just wanted to know if anyone had some tips before I installed my maxima hids in my G2 teg with JDM headlights. Yes there legit, got it at the junkyard.

 

first put on gloves because those thing are hot.lol j/k usually what I did was use the housing off my H4 bulb and apoxyed it to the new hid bulb.

 

but how does the wiring go? Just power and ground?

Yes but you need them to work in conjunction with your headlight switch. You can either make a harness which costs about 20 bucks in radio shack stuff or you can wire them directly to your halogen wiring. But yes, there is a ground and a positive for them, just like any 12v device.

 

I believe the maxima uses refraction rather than projection for their HID lamps. Do you know if they are suitable for projectors?

 

They will still work but the output will be crappier. Some people scrape the shielding material off of the glass but I think it's kinda sketchy doing that.

 

I would love to see pics of the job and the finished product!

 

Before you can even get the capsules into your integra housings you will need to get 9006 adapter rings and do some dremeling. I'm not even sure if DA's use 9006 for low-beam but if they do you will need them.

 

again I have JDM headlights which means I have H4H bulbs. I know H4 will work but anyway...... I guess imma have to wait and see when I install these. I will take pics and do a quick write up. I maybe getting my pager alarm soon than I thought, possibly tomorrow. Once I finish my alarm I will install the HIDs.

 

sorry for un-intending hijacking.. but is there a way to Install HID lamps on H3 projectors..?

 

its all about the retrofitting.....

I know I will be able to retrofit the hids in my car, I just wanted to know a few things to look out for before I install them, like if I possibly need a relay?

 

i believe its possible, but from what i have heard, H3 is probably the worst bulb type to attempt a xenon retrofit into, the beam pattern will be horrible.

 

make a relay. its cheap and it can save you money down the road. running a ballast of the stock wiring isnt the best idea. my g2 had some string thin wires upon start up my passenger side would flicker. added relay and everything has been a okay. in the process of retrofitting some bixenons into my 1pc headlight

 

key word

A lot of people run their HID kits off of the stock wiring without problems. If you care about doing things the right way you would use a relay.
