i used bigdog's writeup cuz it seemed a lot simpler. i'll probably redo it to ice's once i see the relay install.
they look nice and they're really not that difficult to install. everything works great, other than the HIDs going off with the high beams.
total time for both sides: 3 1/2 hours being very careful.

 

Can you let me know what connectors/supplies you used..i think i can get my hands on just the headlight unit but nothing else... so i need the info what extras i might need.
Roger

Hopefully i will be next.. please post pics.. i never get tired of seeing those new headlights..
anyone got a black max?
Roger

 

i only had to buy the wire stripper/crimper. i found some reusable twist couplers that worked really well instead of the butt connectors. as for all the tie strips, wire loom.... it's mostly for making the wiring look nice. like i said, i'm expecting to get in there again, so i've postponed the beautification part of it. i think i'll try to find some red wire loom.

you will definitely need the stock connectors however. the headlamp assembly alone doesn't include any of the connection pieces. call daveb.

 

Good $HIT, glad it worked out. I will be changing my write up soon to a different version of wiring. I think ICE's wiring is too complicated and I want to try something different. No offense ICE, if it works for you, cool.

I still gotta cut that alarm headlight flashing wire.

Hope you love them as much as I do, now you are the THIRD person who has them. Remember who was the first? Hmmmm I think it was me....... lol

 

hehe, nice lights. went driving tonight, along the LONG way home. if you can believe it, i left a bachelor part early cuz when the restaurant valet brought my car out, i couldn't believe the lights. so i missed the strippers, i'll live. bad thing is, the hids really make the stock fog lights' yellow tint come out. gotta get some h3's.

as for ice's writeup, i will eventually incorporate some of his ideas into my permanent wiring. like i said, it's simply too involved for an electrical novice like myself to tackle without getting comfortable working on my car. but that complexity does make me kinda uneasy because i feel like i'm leaving a lot of things out. relays will definitely go in as well as some solution for the high beams.

 

Yeah same here, I need a GOOD pair of H3s. I have tried over 4brands, and none of them even come close to the color. I think it has something to do with the size of the bulb.

Let me know if you find something

 

wow. which ones did you try so far. i was just going to get a pair of the PIAA Super Whites. even maybe some cheapie Sylvanias. all i want is to reduce the yellow since i'm not expecting to match the exact color.
another option, albeit a costlier one, is to get a real set of lights down there. like some PIAA 1000's or 959's. but that's a whole other deal...

 

Sunday the 9th Im installing my HID's!!! Just got my car 1.4 weeks ago and already mod'ing, and its with the HID's no less!! Thanks for all the great write ups, both bigdog and y2k. No offense but I will be going with Y2K's install tomorrow. If anyone needs the harness #'s for the HID's ive gott'em, even the clip # too. I will be the 4th in the country (i guess) to have these installed, and props go out to all my other peeps who got them installed earlier.

Lates.

go PIAA Platnum Series h3's!!

 

i don't want three different colors coming from my car: the HIDs, the foglights, and the new running lights. does anyone know what type of bulbs are in the 02 front running lights? i forgot to look.

 

Simple wedge bulbs. Same that are in your corners.

 

Don't cut any of the theft alarm wires. The theft realy 2 (marked horn 3 on the relay box cover) needs to be removed and the two coils leads jumpered (use two male spades with a short length of wire). this will keep the headlamps from flashing, but will still have the horn sound.

 

Can you make a write or detailed explanation so i can do this.

Dixit

 

Dr!

Can u give me these #'s as well as how much they cost?

Tkx!

 

By removing Theft Horn Relay 2, the headlamp circuit will be removed from the theft circuit. This will be needed if you install 2002 HIDs and are concerned that activating the theft circuits may harm the ballast. From some new postings, it appears that moving from Auto to On will not harm the ballast, but the 50 second pulsing for the theft circuit may.

Does anyone know if the 2002 has the same theft circuit and if just the highbeams flash?

Anyway, on to the mod.


1. Open the top of relay box 1 (on passenger side, same box that has fog lamp relay)

2. The theft horn relay 2 is the second relay, starting at the firewall side, toward the engine. Blue and rectangular, not square.

Firewall side
-------------
| | |
| | Fog |
F | | |
e -------------
n | |This |
d | |relay| Engine
e | | |
r -------------
| | |
|Open | |
| | |

3. Remove relay by releasing white tab (use small, flat blade screwdriver)

4. Check top of relay to see which connectors are 1 and 2 (coil side)

5. Make jumper using 2 male .25 inch flat connectors and a piece os 14 or 16 gauge wire about two to three inches long. Crimp connector to each end of wire.

6. Put one connector into connection 1 and the other into connection 2.

7. Replace relay cover box.

As with any rewiring project, unforeseen problems may arise with other circuits with your car. Do this mod only at your own risk.

 

Get some pimpin strobe lights with hids

 

Just like me

 

go pull some over

 

Ill post those numbers up on monday.
However for now your need to order
2 B4343-10Y05 These are the HID harnesses one for each side.
There is one more harness you gotta order from Nissan (will have part number tomorrow) and you have to go to auto zone, pep boys etc. and buy 2 9005 sockets (2.49 each)

Dude, does you're EGO need stroking or what? This is like the 3rd post stating, "remeber I was the FIRST to get them installed", "oh you guys don't appreciate me", whatever.

If it wasn't for MY foot-work, MY persuading Dave B. it could be done, and MY effort you wouldn't even have known it was possible. I had them wired and working LONG before you. Plus, I had them working the correct way.

First, you pressure Dave B. into sending you MY headlamps ASAP, so you can get them first almost causing me not to recieve them before I left town. Second, you claim how you're going to install them in like 15-minutes, which was BS. Third, you HAMMER them into the car which was NOT necessary after all. Fourth, you don't spend enough time to even get them wired correctly, so the HIDs stay on with the High beams.

I tried and tried to let it go, but dude you just keep stating oh how your the MAN when your nothing more than a guy who jumped on the band-wagon. LAST, the whole time you're acting like the BIGGEST A$$HOLE on Earth for NO reason. Get a life and please, $hut Up!
