I plan to install them Friday. I have install HID's from them on my past two cars. Everything is labeled on the HD Wiring Harness. You really can't screw it up. There are install videos and instructions on their website. The hardest part is going to be removing the bumper and finding a location to mount the ballasts cleanly.
TRS is great but definitely on the expensive side. If you want to drop that much money id go with them.
I'm running alpha hids from here:www.alphahid.com that were 79$ shipped, pretty high quality, ac ballasts 3 year warranty. much higher quality feel in my hand than my old ebay kit, thats for sure.
@mpbclutch33 - would love to see your before / after pics of your setup once done Friday... will definitely use your feedback / pics to determine purchase of my HIDs in the coming weeks.
@maxxing - I like your option presented as well...do you have pics of your install or just your car with the HIDs running to post here to see?
They all have LED DRLs. The S, SV and SL have halogen headlights. The SR and Platinum have LED low beams. I suppose the fog lights and high beams are halogen.
4th halogen all
4.5 halogen all (HID's where making there way these years)
5th halogen all
5.5 HID all
6th halogen, HID optional packages
6.5 halogen, HID optional packages
7th halogen, HID optional packages
7.5 halogen, HID optional packages
8th halogen, no HID, LED on optional packages
Premium head lighting should have been consistently standard on all Maxima's since 02 since that's when they started the move upscale that year.
You can also check out the group deal section and see if there's any good deals there. The buyers also post their opinion on the product and installation there as well, which an help you make your decision.
In terms of the installation, you may end up being frustrated at the fact that it may be a pain in the rear just to access the bulbs. Finding a spot to mount the ballast/ignitor is not too bad. Rest is a simple plug and play.
If you need help with installing the setup, you can find many articles in the previous gen sections as well as checking out youtube.
Well tried to install my TRS kit on Friday and it didn't go so smooth. I dropped the bumper, ran the wires cleanly, mounted the ballasts and went to test it and only the drivers side worked. Triple checked all my connections. Called and Emailed TRS and still waiting to hear back. I will say, I have used them on my last 2 cars and always had issues. I hear everywhere online that they are the best so that is why I keep going back to them, but I think I am done if they can't help me fix the problem. Maybe try Diode Dynamics next. Idk. The baby woke up so I had to abort and put my bumper back on. I was able to install my Opt7 LED H11 5000k Fog Light Bulbs.
16' Maxima SL ...no factory installed HID headlights?
6000k H11 kits from Amazon. Install took about 20 mins each side, plan on getting a little scapped up as it is a little tight. You will need 3 kits 2 just for foglights. Also when it comes to fogs you will need to up your fuse to a 25A from the 20A. Cause it will blow. Any other questions just PM me.

Where was the fuse for the fogs located? And for the install, did you drop the bumber ?or go thru the wheel well?
Do I still need to go thru the wheel well if I wanted to change the turn signals? How about the DRL?
You cant go thru wheel well to get turn signals out, you have to go under the hood. Or take the headlights out completely. Under hood method is tight as all get out... You might want to use a lil kid, that's what I did as there hands are good for tight areas.

I went to there site,but they don't have a list for what fits what car or model,so how did you know the H11 kit was a plug and play,can you show when finished how it fit and what you had to do to fit it?
Check out DDMTUNING.COM. Been running these slim ballasts for years and installed on many friend cars. They have lifetime warranty and even though a ballast will go out every couple years, they have always sent me a replacement ballast.I think the slim ballast kits start at $35. I bought a set of their premium ballasts for a friend's car and they were definitely brighter than the slim ballasts, but twice as expensive.

Would you mind giving me or anyone the number of the kits thru the ddmtuning .com so I or anyone would know which set up to run for low beams only. thanks oh and price.
Hello., I was waiting to get my lights installed in my 2016 Nissan Maxima. I ordered hids for my headlights 5000k and leds for my fog lights. The installation for my headlights was very simple and fog lights too, just that i removed the bumper to access the light bulbs better.
Here is the link where i got them from in case someone may be interested. http://vanquishauto.com/catalogsearc...+nissan+maxima

Fog Lights look great. I am looking into a new Max but I read on here the LED low beams are weak. I had LED low/high beams in my Lincoln and they were amazing. If I can get into the Max I will get the SL and just put the ZXE bulbs in it. I have them in my Escape and they 100 times better than the standard halogens.
Did somebody say there are FOUR (4) bulbs for the fog lamps? Dammit!! I just ordered two and was going to put them in this evening. Guess I need two more?
Made the switch to Enlight Automotive HID kit, all i can say , I should have been did this and Nissan should be ashamed of sending out Maximas with Halogen's. Better shine on the road than Nissan LEDS also, Imo. Followed the video on youtube. It took me about 3 1/2 hours( Was watching the video as i did it ) and i was moving at a slow speed in the dark.
Fog lights are next
Thank Enlight Automotive, your product is dope
Close up, has blueish tint but shines bright white on the road
Big difference with the look, worth the time and price
Without the fogs, i find myself driving without the fogs now
This is how it looks shining on the road, notice no blue tint

Those bad boys are $239 now for low and high beams. Wow! Big jump in price.
Just joined after purchasing my used 2017 Maxima Platinum. I've had my maxima for about six weeks now. It's an awesome car but I have noticed a few thing missing not fixed properly so I'm on the hunt for parts. Anyone know an online parts seller of OEM parts new/used that is reputable?
Has anyone replaced their DRL LED's with the "Switchback's" ? I need the OEM drivers side, one of the LED card's is faulty or broke. So I would like to purchase if anyone has replaced and don'rt have a need for the OEM.
One thing I haven't figured out yet is the cover on the underside of the trunk floor. I went to a local Nissan for the part's and they said it would be $1,214.67 and the whole underside including the truck pan would have to be removed and installed (cut / welded).
I don't think the parts person knows what i mean cause the cover is help on by 4/5 bolts. But he wouldn't accept what I was saying and said it is what he told me.
Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the radio reception? My car has poor reception when driving around trees and just dies when I pull in the garage. It's currently in HD mode, much worse if not in HD.
