Help !! HID

I have 2000 maxima and I want to order HIT Kit ... But I have no idea which one is good .... and if I order one, do I need to also order some relay and resistor?

Which HID kit is cheap and high quality? I just saw DDMtuning is it good?

DDM will probably be good enough for you.

Relay harness is not necessary on all cars. I've ran HID's on my 5th gen for about 3 years now and I've never needed to run a relay but not every car is the same. Test them out for about a week or two and if you see any flickering issues, then order the relay. Its completely up to you, though. Good luck!

I don't know what resistor you're talking about but I'd definitely run a relay harness. Make sure it's negative switched.

DDM HID kit in the stock 5th gen headlights is the way to go... you will be putting out a ton of light on the road, not just for you but every body else as well

What year is the maxima, before you buy a kit. Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to put an HID kit in the stock 5.5 lights,

OP, update your garage with the year and transmission of your car or it's hard for people to answer your questions accurately on here.

I have the 35w. I think 55w, you're just asking to get pulled over.

35w on 4300k OEM Temp looks nice and clean
