HID's and LED's are in ..... *56k Go AWAY*
Got my HID's installed Today. 9006 Kit with 6000k. I love it. The Halogen projectors arent that bad at all.
I also put in 9 LED bulbs in the reverse lights.
Sorry for the crappy picture. I really need to invest in a Tripod

Your beam pattern looks crappy...sorry but too much glare is what I see...you'll be blinding people...look at the light that escapes above your HID cutoff line...

Looks good. That cutoff line doesn't look that bad. Some say the HID and halogen projectors are the same except for the bulb socket? I'm trying to debate installing a 9006 kit into the stock housings or getting OEM HID housings.
Oh you are right about the LED's not giving off that much light. I have the same 9-LED lights in my reverse lights on my Mustang. Looks cool but can't see anything really.

Not really much you can do to upgrade HID's...cept maybe install the 50w versions they use as landing lights on commercial aircraft.

You can change the light color if you wanted. They are already the brightest in terms of light output at 4300K but if you wanted to give them a blueish tint you could install some 6000K or 8000K bulbs off ebay. WOn't actually make them brighter though.

I hated how the OEM fogs looked and how they diminished the blueness of the HIDs when you turned them on at night, atleast from a drivers perspective...I know oncoming traffic still saw all HID because it is so much brighter.
I had PIAA super plasma for $70, and those were so colorful they actually made the HID look bad, but luminics are $30 a pair and are the closest HID match Ive seen.

Supposedly the Maxima's HID projector isn't that great at all to begin with...at least compared to other projectors. Plus Nissan aims the headlight too high from the factory for some strange reason. It needs to come down a tad.

What IS a no-no is putting HID D2R in an OEM halogen housing. That results in an explosion of beams shining in every direction and blinding everyone on the road.
From the Pic,it looks pretty good IMO.

Can't find a specific thread where it was mentioned. I don't know how valid their info is, but a few times i have read that the maxima projectors don't have have as sharp a cut off line as other projectors. Supposedly the Infinity FX has the best in terms of razor sharp cutoff. Some of those guys know more about HID's and projectors than most of us would care to ever even notice

But I respect your opinion even though I still disagree with your original statement...
