Hi,

I am trying to set up for a group buy for the Hella hid kits. The kit consists of two Brand new Hella ballasts, and two brand new Philips D2S or D2R bulb depending on your application. The price will be around 300-350 each kits. The price may go down a little, depending on how many people are interested.

Please note that I get all my brand new Hella parts diretly from Germany. I have paper to prove that those are not stolen. Plus how can someone steal several brand new Hella kits. =)

Anyways. its good to upgrade for the non-xenon Nissan.

Please email any question to andivic@hotmail.com

Thank you.

 

what k ???i.e. 7000k or what

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I only have OEM HID bulbs. (4300K). I am selling genuine Philips parts. Everything above 6000k are not made by Philips. Plus those 6000K bulbs are illegal to sell or to use in US or in Euro, only in some Asian countries.

Andy

 

illegal to sell?? uhh - there are like thousands of people that have purple and blue HIDs

 

I know what you are saying, but only 4300K is the Dot approved HID. You might as well check with your local DMV or police department to make sure if you can have those purple or blue hid. I have seen many people getting pulled over in NYC a lot for their colorful aftermarket HID. =)

 

I'm in Philly and I haven't got bothered by cop with my 6000k purple HID's but I know exactly what your saying........2k2 Maxima HID's are also 4300k aren't they??

 

Yes 2k2 used Philips D2R bulb, They are 4300K. Its good that the cop didn't bother you.

Also one advantage of using stock 4300k HID bulbs is that if you do that right installation, then the optics will come out really nice. Its just like seeing an bmw or audi coming toward you. You see their light shifting from blue to purple to bright white right ?

Also I also have brand new Philips or Osram bulb, they are like 45 each. You can buy them from me for spare. I know its gonna take a long time before the bulb went wrong. You know how expensive that it is to buy a bulb from any Dealer right ?

Andy

 

Wait I don't understand. Is this a group deal for people with OEM Hid's or people that have Aftermarket Hid's. I need a Hid set for 9006 bulbs. Also you sell just the bulbs for $45, I need Osram in 9006.

 

Ok let me get this clear. I am hoping to start a group buy for brand new Hella kits with brand new Philips or Osram bulbs. Of course those kits are for the older generation. Pre-2002 Any model.

My goal is to have at least 10, this way we can make each kit below 300 plus shipping. This you get brand new Hella kit for the used price.

I dont have aftermarket HID. I only have stock OEM HID bulbs. They are 4300 K. Like the one you have for the 2k2 maxima. All I can do is to do the halogen bulb rebase.

So far I have done 9006 and H7 halogen bulbs.

Please check the link below, then you will know what i mean.

Please feel free to email me any question to andivic@hotmail.com

Thanks again for looking

 

Very interested....I'm also in NY so I would pick it up and save on shipping. 9004

 

Sure I am in Flushing NY 11358. Is it close to where you live ?

Does your halogen bulb use 9004 base ? Are you planning to retro any OEM HID relector or projector ? or you will just use your existing Maxima housing ?

Personally I like the retrofitting the HID projector. That's what I did for my SVX. Have you seen those Audi or BMW coming toward you ? Their light shifting from purple to blue to bright white right ? That's what I have now. Its all about the optics.

For those Lexus GS400 or IS300, even the 2k2 Maxima with HID reflector. Their color will not shift from different angle. If you are just using the stock reflector or OEM HID reflector, then you will not have the color shifting effect.

I hope this concept help.

Andy (andivic@hotmail.com)

 

I'm in Queens too.

I will be using the stock housing and the bulb type is 9004.

 

glare city with stock 9004 set up.

 

I'm part of glare city with my 3rd gen and my 7500k HID kit

 

Under 300 Will you have it in size 9004? If not and you can get a H4 kit for under 300, I'll get cefiro lights to house the h4 kit Anyway you can get ultinon bulbs with these kits, if so how much?

 

Well Normally I would charge 30 dollars more for 9004 Adaption, but I can do it for you for free as an introductory rate.

After that I would charge other people to do the adaption.

You can contact me via email, and we can discuss the detail over.

Andy

 

Please post details about the 9004 kits? Lots of 4th generation maxima guys will want this. I'd love to order a kit from you if you can show you can come through.

 

Andy,

There is no one that really offers a projection housing for our vehicles (fourth genereation and younger). What can we do, if you can find a projection alternative (that keeps the high beam capabilities, like a dual projector: 1 for low beam 1 for high beam) then you have yourself 1 more dude

 

So how is the group Buy doing. I might need a set in 9006. But how much and how does the oem 4300K look like. I wanna see some pics. I have 6000k in my headlights and want a set for my fogs.

 

I will be more than happy to do the 9004 kits. What year is the 4th generation ? from 95-99 ?

Anyways I need to find a volunteer for me to test and see how the beam patter will look like. Anyone from the Maxima. org live near Flushing, NY 11358 ?

I would charge the first person to do the test with me for 350 including all the parts and labor. All that person gotta do is meet me up first, and I will take out your two headlights and start the modification asap and hopefully have it done in two days. Then i am going to install everything back for you, including building a relay harness with fuse and fuse holder etc. for you. Pretty straight forward right ?

Please note that this will be the one time promotional offer.

email me if you are interested. andivic@hotmail.com

Andy

 

For the Dual projectors set up. Let me ask you something. How much do you think you are willing to spend for those including all the HID hardware ?

Let's say my Brand new HID kit is 300.

You can probably find Hella 90mm Projectors with Hella driving lights for about 240.

http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/hella-90mm/

Please see all the information you need for the dual set up.

Do you think yourself as a mechanically and artistic person ? If you do, then you will probably save yourself couple hundred on the labor.

Still interested in getting those dual setup ??

 

Hi,

If my memory serves me correctly. the Maxima fog use H3 halogen right ?

I am not sure if you can do the H3 adaption without cutting your fog housing, but i am sure its doable, cuz I did the fog for my friend's WRX. The process is long and painful. Basically I designed another bracket to hold the HID bulbs, and that bracket can be secure to the H3 housing tightly. Do you get the picture ?

Anyways. I am looking to sell each brand new pair of Hella ballats with bulbs for 300, but there is more people, let's say more than 10, then I am sure the price can go lower than that.

Please send email to andivic@hotmail.com if you have any more question regarding the HID kits.

Andy

 

So how many ppl are in the Group Buy now. Is there a list started yet?

 

I have got like 7 people contact me these days. Non of them have a confirm status. I think 300 for a pair of brand new Hella ballasts with two HID bulbs is a good deal. I don't know why people are hesitaging about ? If they don't trust me or my merchandise, then I welcome anyone to see it in person.

Hehe.......I guess its not easy to bring a good deal to Maxima. org =)

Anyways.........First 3 order gets 10% off. Which is 270 plus shipping. I hope this help =).

This is what a complete Hella kit would look like.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/andivic/6453.jpg



I also have the Brand new Hella Bi-xenon projectors. They have low and high beam.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/andivic/5031.JPG

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/andivic/5032.JPG

They are about 250 online or on ebay......First three order will be 220 plus shipping.

andivic@hotmail.com

 

Does that $270 price include the 9006 adaption? Also you think I can use the projectors w/ the hi-lo on my fogs, somehow modify it to work w/ hi-lo beam

 

Most people on this site need a picture to go with a price. I guess once your first max owner buys an post pics, more will sell.

Those projectures do look nice tho...

 

Hey the 270 deal don't include 9006 adaption. I need to get to bulbs and modify with dremel. Plus some eproxy...it would be 30 dollars more.

Why don't you try to do it yourself ? its fairly simple. I can go through it step by step with you. Well I am selling those at the price way below market retail. That's why you gotta do some DIY work =).

For the bi-xenon projector question. Of course you can secure it behind your stock fog lights. when the power is on, then it would just function as the low beam. For the high beam, you have to connect another two existing wires of the little motor to another switch. this way when you turn that switch on, you will be able to make the shielding larger, then you have the high beam.

Andy

 

I guess that's the only way to commit this group buy.

Andy

 

I am imagining quite a heafty hunk of change in order to get a dual projector set up. Let's say I only do a single... How would I keep the high beam function? This is my only concern. The HID kits w/ servos which keep the lo/hi function have not done too well yet.

This is a great price, I'm not disputing this

I went there and in this chart:

So I guess options 1,3,and 5 are out of the question. I do see myself as an artistic person, but as far as putting down on paper, no.. unfortunately not. I will be a guinea pig and try this out w/ you. Here is what I'm thinking. Something like the A4/S4 with a projector low beam, and a normal halogen high beam OR the dual set up for both low and high beam projectors. The HIGH beams I don't care to be HID, b/c I doubt that'll be used much. My concern in VA is the fact that if you do not have high beams, you cannot pass inspection. Also, I'm sure there are different wiring harnesses that will be needed/modified so that lo/high beams will be separated instead of single like the 9004.

I understand that someone had offered to modify the housings before and do this, but the cost ratio was pretty high (somewhere around the 1K mark) I am HOPING this isn't the case again. So to answer your question, I know that MANY people are ITCHING to get a dual projector set up for the max, so that we can get low/high beam capabilites w/o suffering any issues. After we get a sucessful kit going, there will be many to follow.

What are your opinions?

 

If you only use the normal projector set up, then you will not have high beam unless if you put another high beam reflector/projector next to the low beam projector.

The cheapest and easiest way to modify Maxima headlight to accept HID will be modifying HID bulbs with 9004 base part. Under the finished 9004 HID bulb, place another H1 or H7, to make it work as high beam. This may require some shielding to make it look OEM. Do you get the picture ?

Another assumption will be drill a whole on the bottom of the Max headlight, place a H3, H1, or H7 to it, use silicon around the bulb as weather-proofing as well as securing method. So the halogen bulb will lie perpendicularly with the HID 9004 bulb. Do you get this picture too ?

Please check this web site
http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/
it has all the information you need to know in order to have a perfect HID retrofitting job.

Its my opinion that Maxima won't look good with single projector or dual projectors set up, but then that's just my opinion.

I am hoping to work with someone from the Maxima. org to develop the best way of HID retrofitting. I just need a volunteer to come to work with me to solve the high beam issue. You know its very easy to adapt the HID bulb with 9004 base part, but the hard part is to get the right focus for the high beam to work perfectly.

Anyways.......i hope i hear some more information from you guys.

Andy

 

Another option Andy is like the Acura CL/TL. They do not have projectors in the housing, but the low beam and high beam are still separate. I believe that the only way for us to solve this low/high problem is to separate the bulb.


OR

We could do what BMW is doing: a Bixenon bulb which includes both low and high in 1 bulb (w/o servos). The inner housing is used for DRL's (daytime running lights).

I was thinking of buying new oem housings to play around w/ (so that I could keep my car running on the street). Let me know what you think. I think the best bet would be the acura set up myself, but projectors seemed TOO easy

-Fnny

 

Fnny,

That might be the only way, but i am sure its gonna cost at least 500 and up just for the parts. Of course i am talking about legal stuff. I don't think any member here would be willing to spend that much money just for the "parts".

Anyways not to be offended to the forum, but HID is something more advance than halogen lighting. You gotta pay the right amount and spend time to get the best result.

Does anybody know what the retail price is for single HID bulb ?

 

I agree 100%.
The bulbs are expensive, but I don't know how much. Ok let's assume that this could potentially turn into a group deal. What materials are needed and what needs to be done Andy?

-Arlan

 

You should post this offer in the North East forum. There are a lot of people in the NYC area there.

ZuM

 

Thanks Zum,

I will try it tonite. I hope North East forum are more supportive. Thanks for the advice. You will get special discount if you want to get a complete Hella kit from me =).

Andy

 

Arlan,

You need to have a tool set, also a dremal set, some 12 gauges wire and wire connectors, and a relay, fuse holder, some 20 A and up fuses. Oh yeah some clear high temperature silicon too.

Its better if you run the power like this
http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/andivic/6540.jpg
its better and recommended for your battery and alternator, I don't recommend you to connect the positive and negative directly to the ballasts.

For the relay wiring set up. The ballasts use power directly from the battery, you are just using your headlight switch as a switch to turn the power of relay on. Do you get the idea ?

That's about it.

Andy

 

Guys and girls,

Please check this out.

Its a video file of a WRX spinning in the snow ground during the week of snow storm in Flushing NY.

http://www.subarusvx.org/vids/Cap0002.mpg

I did the four HID installed for the WRX. Let me know how you guys like it

Andy

 

I'm in the area but I'm not willing to have my headlights pulled out for two days. =P I do all my driving at night. It would be a huge problem for me. =P I'm sure there are guys in the area that have two cars and wouldn't have a problem with it.
