Dave B. tried them on his 2000 and said they will fit. He said they are tight, so it would be easier to remove some clips from the bumper to get more flexibility. But the biggest concern of if there would be room for the HID ballasts is NO MORE. He said they fit down into the open space of the bumper.

Now we just have to convince Dave to loan me one, so I can figure out the wiring. Which shouldn't be a problem.

 

This is great!!
dam its one or the other... the sideskirts or new headlights.
ahhhhh
Roger

 

Wow! Great news!!!

 

Please vote. So I can see what headlamps people think look better. Plus, I'd like my page to move up some, so I don't have to scroll through so many cars before I get to mine.

 

Coolio, finally I can have hi and low beam..hummm anyone wants panasonic kit?

Keep us updated!!

 

Woohoo thats great!

 

When did you say you were going to do the electrical stuff? I'm interested in seeing if they work or not (most likely will, but there's always a slim chance or it not).

Voting... good job!

 

I smell a group buy around the corner..

 

yup... a pretty big one at that.... they are already pretty cheap though

 

I still don't believe Dave can sell them for $180/side, since the AE headlamps were more than that.

If this works out, I'd say it has to be one of the best bang-for-the-buck visual mod you can do. At least for after dark.

 

I agree.... it does sound too good to be true... but if that is the going price, I am not complaining

 

Yea, we'll see how fast they get back ordered.

Hopefully, I'll have mine already.


Who voted for the 2000-01 headlamps? Why? The only thing I don't like about the '02 is that UGLY amber reflector.

 

I agree with you 100%.

 

Hot diggy dog! I am jealous and all get out and happy for you guys at the same time. Definately stickie material!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Are you hinting something?

 

i still don't understand something..
180 dollars is just for the housing?
SO that means i need to buy my own real HIDS? yes/no

I need to buy H4s for the high beams? yes/no

I need turn signal bulbs ? yes/no

180 dollars if for everything.. someone please clarify this.
180 dollars a side for the real HID lighting seems to good to be true.

Roger

 

Going to be an expensive month! 3 orders from Town North Nissan in August. yikes. I keep telling my wife that I'm done modding. Yeah right.

 

$360 + shipping isn't exactly cheap. Cheaper than some of these aftermarket HIDs though. And a much better housing to boot.

 

The housing includes ALL bulbs and the HID ballasts. However, from the female bulb connector to the stock wiring harness is yet to be determined. So far, you will need:
--------------------
1)Housings = $360 + shipping
2)Bulb Connectors = $??? [(2)9005, (2)Special Nissan plugs for turn signals, and some JERRY rigged connector for the HIDs and the daytime running lamp(I think).]
3)Wiring, wire connectors
4)LOTS of fuses! (Hopefully not too many)
5)Possibly a HIGH Wattage harness for less hacking. Any suggestions??? Does this plug into the stock 3-prong female harness or replace it?

I'm still not 100% convinced EVERYTHING for the HIDs is ALL contained on the back of the housing in the pictures. I'm not going to be until they are working in front of my own eyes. It's still up to a lot of LUCK and ingenuity.

 

It might get involving, but if there is a setup that works and we have solid directions, I think many will go for it.

 

Why are there so many sockets? Is the light on the inside either a 9006 or 9005?

Will the corner lights fit with the current one?

 

i'll second that

 

I'll THIRD that

GROUP BUY! GROUP BUY! GROUP BUY!

 

So to beat on a dead horse, 360 includes everything needed except the wiring to hook into the existing factory harness? And for that we are waiting for "someone" to figure out the wiring diagram and make sure its all doable? I would be willing to help out if I can. What do we need to do to get this show on the road. 360 plus a little time and patience plus DaveB gets more business from us...Not a bad deal in my book. Plus I get high and low HID's. What about the fog lamps. I am night blind so this is going to be HUGE for me!

Let me know guys

 

although i don't like the amber in the lamps, i'm still getting a pair of themz light as soon as i get back to the states.. the amber will come off.. eventually..

 

What model is the high beam, still H4? Would the high beams still be brighter that the low beam HID?

 

Let us know dave, I have a post dated check with your name on it!

 

It's not a H4 like stock. It's something that's Nissan unique. From right-to-left on the back side. The right most bulb is the 9005, the middle bulb(black circle) is the HID, and the left side bulbs are the amber turn signal and a white running lamp.

Anybody want to help me track down some dead H4 bulbs and a HIGH Wattage harness for CHEAP?

 

Hey I will help, I pm'd you. Email me and lets get this worked out! (I also spoke with DaveB)

 

Having the electrical schematics for the 2000/2001 and the 2002 side-by-side will aid greatly in determining the fuses, relays and harness/connector upgrades.

Although it will be a lot of time and expense, you may be able to use a dealer contact to get print outs of the diagrams for the different models.

Good luck - this is not a trivial plug-in update, but I think the results will be well worth the effort!

 

There is no way this price can include housing, ballast/starter, and bulbs... maybe 360 per side for this but no way it can all be 360 total. ill bet its 180 per side just for the housings and the hid system is extra. What does dave b have to say?

Adam

 

doesn't this make you wonder how much it actually costs for hid kits?

strut tower bars only cost around 12bux from wholesalers. and a lil less to fabricate.. but cost 45-130 for us consumers.

 

Actually, 15 minutes with a 2002 and a multimeter would be enough. I'm just a little hesitant on "trying" things on someone elses part, because then it would be MY $180 mistake. Maybe I can locate one around here and do a test drive.

I know it's NOT a "trivial plug-in update". I do have a STRONG electrical and even stronger Engineering background, so I know what it should take to do this. I'm just not willing to PERMANETLY modify my car, so a pig-tail harness is the only way I'm willing to do it. If it's not possible that way, I will pass on the knowledge I learned and someone else will have less trouble finding a solution. Others can also use what I find out to use a few wires, fuses, and relays to make it work. I dunno yet.

ADAM,
Dave B. has repeatedly said it's $180 for the part seen in the pictures and that part contains ALL bulbs, a ballast, and I hope anything else necessary for the HIDs to work(ignitors, inverters, etc..) besides a power/ground source. If you don't sell your Panasonic HIDs and I'm successfull, I'd like to drive up to Phoenix and do a side-by-side comparison.

 

Dave B. has located/made plugs for ALL three connectors, therefore LESS splicing and Jerry-Rigging required.

The '02 housing WILL BE SHIPPED on Monday! Don't forget I'm planning on doing MOST of the work over Labor Day weekend. I will post ANY pictures on my website with information as soon as I can.


Anyone know if a HIGH wattage harness for H4's plug into the female headlamp harness?

I need a SECURE way of connecting to the 3-pin H4 plug that the stock harness has. I definitely don't want to hack the stock H4 harness plug, so any ideas would be great! I have one, but it requires two DONOR H4 female plugs and some H4 bulbs working or not.

 

Thats GREAT NEWS!!!! Keep us updated with pix as soon as you get some.

 

When is that u 4 ... r u a canuck or yank?

 

Man after seeing a pic of these things i dont even care how much they are, god damn the look good!!! I gotta have em now. Maybe you should talk to hogan about such a harness. I had a similar harness for my hid's with a plug for the h4 connector with a relay and power supply wire and fuse on it
Otherwise just use those metal male tabs used and solder wires to it to make the harness.
Adam

 

Your funny Adam. You sell your HIDs cause you need the money and now your ready to buy '02s. Do you have any pics of the harness by chance? Thanks.

 

What the H_E_L_L is a "canuck"? A Canadian? I'm not Canadian, so I guess I'm a yank. It's all good though.

 

so when is your labour day? i'm anxious LOL
