I dont know that its an option for the 7th gen since even halogen lights are projector beams. But for those with older cars using standard bulbs, please, please dont buy that silverstar (or equavalent) fake Xenon headlight crap. They are for posurs who wish they had newer, nicer car but cannot afford one. All they do is blind everyone on the road whereas real HID/Xenon is a much softer light on the eyes. Sorry if you are included in this generalization, but thats the way I feel.

 

thanks for share . i got a lot .

 

Thanks Guys,, that makes sense. Now I guess I have to decide if I'm going to convert to HID's. I was thinking about getting the Nissan Fog Light Kit and then determining if I was going to covert those or not,, but now I have even more choices :-)

Thanks,

 

ohh,i like this post ,so interesting and helpful for me .

 

So I just got my car on Saturday and I cant see a darn thing with these halogens! So I went out and bought a 6k 35w kit today at my local HID spot, also got the relay harness as well so I have a lifetime warranty.

I seen where people said in order to install they just turned the wheel and pulled the inner fender well down, now my question is what kind of clips are they? Are they easy to put back or will they always be kind of saggy? Also I went with the 6k kit, does anyone have the 6k kit tell me how they look because I dont want too much blue. If you have pics of the 6ks that would be great also.

 

Hey all

Thinking about ordering from VVME. I have a 2011 S without HID's and want to install them, what exact kit do I need?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Ryan, the kit you will need is a H8(H11) for both your low beams and fog lights. You will need to decide which set-up you want to pay for (Standard or Digital Slim). The 55W & 35W kits have a higher output, but I am not too familiar with these. If you need help with what color temp to go with, here is the scale from VVME's webiste. 6K is good IMO.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but aren't the clips just "push/lock-clips"? You pry it out with a flat head screw driver and then pull it out with your finger. As for reinstall, just push it back in and lock it. There shouldn't be any sagg due to the OEM mount holes.

As for your color temp, I have 8000k HIDs on my H3 and there is a hint of blue. You should be pure white with the 6000k.

 

How long is the shipping normally?

 

Product ships DHL from vvme and it requires a signature. 4 days tops if you can sign for it.

 

I'm buying a kit for my fog lights from ddm tuning, they offer 3 additional things to buy, do I need them for a 2012 Maxima.

 

Is anyone running a 5-6k headlight and 3k fogs? Thinking about running 3k in my fogs or idk If I want 5k top and bottom. If you are running either, could you please post pics! Thanks.

 

check my video out. 3k fog, 6k lowbeam

Anyone here have a pic of 5ks top and bottom? debating between 5ks and 3ks for the fogs. Already running 5k in the headlights.

 

Wondered if anyone has installed the Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra H11's in the Low beams on their Max wanted to see if anyone could tell me what they thought of them/ basically a review thanks I appreciate it

 

I was also thinking of putting a set of these in for my low beams. The reviews on Amazon seem pretty good.

 

i need to by my fogs already

 

Yeah I saw those reviews but figured I'd hear it from someone who has had them in their 7th Gen Maxima I had a 2003 Impala before my Maxima and my Silverstars in that car I had them in for almost 5 years and they were still good even when I traded the car in.

 

Hey Nemo7, is the black part of the bottom of your grill painted or vinyl? Just wondering cause it looks shiny.

 

It's vinyl its temporary until i get my stillen lip painted and the center of the lip will be painted aswell so i can keep this look

 

When you'll be set post your pics up I want to see how it looks.

 

yea no problem many member here have dont it but hopefully im looking at getting it painted within this month i dont want to band up the lip if it continuously rains.

plus im i debate whener to paint the cent gloss black or matte black to match the grill...or maint the grill gloss aswell

 

Nice. How does it hold up BTW? Any problems with it cause I'm thinking of blacking out my roof with vinyl this summer temporarily until I can get it painted.

 

it holds up well i had my roof done but it looked like it didnt belong but if its for a short amount of time your going to have it save your money and wait to painit it but if your not getting it painted for like a year go ahead...
i used the excess from my roof for my bottom bumper only bad part is when i hit big dips out of some drive ways or complexes it scraps off and looks cheap after a while weather wise it hollds great

 

I have my center lip Matte Black so as the grill looks very good!

 

i still cant make up my mind

 

ok, i have a couple questions before i purchase tonight... i have a 2011 maxima S. to get hid headlights i need the hid kit with h11 bulbs?? im asking cause i thought i saw h2s mentioned sonewhere else. also, for those that have the oem fog light kit, is the switch a seperate switch, or is it a replacement for the part that houses the whole headlight/wiper switch?? thanks in advance.

 

Yes, the kit for the S model is an H11 Kit for the low beams.

The S model does not have the switch to turn on the fogs. There is 2 routes you an go on that. Either buy Ebay OEM style Fog Lights that come with the housing, Foglights, wiring and a push button or you can plug buy an actual Nissan OEM kit (a bit more money) since the existing Fog Light wiring is there, just tied back, in this case you would need to order a Combo switch for the steering column which has the turn on for the fogs.

heres a bulb chart and it should come with a swith it goes right nest to your mirror adjusting swithches it allows you to turn your lights on and off

 

so where is a good place to get the actual OEM lights?? I want the combo switch for my lights.

and the auto headlights are just the ones that turn on when its dark correct??

 

^those places or ebay alot come with switches but if you plan on putting HID's in them you have to make sure the lense is glass

 

Yes, that's the link I meant to post

 

k. thanks a bunch!!

 

probably going to be getting the 5000K from DDMTuning.com wanted to see if anyone could tell me where they mounted the ballasts for the low beams? Also what'd you use to mount them

Thanks

 

I was thinking of going with 8k lows and 3k fogs, any one know of that would look good?

 

I'd go with 6K the 8K got old after awhile for me at least it should look good either way

 

tried to order the h11digital slim kit from vve last night, and its out of stock for at least 20 days...

 

Hey I purchased my hid kit and bulbs from this sitehttp://www.blinglightsmotors.com as well as my fog lights.

I too have a maxima and i know for a fact that these lights work well and look great with my car. here is the direct link to the maxima page. http://blinglightsmotors.com/index.p...er_name=maxima
