Finally after making the damn page for more than 3hrs, I got it done, tried to explain the best i could for your wiring challenged people.

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dsuthar/2k2install.html

There it is, Remember I aint responsible if you blow up your ballast or burn up some $hit.

This is the wiring for where when the High beams are turned ON it will cut OFF your Xenons.

Now ICY2K1 said he got it to work some other way without a relay, once we get his info that will be great, but for now this will help for you other people.

How much were those sons a *****es?

 

Thanx BigDogJonx!!! We really appreciate it!

 

impressive. thanks.

 

wow. very clean install. not sure if I understood, what was not included with the kit that you had to buy to do this?

 

Nice write up and pics. Colors for the 2k are the same with one minor addition. Green/yellow is the power for the RH turn signal, but it is Green/Black for the left hand side.

 

Good job!

 

I remember those guys saying they were around 460 with all the goodies to connect. relays and what not. Don't have exact #'s.

 

The headlight assemblies and all the plug connectors. There are 3 per side.

The exact amount came to $434 with shipping for both sides. It was 180 per side for the assembly and then almost another $30 per side for the plug connectors.

I have a question. Since the stock light switch has a auto light on feature on the handle, will it be disabled when the 2k2 light unit is installed? Thanks. Good job on the write up! Thanks.

 

One more thing, can u also include all the wires, parts, and other things u think we might need to have before installing the HID. Thanks again.

 

No it will not disable the AUTO feature. I left it that way because there is nothing wrong like that and it works good

I did include what parts are needed. As far as wires, you dont need anything cause you are going to be splicing into the factory harness with the plug/connectors you should have gotten.

 

as for the pricing...it has gone to over $600 a side...not including adapters.

 

Not to be rude, but HAHAHAHAHHAA
All I can do is laugh and PI$$ over that price.

Hopefully i will make use of this write soon,

can we get nissan to install the 2k2 headlights
i dont know if i wanna mess with that electrical stuff
how much are the pair of head lights anyway?

 

Nissan will not do this because they dont even have a writeup or anything to go upon. Even if you go in there with MY writeup, they will still not do it because they dont want to be held responsible for messing it up.

Each headlamp assembly is currently going for about I believe $600 a side. This is the last figure i heard. Making that over $1200 for the pair, mighty expensive there.

 

Another question after I studied your write up. Since the parking lamp gets it power through the HID plug does it share the ground? If so, do the parking lamps go off the the HIDs go off?

 

Yes, unless you wire it to share the ground with the turn signal as I did.

Check out my "Rough Draft" Writeup: http://maxima.cardomain.com/member_p...=143972&page=4

 

Woah .. holdit... how come the HUGE price jump? I remember before the assemblies were out we had someone on teh list claiming we could pick them up for $250/assembly.. what's happening here!?

 

Hey Guys, I offered yesterday, and the offer is still open to sell the 2K1's for $675 for the pair!! Get me your orders and they're yours! Email me anytime.

thanks.

 

Maybe you can shed some light on the dim blinking high beam light that Alex seems to be exeriencing. Are you getting the same thing with your wiring set up?

Thanks.

 

I am not expperiencing the same this as Alex. I dont know what this problem he is talking about, I need more info on it.

SIXMAN, when the parking lights are turned on the parking lights come on, and the HIDs are turned on the parking remain on, and when the HIDs are turned off (back to parking) the parking lights remain on.

It is exactly how it should be there, it is sharing the ground, but that is all. When the Highbeams are cut ON, the parking lights do TURN OFF since the ground it shared. If this is what you were talking about then yes.

Dixit

 

He won't be getting the same problem, since he wired his HIDs AND High beams using the stock harness to supply power to BOTH individually. That is why his HIDs turn OFF whenever he switches from LO-to-HI. I run a separate POWER wire to my HI-beams, so when the lights are NOT being used the indicator light has power and a small resistance to ground. This is why the HI-beam indicator light flashes. The slight resistance/path to ground in the lighting switch is causing it.

I don't believe there is ANY way to fix it without SERIOUS work, so you either live with it or run 2-relays like I will be doing hopefully this Saturday.

 

Thanks, Y2K, can you please see my most recent post re: your write up! Thanks, although I got most of my questions resolved with these new posts.

Dr.Omed

 

Just saw your page ... FANTASTIC JOB!!! The PIX & your comments on the pix will be extremely helpful!

tkx!

 

Check out my NEW addition.

How's the schematic?

 

Hey,

I haven't read both of your write-ups in detail as I don't even have my HID's yet .. but how come they are different? Shouldn't there only be ONE (1) way of wiring these?

 

Um there can be numerous ways to wire something. ICEs way is to solve the Highbeam problem without relays. But I also have another way without relays also.

Its all about preference

 

Nice Camera!

Very nice focus!

 

Pictures and write up look great!
thanks

 

Won't doing this kind of modification void your warranty on the electrical system??

Did anyone check the 2k2 service manual for the wiring diagram? I would expect this has some very useful information to be used in matching up the HID assembly to the standard wiring.

 

they look great, but is there a way to get the orange part out and replaced with clear?

 

Probably, but you'll have to crack open the assemblies... something I don't wish to do.

 

I dont think anyone wants to risk opening the headlight assembly. Plus, I noticed from the backside that the orange lens is the only piece. If you Remove that, then there is no Clear lens, either you would have to custome make one or get a bulb orange.

I think if you use the orange bulb without an orange lens, then i think you would have too much light spreading all over the headlight assembly that might make it look like crap.

Dixit

 

I've been timing out getting to the http://www.nrrrd.net/dixit/2k2install.html site. I'd really like to see your write-up.

 

OK - I am all confused (have you guys heard that before?!!)) First of all, thanks so much for the writeups - Ice and Dixit did a fantastic job in pioneering this for dumba**es like me.

In the first post, Dixit, you said,"This is the wiring for where when the High beams are turned ON it will cut OFF your Xenons.". I thought you fixed that with the grounding thing where you grounded the lows and highs to different places so that the lows remained on when you turned on the high. I thought that was the preferred method or did I miss something in all the posts.

Sorry if you have already answered the question.

Thanks again guys.

 

This post was created before he finished his FINAL setup.

Currently the HI and LO are BOTH on when you hit the HI-beam switch postion and the ALARM no longer flashes the headlamps.

 

Alex,

Thanks for clearing that up for me - I should have checked dates before I posted - but every Y2k light post has me concerned!!!

But now I have another question, is the only ALARM flashing fix currently the o2 sensor tapping. If I choose not to do that at this point, there is no alternative fix for that, correct? I'm just trying to understand my options.

Thanks again.

 

There has to be a better "ignition-on" power source than tapping the O2-sensor. I would NOT use this, since the ECU uses those sensors to control VITAL engine parameters such as fuel and timing. BOOM!

So far, every source I see is in the passenger compartment. Everything is connected to the Smart Entrance Control Unit to keep control once the car is shut down. I'm still looking, but I'd rather run a wire into the passenger compartment and connect to the cigarette lighter than the O2 or MAF or any sensor for that matter.

If your willing to figure out where you can snake a wire through the FIREWALL, I'll give you an "ignition-on" power source.
