

u need the H4 Bi-Xenon Kit since you have the 2k-2k1 maxima

just buy from him, seems like a very good seller. and you cant beat the price/warranty. Also i would consider the AE mod on your headlights, its free and looks amazing on any color max. enjoy!

 

his kits maybe reliable, but dang he has a few problems with customer service i believe, not to bad mouth but i've seen the threads and they speak for themselves. but buy from whoever you want.

 

haha have to agree with you on that one...Ive just ordered a H3 kit from Opteric myself for my fogs...i HAD A SLIGHT issue with the fogs cutting on by themselves but it was a relay problem that i fixed..But Opteric is pretty good as well

 

Thanks for the quick replies... question tho: the bi-xenon kit is for the high-low beam correct? About the headlights, I have the 20th AE so my lights are already blackhoused, lol.

 

BTW, I found a kit on ebay for 160 shipped. Is that too cheap? It has a 1 yr. no hassle warranty and the whole water-proof, vibration resistancy. Anything I should look out for?

 

your welcome bro, the bi-xenon kit are indeed for the high-low beam....even though you have the AE version they still use the Dual filament H4 bulb which is HI-LO BEAM in one bulb

 

naw tahts not too cheap.....but the other guy OPTERIC which is the same guy that maxima112 posted a link to HE HAS HID KITS FOR 140 SHIPPED NEXT DAY air.......and believe me IT IS INDEED NEXT DAY AIR...... i ordered a kit from him on thursday afternoon, i received my kit on Friday late afternoon and installed the same day....

 

Can it be easy self-install or do I need to take it to a shop?

 

well that depends on your electrical and technical expertise, as well as your ability to follow directions.........i know most shops will charge u amy where from 50-100 bucks for the install...i know plenty of the .org members will tell you to install the lights your self

me personally I DONT think they are that hard at all, everything is pretty straight forward...and if you look around you'll find lots of write ups, and how-to's for the install

 

that is most likely single HID beam. Meaning..... HID lows and halogen high....these types of HIDs the GD has as well for a little more. And yes the GD does send next day, which is crazy fast. for the same warranty and what not, why not buy from someone on the org where there are many customers that you are around and can deal with? Ebay....is like last resort for me, unless it is a great deal... low 100's....but for the same price for even a little more i'd rather buy from the GD. As for the install fairly easy, the plugs only go in one way. mounting the ballast might be the hardest thing IMO.

To sum up: buy from the GD, and install yourself or have an org member do it for lunch and a beer or something.

 

i second operatic. i bought from him, real easy install..real cheap and next day shipping...how awesome. i recomend him highly. he communicates very well with his customers.

 

yea, easy install, operatic is a great seller, I had the chance to meet up with him locally, very friendly!
