If it is a conversion kit then it is just plug and pray. All you really need to worry about if where to mount the ballasts.

You could try mounting it near the headlight ballast. Or Pm members who have HID fogs and ask them where they mounted theirs. Maxima Polak is one.

I would say go for it....It looks good and does improve with visability....I think i got my Dad covinced to get it for the foglights in the new Altima we got since it came with stock HID headlights.

Only way lens would crack is from road debris. Mine hasn't cracked yet and I've been using over a year.

Ammi, you have an 00/01 which have plastic lenses. The 02/03 have glass lenses so they crack.
