2002 light mods..any mositures in units?
For those who has the 2002 lights mod. Have any one experienced having mositure in the headlight unit? I spoke to Bob from Stanford and brought that to my attention about some ppl found moistures in their 2002 lights. He said it may be due to the O-ring from the 9005 unit. The whole housing for the light seem to sealed up pretty good. I'm still waiting to put the lights on my 2K maxima. Another question I have is, Did everyone have the right parts for their lights. I also noticed that the signal plug didn't fit. There is an extra tab in the way. I know someone brought up the issue about the plug not fitting. My question to those who has that problem: Did u guys just shaved that tab off and hook up the lights? Thanks

I actually got my whole set from DaveB and he gave me all the correct plugs, no problems here.
PS, I am still trying to figure out a LAST fix for this damn 2k2 HIDs, just need to figure out how to fix the flash to pass deal.

BTW... I took the car to the dealership for my normal checkup, and they charged me $20 to aim the lights. They didn't know what they were doing and aimed them too low! Kev, you said I need an 8mm something? do I put that in the little hole in the middle of those white things, or do I use a screwdriver type thing. Also, which way makes them aim higher. Thanks!

what?
yeah.. I'm wayyyyy lazy.. but I've had them in for quite some time. I said no moisture yet.
funny thing is.. I *thought* I'd wait forever to put them in.. but once I saw them there... there was no stopping me.. I was possessed by them.. they HAD to be installed..
I kept hearing tiny voices coming from the boxes "install us... install us, Tim."

Make sure you don't aim it too high or you'll get flashed a lot.

since you adjusted should I try in 1/4, 1/2 or full turns to get a small adjustment....Hmmm I guess what I am trying to say is how sensitive is the turn compared to the up/down of the beam? Any idea how to quantify?

I did 2 turns because I'm dropped so low... but got flashed a few times and lowered it by 1/2.

A very VERY rough estimate...
my calculations, which may be flawed, would be
On a level surface, top of beam 5-7 inches up on the wall at 2 car lenghs. stock suspension.
How I get that? ok.. youre supposed to be 32 feet right? our car is about 16 feet long, so the space of 2 cars = 32. Light is supposed to be vertically centered at 5.2 inches, +/- 2.7
this doesnt take into consideration horizontal.. so I still may visit the dealer.
