Please don't murder me for asking this question. My gf's son has a 2002 maxima that he wants to put in the halo lights. Everything we find is non compatible with the factory hid system. What kind of options do we have. I have swapped out a bunch of non hid lights for hid lights. never have gone from hid to diff hid. is it possible is there special wiring that needs to be done? He was in a fender bender and needs to replace his front bumper and lights. Any suggestions for going aftermarket for a bumper instead of OEM. Looking to do this as Economical as possible. Thanks in advance. Been digging through here a bit and find a ton of great information that I am going to pass along to him!!!!

They make aftermarket HID lights with the halo's built in but the light output is worse than the older halogen lights, it's that bad.

You can take OEM lights, stick them in the oven to bake them, open them up (carefully), and add your own halo's, but this requires some patience.

Basically, they are your only two options for halos in these cars.

 

anyone know of a good place to get new factory lights? so that we can mod them or if someone has a set for sale???

or

 

As far as bumper mods, Stillen Classic lip and call it a day

 

please sell me the oem headlights lol... please...

 

Right now they are cracked and very clouded over!!! I am sure the crack could be silicone and the fronts be redone but not sure? Might be something that we look into since new oem style lights are like 300!!!!!

 

OEM or aftermarket equivalent for the bumper and classic Stillen front lip. About the lights, look up the write up on angel eyes.

 

$170 eBay halo headlights + $84 LED Angel eyes + elbow grease = $254 new halo headlights.. enjoy!

 

Ok those look awesome!!!!!! Your in iowa too we are in Bellevue, ia looking to do this as well. How hard was it to do? Where did you find your ebay lights? just get lucky on an auction???

 

Here's the link for the headlights http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-NISSAN-MAXIMA-DUAL-HALO-RIMS-CLEAR-LENS-JDM-BLACK-HEADLIGHTS-PAIR-/390570109951?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aefcaebff and here's where I bought the Halos from http://www.jlclightings.com/White-72...p/ae-38938.htm & http://www.jlclightings.com/White-78...p/ae-38939.htm

As far as installation goes it was pretty simple and straight forward, you just have to bake the headlights and take the lens apart. Unscrew the old halos and put in the new ones, reseal the headlights and voila you're done.

 

Will these lights except the factory hid light?

 

The items linked are for an 00-01, so you would then need to convert them to HID. If you have an 02-03, then these are the ones you want, or just search eBay for them.
