Just got my Max back from body shop and need help....

with some questions about the headlight/lamp housing. They replaced my left headlamp(the whole unit) and it looks awesome. If you've looked at the haze that is on most 2K Maxima headlamps you know whaT I mean. The new housing looks AWESOME...clear as day and no haze at all...th old housing on right that didnt get replaced? Well let's just say the word shieeeeeet comes to mind

I want to get a new housing for the right side but had a few questions...

1) Where can I get one? Ive searched the net and can only find 2002 HID's

2)How difficult are they to install? I usually have crappy luck doing this sort of stuff but if it isnt too difficult or involved a lot I'm game.


How much should I expect to pay? The price on my bodyshop invoice was 136.55 with a part # of 26075-2Y905. I also noticed these numbers on the housing units. The new one has K2109 on it and the original K0405 on it...any meaning to these #'s?


Got a new hood and front fascia...looks awesome as my original hood and front bumper were pitted and stone chipped like crazy....body shop did an awesome job.

Kelly Nissan in Beverly MA if anyone in the area is needing work done on their Max

Thanks!

indeed, wassup with hazy headlights? The haze looks like the dirt on the outside, but you can't wash it off with your regular car washing suds. Hell no, I would not spend 600 on new lights just because one of them looks a bit more hazy.

i thought you're getting HIDs..130 is not bad, but still, those are $ thrown away, your new one will eventually fade, anyway
