Retrofitting headlights with Maxima Projectors (HIDS THE LEGALWAY)

[oakrdrs187]

Just read this old dead thread for the first time. IMO, huge fail for doing a nice projector retrofit and running 30000k.

Lol at the newbs!

There's a few places that would retro for you. It will cost you a pretty penny though. Im sure there is someone/a company in your region that will do it, and you could watch.

F that lol. I don't blame you for wanting to retrofit then lol. What about junk yards? They prob wouldn't charge $400 ea. and you could prob talk them down from whatever they're charging. Just tryin to help. But if in the end retro fitting is less costly then go for it

I can't even find a Junkyard that has a 9gen in it I always fin 8gens .. But a retrofit I think would be cheaper u just have to buy the projectors and hardware and I think that would be like $150-$300 maybe

Hows the cut off on the gts with hid?

It will also be the way to get the most output. The oem 9G projector housings are designed for halogen bulbs whereas a retrofit uses projectors designed for HID.

Shitty, It has a flare up on each side of the cut off and it looks rather messy. The funny thing is he used a quality projector (the Maxima uses a E55 Bi-X) and he probably put some shitty quality bulb in it, but hey he did the work and did a pretty good job with it.

I'll be do mine sometimes next month or so, I have 2 2011 outlander sport projectors+ bulb and hid kit

The only question I would have about this is when mounting the projector, how do you know your mounting it straight?

When you mount it, make sure to put the heads on the car and turn them on. Once you see your rotation is straight and what not, then you tighten everything up.

anyone have any pics of how the 9g looks retrofitted?
