Somebody linked me a bulb, but it was on ebay, and I'm trying to avoid using ebay.
Do oven heat gun is hard! D2R hid 9005 high 197 for the others

I would suggest going to a website like www.custommaxima.com, buying a set of HID replacement headlights that are already painted black without the amber corners, and getting someone to help you install them. They usually come with all the bulbs and wiring that you need. If not on that website, you can visit some of vendor forums on maxima.org, ebay, amazon, just look for 2002 Nissan Maxima SE HID headlights in black or something of that nature.

Oh, I didn't know you meant that the lens is larger than that, and I'd have to cut the lens into a smaller lens, I thought I'd have to cut a large like square 10 x 12 piece of plastic into a circle and fit it into the lens. MY APOLOGIES. LOL. So since it's a bulb, I just pop that lens out and trace it onto the amber lens, and use the lens from the bulb, and put that, where the amber lens was?

I get the feeling If someone came to your house and held your hand showing you every detail and explaining it all along the way, you would still come on here and ask questions and say the way he did it didn't make sense to you.

Lol, I just don't want to mess anything up. I don't see the problem at all. Spending hours, trying to browse these forums to see if anybody had the same questions as me is pointless, when I can just directly ask my own questions, and have them answered.

If you don't want to help me, then don't comment on the thread.

If you actually don't want to mess anything up, you research, and research, and research, then, when you understand most of the subject and procedure, if you still have questions you ask.

I cannot think of one thing in life except childhood where you can just ask other people to answer everyone of your questions without putting any effort out of your own.

We are not here to spoonfeed you.

The part you don't realize is most of the people answering you take 2 seconds to google the answer then provide you with the results.
All you have to do is google yourself, it takes no time at all, no where near hours.

You are just being lazy and annoying

Based on what I have read I think your best bet is to just leave the car alone and enjoy the fact that it already came from the factory with HID's...

Okay cool, last question probably. I'm about to buy a new blinker bulb, I'm just going to spray paint it chrome myself, I still want to have the amber effect when it blinks, so I'd have to buy an orange bulb correct? or would I buy this and then spray paint it chrome?

WTF. Just spray paint your windshield black so it looks tinted and then go for a long drive.

lol suck me off backwards. I got help from somebody else from this website who's taking an extra step with helping me. I don't want to look at 10 year old threads and research for hours to hope that somebody might have the same question as me. You're all little girls on this website talking all **** for no reason. If I have a question, answer it, if you don't want to answer it, then don't comment on the thread. I don't understand what's so hard about that? You're all wayyyyy more "annoying" than I am.

Is one of those mods a dryer vent intake that was scientifically proven in the proper manor to make an extra 100 hp?

Dude, the directions to do this are clearly written in plain English. So reread them and then reread them one more time.
