Last night, a 2004 maxima rolled up next to me at the light, and of course it was stock. When the light went green I smashed the gas and let the fury of the intake come out. Anyhoo, I was about a block ahead of him now, and I noticed that the HID's that he had were purple, not the usual blue-ish tint like the 02-03's. Could this have been stock, or was it probably an Upgraded system? It looked really purple without a doubt from a far distance but upclose it looked to be just slightly offwhite.

 

It could have been stock. That's how mine look.

 

It's probably stock, just looks purple due to the projector housing.

 

Impressive, thanks guys

 

Got my car today! Mine are purple too. The brights are hardcore on this car!!

 

^ Are the high beams HID as well?

 

yes

From what I read, when you have the lights on, there is a cover blocking half the HID, when you turn the brights on it uncovers it all.

I don't know whether this is true or not, but it looks to be.

 

i think its because of the projector lense. i have a 04 max without hid and sometimes you can see alittle purple.

 

I think you're right. If you notice they don't get any brighter on high, they just illuminate a larger area.

 

Yep, I noticed the same exact thing. Not brighter, just a larger area - The HID's are bright enough anyway :P

 

Mine look purple, also. I thought I was just having problems with my contacts. Thanks for assuring me that I wasn't going color blind or losing my sight all together.
