Bought em' here on the group deal and I had em' installed a few days ago and I'm really diggin' this set up.
I was gonna buy the fogs at the same time but I was undecided on what color to get. It was suggested to me to go and buy the 3K or "amber" color but I want to buy the 6k color to match my head lights. My only concern is that the front will be too bright for the opposing traffic. So which would look good, 3K or 6K?

 

looks good man IMO if your trying to match the heads get the 6k without a doubt its not going to be too much for oncoming drivers. there making some of the new ford pickups with unbelievably bright fogs most of which brighter than the headlights ive talked to a few people with them and they say its stock, you should be fine. if it was me id be doing the 3k with lexus caps again my .2cents

 

I've got 6000k in the fogs on 2 cars, not a problem, plus fogs are aimed down

 

You'll love the 3000K in crappy conditions.

I know I do.

 

Lookin good Gollum

 

looks hotttttttttt...........

 

Them 6000k's put out some nice white light. Matching the fog lights with the head lights looks good and all but when its foggy, raining, snowing its nice to have a lil yellow contrast from a quality 3000k bulb to light up the road directly in front of the car.

 

Exactly what I was going to say.

 

DAMN THERE BRIGHT. NICE

 

Drive with 6000k in the rain, then decide whether you want yellow fogs or not. In the rain, you won't be able to see if your 6000k HIDs are on.

 

3000k FTW!!!

 

go with 3k

 

looking good
i just installed my fogs..10k down low..and up top....

 

Can u see in the rain?

 

welcome to the 10k club

 

Guys, maybe someone will be able to help me.
I bought H3 HID kit to replace factory fog lights on 2004 Maxima SE with factory HID.

The problem I'm having is that standard H3 has only single connector and it's being plugged in into negative terminal inside the light assembly. The positive connection seems to be hard wired inside the housing. At least I wasn't able to disconnect it.
The H3 HID bulb came with two connectors: red and black. The black will go into factory ground connection. The question is, where should I plug in the positive wire of the H3 HID.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

 

Go with the 3000k, they are much better. I have 6000k up top and 3000k down low. It looks so cool too.

 

Why not go the middle and get 4300? I want either 6k or 8k mains white/bluesish and do a yellow 4300. Thats what i am planning but have been very undecided. Mr. Gollum did you install them yourself? Any members here can help and uncertain, unsteady fellow members on basic installs?

 

Yes, some help and pictures will be really appreciated. I don't see a fog light swap for HIDs as plug-n-play. Or I got a wrong kit.
Once again, please help.
2004 Maxima SE

 

Anyone here who put H3 HID in 6th gen instead of fogs? Any insight will be helpful.

 

how did you installed it ? can you help me i'm New, its me first Maxima, and i'm trying to replace mt stock with a hid kit. did you replace the fog and turning lights too ? thank you

 

Finally did my fogs with the $49 HID kit from ebay. Spent about 3 hours in the garage, but the actual work time was about 1 hr. Install required some drilling and cutting, but nothing major. Found a write up on vqpower. Now my 5000k fogs are brighter than stock HID driving lights which are 4300K. No regrets.

 

Looks great man! I loved mine when I first did them! Has anyone with a 6th gen and 6.5 bumper done HID for the fogs in the headlight and in the bumper??

 

looks good

 

Hey everyone...I'm from North Jersey. I'm looking to replace my Halogen bulbs(one just burnt out) with 5K or 6K HIDs. Can any of you guys point me in the right direction of a vendor out there that sells them at a quality price AND someone in the North Jersey area that can install them for me? I just looked up how much the Halogen replacement bulb costs and it just doesn't seem worth it to me to replace. Thanks for your help!

 

looks good! id go with the 3k fogs too.

i have a question though. i recently put a set oh HID's on my brothers maxima for him and now the passenger headlight is out. i checked the fuse box both in the engine compartment and under the dash but couldnt find one that was blown. being that this is not my car, im not sure where else to look. Any suggestions?

 

The bulb..?

 

i guess i should of been more specific. i installed a HID headlight set. i know it works since i tried it on the drivers side. i figured it would be a fuse or a relay of some sort that blew since the running light inside the headlight comes on but not the actual head light.

 

The ballast may be bad or the power wires may be backwards, I deal with a lot of HID kits.

 

those look sick I got the 60000k

 

ive always wondered how non 3000k fogs actually performed in the fog. looks like you're better off going with 3000k for your fogs. . .

 

I'm not thrilled with the way my 4300k performs in the fog. Definitely not as good as regular halogen bulbs. I'd imagine it's much worse with 6000k.

 

car looks real good with the hids

 

Go to the group deal section and buy from operatic, good product. I remember all you newbs to this mod, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

As for install go the EAST section and ask around someone will be able to help you.

 

Oh and 3K FTW. I have 8K in my headlights and 3K in the fogs.

 

Jsmith
I'm puzzled on your last pic. Why is it more amber than white? Is it just the fogs or the combo of the two? Are you still set up with the PIAA'S?

 

Hello i'm new to Maxima.org i just install my Headlight on to my Non HID stock headlights, but it work? please help i took the full bumper and the headlight and put the ballast and bulb and it wont work please help thanks you so much.

 

3000K fogs...

 

I replaced the fogs on my 07 to match the factory HID with these, its a very close match.
