Thanks!

Now if I order just the low beam kit will my high beams work at all?

installation on the 08 will require the removal of the front bumper and some cutting of the factory wires to reach the wiring provided with the kit. It took me a little less than an hour to install these in my garage. I also had to drill a one inch hole in the plastic cap that goes on the back of the headlamp housing to run the HID lamp wires through. It really is an easy task if you know what you are doing.

The 08 uses a single 9005 bulb on each side for both the hi/lo beam. When you switch to the hi beam, a deflector shield inside the lamp housing moves out of the way for a higher beam pattern. So Yes, it will work.

For a pair of D1S bulbs it is $130 shipped. They are expensive because the igniter is built into the bulb.

So basically the bumper has to come off either way to install them?

2k2 headlights are HID stock, if you want to match the stock headlights get the 4300K fog kit. My local autozone had some blue wedge (194 I think) bulbs in the 'ricer' section for the parking lights that match the HIDs pretty good.

Install is not that hard but if you have not worked on cars/electrical much I don't know if you should tackle it.

Your 2002 Maxima uses D2R for the low beam and H3c for the fogs. If you want them all to match, you can order our 6000k kits for both your low and fogs and we also offer T10 bulbs that would help match in color that goes in your parking light, front and rear side markers, license plate, and the courtesy light (that little light on the inside of front doors that turn on when you open the door.)

to operatic or anybody smarter than me:

My 2K2 Max already has HID headlights I unerstand that, so the kit would be installed using the low beams correct? so it means in simple terms everytime I turn my car on the low beams which now have the kit on will be on all day, no more need to turn the actual headlights on?

No, the kits are to put HIDs on cars that do not have them stock. You could use an HID kit for your fogs and they would match your headlights and put out more light.

The stock maxima HIDs are almost pure white (4300k). If you wanted a bluish tint to the light you could get bulbs with a higher temperature rating to replace the stock bulbs. You could also get a fog kit with the same bulbs so they match.

You would need the 4300k fog light kit to match the factory headlights or The fog light kit + D2R bulbs (to replace the factory bulbs) in whatever temperature you wanted.

oh I see.

So basically I would need an H3C kit with something like 6000k (im assuming they are brighter than my stock HIDS?) for my fogs, and 2 D2R bulbs @ 6000k to match the fogs...correct?

When you install the H3c fog light kit, it would go in where you fog lights would go and be activied by your fog light switch as that is where our relay harness would connect to.

Usually this is caused by one lens being dirtier than the other. You know how over time they get a little yellow film on them (really noticeable on older cars.) This could be the cause of it. If not, you can always swap the bulbs around see if one of the bulbs is preternaturally failing. If it is, we got you covered under warranty partner

If you want them to match as best as possible like in the thread you sent me through PM, then it is usually best to get both the low beams and the fog lights in the same kevlin color. So yes, a pair of D2R bulbs and H3c kit both in 6000k would ensure that they match.

I have to say that operatic was really nice resolving the issue that I had that the 50W kit was 1000K lower in colour than I originally expected, so it did not match the stock HIDs really well, it had a yellow look.

Operatic sent me a pair of replacement 6000K bulbs for free to fix this issue, that's really nice. I installed them today and they are great.

The 50w HID H3 fogs put out so much light that's insane.

Thanks operatic for taking care of this issue. I will do business again w you. I cant wait for my stock D2S to go so I can have a reason to get 6000K bulbs in my main projector eh eh eh.

Yes we do. We just need to know if you used an adapter harness with the Cefiro headlights or if you cut them off to put on the new plug.
