steps:

1. get your money back or sell the Maxima HID's
2. Buy a Phillips kit or some kit with D2S bulbs on a 9006 base, made to go into 9006 projector housings.

I have the maxima hids in my teg. There is a ring on the teg headlights held on by 3 screws remove them insert the maxima bulbs and screw it back in. They look alright but arent exactly bright out on the road, but I got mine for cheap, so I am happy with them. No other tegs have them here. E-mail me if you got more Q's

They don't light up the road well because the Maxima utilizes D2R bulbs for reflector housing. If he has an Integra with projectors he needs D2S bulbs. Like it was said. Buy a Phillips kit and sell the Maxima H.I.D.

As a warning, be expected to be automatically faulted for any wrecks you may have at night with these lights installed. I've spoken with Phillips engineers that designed these lights, and if your car was not designed for HID, then the reflector geometry is such that you will blind oncoming drivers with a retrofit, and be completely liable. Who knows, this might be worth it for you....

Blinding oncoming drivers shouldnt be a problem if you adjust your headlights properly...
