Hey guys newbie here.. Just picked up my 1st Maxima 2010 White with everything except Nav. Out here in Canada you cant find much. But i have a few questions since i couldn't get a clear answer by searching.

1) Installing HID Fogs do you need a relay for them to fire up or its just plug and play? its not clear searching the forum.

2) That piece next to the Fogs i've seen some cars with a nice LED insert in them. I can't seen to find the ones in the pics (like the SV Ghozt has)

3) Seen some grilles on Amazon which one or quality is the best. I want it black.

Thanks guys a appreciate it.

 

Bump - I'm also interested in the LED strip next to the fogs that are used as DRL's.

 

ive been seeing a couple photos of different cars with them.. but nobody is sharing where to get the part or how to get it done.... i dont mind buying them off someone. or the 4 piece grills that covers these 2 small spaces also.

 

I'd like to add them as a day time running lamp. There seem to be a lot of threads discussing DRL's, but no one has actually talked about how to add an LED strip that would become a de-facto DRL's.

 

I've seen it on member Ghozt car .. Would be nice to share how it's done .. Or where it can be purchased

I believe the ones on Ghozt's car are no longer made anymore, if I recall correctly. I think they were purchased from exledusa or something like that...

 

Correct, his are no longer in production and he got them from VLED.com

 

so currently there are no other options ?

 

1. i installed HID fogs, the kit comes with the bulb and a ballast, thats all i needed and it looks great

2. carID has some DRL's you may like http://www.carid.com/2013-nissan-max...unning-lights/

 

The hid kit is plug n play easy stuff.

As for the led strip next to the fog light. What I did was buy a led strip from pep boys... And I then wired it to one of my fuses so it comes on and off whenever I turn me car on or off. It's really easy to do hardest part was prolly mounting it just get a nice set of washers to hold it up.

 

So where can we get HIDs from or where would you recommend ?

 

eBay can get a kit for like $40 and install yourself it's plug n play. Insted of paying a shop almost $200 for the same lights you would buy online. You just have to know the bulb size and make sure it's 35watts

 

Don't really know how to post picture just let me know if you guys and girls see it. I got my led strip off of eBay it's switchback style. Had it in since August so far so good

 

I have HIDs on mine .. 6000k .. Waiting on my 6000k D2S for headlight to arrive ..

Full led interior also .. All take pics next week after I got headlights done

For LED guys show us a close up on the install and a few pics how to .. We're asking because we don't know

 

The easiest and best way to go about doing the led would be to buy a drl relay harness it's really easy to install. I'm doing an install on my car this weekend. I'll take pictures for you.

Also these led lights I just bought because I'm upgrading mines.

Install is pretty straight forward. You connect the harness to your battery, ground it. Connect to the drl, connect wire to head light for reducing beam. Ur the relay harness will trigger the drl to turn on. Once it picks up 12v

 

Here's a video you can use for references if you buy the harness:

 

Perfect ! Thanks
