2000 SE Steering Wheel & Headlights, where to find

My girlfriend owns a 2000 SE with 202,000 on the car. I was looking around for a new steering wheel for her car possibly new headlights as well. Are those easy to come by on here?

maybe you should be more specific with your thread title because "2000 SE" could mean anything, also it seems like you should be in the classifieds. If your trying to upgrade the steering wheel and headlights search is your friend(lots of info on here). If you looking for direct replacements seems like a salvage yard would be the first place to look. good luck

If you want a direct replacement for a 2000 Max, then you won't have any problems with something made fore the 2000 Max. But if you are trying to upgrade and/or customize, then it is not as cut and dried and we need more information.

I'd try buffing out the headlights before I bought some.

Just looking for oem parts for the max. Nothing custom . Sorry for not being specific I figured if I said 2000 SE on the maxima forum in the 5th gen section ppl would be smart enough to figure that out

:FACEPALM:

you think simply because you put "2000 SE" in your title, everyone would know what you are looking for? Also, there is a big button up there that says SEARCH.....

tigersharkdude is not alone. "2000 SE" really doesn't say anything about what you're looking for...
You should take it as a tip for your own future benefit.
Hit the classified sections and post a WTB if don't find anyone selling what your looking for.

Sounds like she has alot of miles so, may wanna save that money for future repairs, etc.......so since you asked for opinions here you go.........

Like someone said just buff them with those headlight restorer products, they work pretty good. Only reason I see to get oem hlights would be if cracked, etc.

Steering wheel, don't think you will find except at your local salvage or ebay. If the steering wheel is just faded around the grips, I would just get those covers to go around it and call it a day.

Pics of headlights? Unless they have some damage, a good compound/buff should make them look new.

The aftermarket headlights suck pretty bad. I ended up removing the lens from the aftermarket headlights and intalled the lens into the old headlights. I got tired of having to clean the headlights every couple months.

I have the above headlights in my car for about 3 years now. Haven't polished them once.
