Hey Guys- Just got my report back from Nissan, I will have the '02 tails in stock tomorrow! The official price is $104.56 a side. I'll mock them up & make sure the fit is ok, I can't imagine there will be any probs-

Regards, David Burnette, Town North Nissan

 

Thanks Dave! What is your # anyway?

 

104.56 a side? Does that mean....about $209 + tax and shipping for the pair?

Deac

 

Thanks David!

Very nice of you indeed!

Regards,
Wadester

 

let us know if the fit and harness fit

 

You're correct if your car has one left side and one right side.

 

[sly voice] I know someone I'll be calling tomorrow ... [/sly voice]

 

daveb, what kinda price would you gimme on a fstb?

 

I don't think Dave has those that I know of; I could be wrong, but I only know that Courtesy and Stillen sell them.

 

Dave what other parts are available for us from the 2002?

whats your new # there i never got it

is it possible for you to make a list of all the new 2002 stuff thats available... like im interested in the headlights with the xenons... and if the wiring is the same or if it will work and all that stuff... give us infooo thanks man

oops.. what does he have then? i hear people calling him for stuff all the time.. just oem stuff?

 

Will the steering wheel hub fit on my max? I want the hub w/ the chrome emblem also!

 

I like the chrome emblem too. If the hub fits, I would like to know how much it is??

 

ye it does look nice... almost like my lexus... i wonder if they just sell that cover... if they do and it fits i would be interested too

 

Dave's number is 800-251-7278 - it's also in the sticky parts thread of you forget it or lose it. He already told us that the headlights MIGHT fit, but at a miminum, they would be $1,200 or more. So, it is fairly cost prohibitive.

Toylet - he only sells OEM stuff, but don't take that negatively, he is the most fair and customer servie oriented OEM parts person I have met. So, if you need ANYTHING OEM, he will definitely take care of you.

 

i read in a thread where he said its something like $200-$250 a side... someone else said it and he confirmed it... thats why im asking... and he said it comes as a whole unit with balasts and all...

 

no no, i was just curious if he sold the fstb, how come only courtesy sells them and not the other car dealers? i mean.. its made by nissan so shouldnt they all have em?

 

Huh - well, I guess I missed the price revision. Sorry about that. Last I heard, they were over a grand so if they aren't, then the better for us.

 

I talked to him about it - he says that Courtesy pretty much has the market cornered on that stuff. Even though Nissan does make them (for the Altima) and courtesy makes the ones for the Maxima, the Maxima ones are still considered aftermarket and Town North isn't in that business right now.

 

Anyone have this thread?

 

any pics of the lights? do these altezza's constitute as rice?

 

Hey Guys- I'll try to answer your q's-
The '02 tails are coming in tomorrow, at this time, two sets are un-spoken for. As soon as I get them, I will compare them to the '00-'01 taillight for physical fit. Then, I will hook them up to my car to make sure there are no electrical/hook-up issues. If everything looks good, I'll post to let everyone know. On the subject of the '02 HID's, I do have a set of them coming in tomorrow, also. The price issue has been settled, too. I hope to offer them to .org members for about $180 a side. What has not been settled is the compatability on an '00-'01. The physical fit looked similar on the '02 we got in, the wiring was different, it would take some very creative wiring to adapt the '02s. Once I get them in, I can do more in-depth research, but at this point, there is no official solution.

Regards, David Burnette, Town North Nissan

 

If you want to test them on a 2000 max I am your man.I am very interested in these and it sounds like you are hooking us up and we are all thankful.

Dave or anyone... How likely is it that it will be possible to do a '00 to '02 exterior conversion... Bumpers, light etc...It shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

 

Have there been any recent posts of what the '02 tails look like? I may've missed em

 

Go to the home page and click on the link for the 2002.

Personally, I like my SE tinted tails better, but I have only seen pictures. Hopefully, the yellow is not the glass, since it is FUGLY. I hope the yellow in the headlamps can be removed also.


Dave B.,
Do you know what style bulbs the high/low beams will use?

 

Please email me ASAP when you get the '02 headlamps.

I need to know, since I'm getting HIDs already. I would like to know if the LOW-beam BULBS are H4-style by chance?

Thanks!

 

I heard that the headlights (HID right??) were over a grand each too, so I musta missed the price revision too. But I was wondering if the 02 tails were clear on the lower half of the circle, like the 00-01 ones, or amber? Cause it looks like the light is on in the nissannews.com pics that are amber. And I know someone photoshopped a pic on a white max with the clear lower half, and it looked sharp!

 

Hey Dave,

Could you clarify your post or reconfirm what I & other seem to be confused about?

This is my take on your post re: HID's.

The price has been settled @ $180 / side ... the only issue that remains is whether they fit or not?

tkx!

 

$180 a side for the 2k2 HIDs? hmmmm..... if they fit the 2k1 and 2k models, then I forsee those going pretty fast.... thanks again Dave!

 

I'm pretty sure he said the taillights were $180 each and the headlights were $1200, but if I'm wrong that's even better. Please tell me I'm wrong!!

 

did u read the first page of this thread?

 

Wishful thinking but, $180 is just for the housing and won't include the HIDs. Hopefully, it comes with all the bulb base/connectors, because those should be different too.


So, what do you guys think??? Both will have functional HIGH/LOW beams with a little ingenuity(sp?).

1)Panasonice HIDs w/2002 Housing
-HIDs ~$460
-02 Housing ~$360
-High Beam bulbs ~$60
-Turn signal bulbs ~$35
-Bulb base/conectors ~$???

2)PIAA HIDs w/stock Housing
-HIDs $~1000-1300 ????
-If fit, no wiring hassle or fitment issues

I'd be getting close to the price of the PIAA or Hellas(I think), so is it worth spending a couple hundred more for them?

 

r u sure?

i just talked 2 Dave

 

hmmm... $180 does sound too good... I am skeptical of it, but perhaps Dave can straighten things out...

 

Yes.

 

So your the GUINEA PIG he was talking about! How fast are you getting them and when you do could you see if the H4 bulb fits for the LOW beam?

He said the unit is COMPLETE with 9005 inner HIGH beam socket, Nisan 3-plug type Xenon HID outer LOW beam bulb, and a Nissan plug type TURN signal. So, now we just need to find out if it will physically fit and then it's going to take some wiring "magic".

One thing he did say was that the HID balast is mounted on the housing and aims down, so you MIGHT need to cut a 4" hole in the bumper for clearence.

 

so it is the entire HID assembly then... if it fits without major modification, I am getting it

 

no no no .. although I was wonderin' who the guinea pig was ... after talking 2 Dave .. I'm more inclined 2 go with the Panasonic's ... less hassle ...
