No. Those lights are a downgrade.

ALWAYS be weary of ANY sale where the description misrepresents the item being sold. For example, those say projector......those are NOT projector. That always tells me the seller is either too stupid to know what he has and therefore is unreliable regarding the product.....OR they are intentionally mis-representing the item.

The appeal is understandable, since it's a common mod to black out the lens housing, clear the turn-signal, and install halo lights... all of which this sale purports to do in one fell swoop.

For only $125, give it a shot. Be forewarned with the adage about getting what you paid for.

Actually, he asks if they will work (there's more) with his stock HID's.

And the answer is NO. NO these headlights will not work with his stock HID's. It even lists in the ebay post that the low beams use H1 bulbs. Stock Maxima HID bulbs use D2R (I think D2S is an appropriate replacement.)

Either way, he would have to replace or convert his stock HID system to use an H1 bulb. These headlights appear to have a deflector in them, so they appear to be HID friendly.

They could work. But I misread apparently

They will work with his car. Not with the stock HIDs. So, they sorta work

From a Nissan-designed HID light, to a Chinese-designed filament bulb light.

NOT the direction to go.
