cant search...2k4 hid's into 2k maxima..?

i get some error whenever i search

i hear the 2k3/2k2 hid's are basically bolt-on
but are the 2k4 hid's harder? would it be a full out retro fit?
thanks

The 2k2-3 HIDs can go right in, they are pretty much the same size as the 2k1-2 headlilghts, though you have to put in a new wiring harness.

As far as the 2k4 lights, I tend to doubt it...the 2k4 lights are a completely different size and shape. You would pretty much have to put on the entire front end of a 2k4 max to put their lights in.....

1. you get an error cause you have to be a donating member to search.
2. there is NO way you can use the 04 headlights. thats just common sense. have you not seen one???


3. dont change the whole front end. the 04 front end is the nastiest part

if you are talking about the inside of the 2k4 maxima headlights, im sure it can be done - just a lot of time and retrofitting. BTW,with retrofitting and how much free time you have, you better have an extra pair of headlights. I heard of people putting in Audi TT projectors in headlights (different types of cars) and taking a month to complete the project.

If you're trying to do a retrofit, read every post you can at hidforum.com... The 5th gen housings are pretty big, so I bet you could fit a hella bi-xenon in there without too much trouble. People who know what they're doing can complete a retrofit in a day or two.
