Just got off the phone with DaveB and I ordered me the last set he had for the 2K2s headlight assembly. He said no one has figured out how to do the wiring.

I said what the hell, send them to me. Between me and my friend and my brother, we got enough wiring and electronics experience to wire a house with a full fledged audio system and alarm system. I know we will figure the joint out in about 2hrs.

I will post some pics and how to's once we figure everything out. Too excited about them now. Just need them now and dont want to wait. THANKS DaveB!!!

Sure were, but I think he said it is gonna be like 209 a side with the Harness. The harness he is including is like $29 a side and that is for me to figure out how to wire the joint.

You guys can pay $400 for both headlights with bulbs and ballasts?

No Weasel, envy is a sin. We must be proud of our 5th gen brothers.

Hey, we finally have some to brag about. LOL.

I don't mind splicing, if the directions are clear.

You telling me, I just bought this damn HID kit like 2weeks ago. I think I am going to just sell it on eBay or possibly sell the whole headlight assembly with the HID kit on eBay.

Yo that would be hot! I went and saw the new 2K2 Black SE at Rosenthal Nissan and the new tail lights looked WACK on that car. The silver in the tails dont match the black whatsoever. The smoked tail I got looks way better.

But the HID lights look hot on the 2K2. I think I will get them like by Friday of next week but wont be able to install them cause I am moving to Chantilly.

I will email you when I get a chance to put them in. Give me your email address.

You know what ****es me off is the fact that I bought a Vision HID kit like 3weeks ago and they are nice as $hit and now just bought these 2k2 headlights. So I will probably sell the HID kit on eBay and the 2k1 headlight assembly on eBay also.

Hopefully I will come out at least even.
