I'd stay away from any product that does not provide detail descriptions and multiple product shots. It's alway the same questions everyone has.
What kind a of HID bulbs does it use?
What's the kelvin rating of the bulbs?
What does the beam pattern and cutoff look like?
Is it plug and play (H4 connection) or is re-wiring involved?
Was the projector retrofitted with a better one?
What kind of ballasts does it use?
At least they say it's for a 00-01 Maxima and not a 02-03, but get the product shot right. If they're gonna sell black, show black and not chrome!

bigtony,
First of all., LOVE the bouncing boobies... Thanks
Second, WAY too much. I just got OEM, BRAND NEW HID's a few months back for 575 shipped and I am sure their are better deals out there. There are also a dozen or so custom places that will custom make the HID's for you with quality material. You can get some CHEAP ebay projectors and retro them for about half that price.

^ True, but reflector-based HIDs will never have the nice, sharp cutoff of projector HIDs. However, their web site tells you NOTHING about these lights. I know of another company (can't remember the name) that has the "same" picture, but in the description they tell you they've retrofitted specific projectors into them and include the bulbs and ballasts.

I do retro's for a hid company (no advertising) here in CT. I have done a few maximas. I am a member of hidplanet and have plenty of posts. PM if you are serious about it, or just have questions. for 500$ you can have amazing output better than the HID reflector set up stock on some of our cars.

My first car I stacked up on performance parts and someone hit me, they totaled it. so I found that putting money into more general things like lighting, stereo. with some in performance it is easier transferable. If you want to keep the projectors for a new car retro they u place stockies back in there and vwa lah. I tell my friend that does all performance to his volvo. that "you cant drive fast at night if you cant see". Then again in CT we have some pitch black windy dark roads so lights are more necessary here. 500$ lights or a 500$ exhaust system. or 500$ tires. or 500$ subs. it all is preference:-p
