the marker light should stay on, the low beam should go off.

sounds to me like you connected the marker light wire to the Low beam and the marker light on the driver side.

And you connected the low beam wire to the low beam and marker light on the passenger side.

In other words, your wiring is wrong.

You would think that as I also did... But both sides are wired the exact same way! lol

So if both side are the same way how can each side do something different? lmao

This amounts to money-grubbing blackmail. Those of us (such as me) that have our photos stored on Photobucket need to find a new hosting service.

5.5 gen to 5th gen headlight conversion

Once this is a complete DIY with Hook-Up guide, It needs to get stickied, so please keep the comments ON TOPIC, and let's get this thing stickied for everyone, Thanks.

I am 98% sure of this set up for ALL years listed, there can be no confusion with my Guide, because it does NOT rely on colour codes. The colour codes change between years so DO NOT rely on them.
You want to hook up according to TERMINALS. The terminal designations are the same for 2000/2001, and for 2002/2003.

This set up WILL work on Canadian OR US models, DRL or not.

Just follow the terminal designations I've provided and you'll be fine.

Here is the Complete hook up guide:

2000/2001 --------------- Headlights ---------------- 2002/2003

-------------------------
Terminal 3 R--------------------------------Terminal 4 R (high beam)
Terminal 3 R--------------------------------Terminal 1 R (low /HID)
Terminal 1 R--------------------------------Terminal 5 R
Terminal 3 L--------------------------------Terminal 4 L
Terminal 3 L--------------------------------Terminal 1 L
Terminal 2 L--------------------------------Terminal 2 L (ground supply low beam)
Terminal 2 R--------------------------------Terminal 2 R (ground supply Low Beam)
Terminal 1 L--------------------------------Terminal 5 L


----------------------Marker/Parking------------------


------------------------------

Terminal 1 (coloured)----------------------Terminal 3 (red/yellow[coloured]) Positive
Terminal 2 (black)-------------------------Terminal 2 (black/yellow[black]) Ground


--------------------------Signals-------------------------


-----------------------------

Terminal 3 L (g/b [coloured] +)----------------Terminal 1 L (g/b [coloured] +)
Terminal 2 L (black -) --------------------------Terminal 2 L (black -)
Terminal 3 R (g/y [coloured] +)----------------Terminal 1 R (g/y [coloured] +
Terminal 2 R (black -) --------------------------Terminal 2 R (black -)



These are the relevant power-flow wiring diagrams, for clarification of the above Guide, should you need it:

2000 headlights DRL CANADA:



2000 Headlights USA:



2000 Parking Lamp in Headlight:



2000 Signals in headlamp (same E24/E45 harness as parking):



2003 Headlights DRL Canada:



2003 Headlights USA:



2003 Parking lights in Headlight (same E161/E165 connector as Headlights):



2003 Signal in headlight (different harness from parking lights):

well I’m pretty late to this conversation but I got my first car a 5th gen maxima and I’m a noob on the wiring and fitting stuff but I’ve seen on the 5.5 gen headlight which in my opinion is cooler or better headlights and I’m trying to do a conversion someone plz help me understand everything and help what exactly do I need to complete this conversion, thanks your help!
