Headlight, I'm screwed!
 

Hi guys, have a happy Christmas!
I'm trying to change the stock headlight of my car with those one.http://www.carid.com/ic/spec-d/headl...ax02h-ks_1.jpg
Description: Nissan Maxima 2002-2003, Chrome Halo Headlights by Spec-D®, 1 Pair. Halo headlights combine high performance illumination with the modern "Angel Eyes" design. Intensive and long-lasting, these lights will make your vehicle stand out from the rest.

Perhaps, I disconected all of the stock headlight and I can't connect the new one cause of the connection changes with years. I imagine that I need a connection adaptator to plug them in my maxima 2002. Can someone who have changed their headlight give me instruction on this problem?
Thx alot to you all and happy holidays!

Here some picture of the connection!

Return them and then buy mine!

The new housings are for halogen bulbs and your 2002 Max has more powerful HID lights. You will need to buy 2000-2001 wiring harness and splice the wiring. Personally, I think that converting to halogen is a downgrade in lighting and I wouldn't install those housings.

I made the same mistake. And returned them. They are made to fit the 2000-2001 Maxima. If you read the ad closely (very closely, it's buried) it says it won't fit vehicles with factory HID. All 02-03 Maximas have factory HID.

ATM, i got those headlight that i found a realy great design, I just want to put them and enjoy it. I don't have 1k money to put headlights, I just wanna know how to connect them.
So if i can't connect them, what I need to buy to have my damn angel eyes?
And perhaps, if they are **** headlights, whit what I change if I want Angel Eyes head light?

You have two options. One, you could figure out the wiring on your car and the new headlights. Cut off the connectors and wire them by hand. Or two, you could buy a set of angel eye rings, bake open your OEM headlights mod them yourself.
With the Spec-D headlights you will lose your HID bulbs and ballasts but it will probably be marginally easier to install.

The Umnitza rings will be FAR brighter and will allow you to keep your OEM HIDs. But will be harder to install.

For this option:
One, you could figure out the wiring on your car and the new headlights. Cut off the connectors and wire them by hand

What I need to buy to achieve it?

There are no "adapters" to buy. You will have to cut off the connectors and wire it by hand. Solder, soldering iron, shrink tubing. You can probably find a wiring diagram for the OEM lights in the FSM. If you don't know anything about electrical wiring then you will probably have to pay someone to install them for you.

thx alot for you help man, I'll go in a specified shop to replace them!

If someone can expplain 1 by 1 step, I'll be glad to read it!
Happy Christmass

sell me your old headlights...

I sell nothing, I Keep my old lights.

Replacing the 02-03 hid headlights by these crappy eBay halogen lights... Facepalm

I have never installed these but I believe since these a listed 02-03 they most likely came with 02-03 connectors, but in your cases you will have to cut the connectors off and retire these directly to your existing wiring from your car, try searching it in the search box many have done this before

Find a 2002-03 in the junkyard and make a adapter harness of the plug going to the ballast going to your new headlights

All worked.

Plugged the good thread together.
Plugged the angels eyes with the day light, like in the picture.
All piece that got connected together was sealed with rubber, with fire to ''glue it'' on threads

Was already with Hid conversion with HID bulb, but it sucked, the headlight screen was yellow due to time.

For **** sayers, IDC of yours headlights, I wanted angel eyes and not HID headlight

A Nissan Maxima 2002 SE isn't a Mustang or An Audi sir

That makes no sense.

I mean that i'll don't put 600 $ and more lights on a maxima

We know. Thats why we purchased it.

You already had lights worth close to that in the maxima. They came stock....because it is a maxima and not a mustang.

So what are you going to do with the good headlights? Sell them? I suggest you keep them for when you decide to switch back. If you like the new ebay lights that is great, but you have to admit that it was a downgrade. The light output is less and I would be a lot of money that they do not last nearly as long. I guess it looks better. Some think LED strips look better too. The does not make it an upgrade lol.

Wow.... I would not have done this. What I would have done is put in fresh HID bulbs and rocked that. HID's lose lumens as they age, so installing fresh bulbs makes them look like you upgraded. Oh well, the damage has been done...

I only wanted angel eyes and not HID like all says
IDC if i see less far
And I don'T see that like an upgrade of efficacity sir, i just wanted this design that's all
I don't care of hid in headlight, but i'll put in my fog

Well then you definately got what you want. GL to you sir.

That's the first i've heard of someone not caring about losing visibility. Interesting.

Just to let you know, don't expect these halo angel eye things to last long. They're cheaply made and will start burning out on you. Enjoy them while they last.

HID's in your fogs? That's the worst thing you can do.

I already told him that Behr. Some people just learn the hard way. That is why I told him to keep the good headlights.

Toss a headlight into the oven at 250-300 for a few minutes then use a screwdriver to pry them open. Install angel eyes. Put light into oven again, heat until the sealant is soft and re-seal.

Oh well. Like my late grandfather used to say... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

relax guys

You traded factory 1200 $ headlights for 200 $ ebay craplights?. Here trade me my 2011 super duty dieselfor this here 85 dodge dakota... SMH

It's not a BMW either...

:goofy:

Ill gladly take his hid lights and all components for the 200 he boight the angel eyes for.

That looks like an airbag related connector..

It sounded like he was saying his lenses were yellowed? Is it just me or are there so many people posting in broken English..... Google needs to come out with a way to translate it.... anyways I had a Maxima come in the shop with those fleabay headlights. They condensated when it rained, the output looked like two small spot lights on the road, the angels eyes lasted about 6 weeks, and then the lenses yellowed in about 5 months.

lmao @ the mustang comment. makes no sense plus mustangs can be booty as hell sometimes

For the $200 you spent on your ebay lights. You could have restored your OEM headlights, purchased the Umnitza rings, and still came out at about the same price. Give or take another $50/75 to have the rings installed for you by a shop.

Pros:

1. Getting the look you're after
2. Retain factory HID
3. Retain OEM housings/wiring
4. Costs about the same
5. Looks f***ing epic:

The factory headlight housings DO come back to life with a little TLC...

Ps. Here is the link of the how-to when you change your mind :D

I'm guessing he speaks primarily French. As for the Ebay lights, I've seen some have good luck with them. Some not so much. Seems the luck of the draw. He seemed pretty adamant about making those work. I figure if he's happy with the results then it's a job well done. I myself would have liked angel eyes on my Max. Maybe someday I'll break down and order the Umnitza rings and bake my headlights open.

Gabrielx94 you should have waited and bought my headlights man, i have brighter halos than those crappy ones you have in your headlights!

Retrofit or nothing. :o

Screw eBay headlights. They look like sh*te. Especially the ones they make for MY car...

OEM with cleaned lens umnitz or TRS rings and fresh QUALITY bulbs!

I don't get the fascination with "halo" style lights...
