hey guys, i finally got my 07 conversion done. i am now debating on whether i should put hid's in the fogs on the bumper and keep the oem bulbs in the 04 housing or vise versa. i have to build a wiring harness with a relay any way so i was figuring which one would look better. fyi i build my own harness in a way so they can on without the headlights. input guys would be appreciated!

 

I'd say go for it and HID both!!! Or you could HID both but run 3000k's down below, that would look sweet...

 

Pics my friend, post'em up. I would go for both sets of fogs HIDs for all four!

 

I say go for a totally new rad look that is becoming more and more popular..I went with the PIA ION Yellow....they are as bright as or more than the 3ks and are really cool...Have them on my car and got lots of compliments! And it's inexpensive...I paid $55 for two! They are plug and play H3 replacements. no wiring or balasts or fuses etc...Simple yet cool and elegant....Xenons are too bright what U trying to do blind others?

 

i believe the fog light size i would need is h11. apollos2, ill post pix once i get back home.

 

jsmith, i was thinkin that but would that be overkill?

 

In for pics...

 

dude forget about yellow hid's or bulbs go to hidtech.com and buy the yellow lexus capsules . they are only 30$ and neva fade and you can use reguler white bulbs when one of our bulbs go out plus its more yellower than anyother bulb out there.

 

ive heard that hidtech.com went out of business. im looking into get the h11 3k 35w hid kit that should be close to the lexus is300

 

My PIAA yelow fogs are bright but I don't think they are as bright as or brighter than HID's though...here's my setup (pre 8k's)

 

Good luck, their customer service is ****.

Their capsules won't work on our projectors.

 

soo true about customer service. i sent em 3 emails not one reply. so now im thinking of getting getting 6k hids or yellow hids.

 

Anyone know what kinda hidz would go good with the factory hidz for the 08 maxima? ie[6000k..]

 

d2s bulbs in wahtever temp u want. im swappin mine out from the oem 4300k to the 6000k ones. i got my hid fogs in today so during spring break ill install them and get pix posted for u guys!

 

hey guys, i finally got this done [with the help of my brother] yesterday! i can say this looks amazing! the light output from the fogs are soooo beautifully yellow, lol!

 

Whats everyone paying these days for the ballast for non HID Max's?

 

Is it worth it to replace the stock fogs (04 max) with xenon 3000K or 4300K? Will it make a big difference compared the the H3 bulb?

Will it blind other people or not? I wouldnt do that for looks, but if it lights up the road way better, that might be worth it. Right now, when I have the stock xenons, and I turn on the oem fogs, I have to say that it really really doesnt make much of a difference... maybe a slight yellow patch right in front of the car, thats all..

Opinions ?

 

bump, id like an answer.

 

grimmax-i paid 145$ shipped for a 35w 3k kit
kryogen-id get the 3k ftw! the fogs make an amazing difference imo. the whole ground is yellow, hehe.

 

HID's in both, 3000K in the bumper

 

I have yellow H3's and they are way better than stock. I don't have a before and after but here's a on/off:

 

sorry to jack thread, but it wont let me start my own.

Has anyone done an HID conversion in a 6th gen with no factory HID's? I have my 8000k headlight kit, and a 3000k foglight kit, hoping to do it tomorrow, but i searched and didnt find much on install. Both plug and play, but i heard the caps might be an issue and I might have to order new ones because they will be too short to fit the HID bulb. anyone know anything about this? and could I just drill a hole in the cap to open it up to fit the bulb?

 

I dont really love the yellow look of the fogs. I'd rather have 4300K fogs imo, since I always keep the fogs on.

Anyone's got a pic of street illumination with xenons and then xenon fogs? (not 3000k)

 

So you swapped out the OEM fogs for 6000k lights to be installed later

And then you added 3k 35w in the bumper?

 

update, i have finally finished ALL my lighting projects today!

apollos, i kept the oem nissan ballast and put in 6k bulbs. and yes, i added the 35 3k hids down in the bumper. [i did the 07 bumper swap with all oem parts including the fogs, etc]. i also finished painting my headlights today as well! actually, i experimented on my brothers civic to get some practice, lol.

 

pics??

 

my bad guys, ill get the pics hopefully tonight or tomorrow after work.

 

wow so you paid for the OEM fogs? They are a little pricey but you know they will fit.

 

it was worth it imo cause i didnt want to deal with making aftermarket ones fit. i got a really good price so it worked out. i wanted everything seamless and the wiring took a while to achieve that but in the end, it was worth it imo.

installed:


on: changed: d2s 6k & h11 3k 35w




ill get better pix, i guess i need to use the slr camera to make it look better.

 

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing.

Where can I get a really good price on them?

The picks look really good. Does the lower part of the bumper come stock with a grill or was that a seperate purchase like the top grill was?

 

another day shot:


heres one at night, the light output is sick imo!


i didnt know there was a lower grille for the 07+ bumper. the top one was separate.

 

i got mine for 125 a piece plus ~5 x 2 for the finishers
