ddmtuning.com sell hids and ballast.

 

Cool deal. I should have them working by the next week since it will take a while to get them due to shipping.

 

Shoulda gone with the EDM's! Beam pattern is correct for driving in the US and they're plug n play

 

I woulda but couldn't find any so I just got mine with the S2K retrofits, which has an amazing cutoff nd is RHD friendly. Correct pattern . The plug nd play part does sound good tho. These lights were more of a problem to get them to work than I imagined.

 

I'm ready to order the ballast for my passenger side light, but I'm wondering if I should buy a new pair or just buy 1 ballast. Also, would I need to buy the adaptor cables for the D2S/D2R retrofits?

EDIT: Anyone know where I can find JDM STi v7 Ballast? They are by Ichikoh. I'd rather stick with the stock since the wiring is setup for those type of ballast.

 

bumpity bump.

 

Alright, so the '03 Nissan Maxima and JDM v7 STi Ballast are the exact same thing! It worked like a charm. I bought these instead of looking for some v7 Ballast, and glad I did. Now, there is a problem with the cutoff. The right projector is aimed upwards, and it creates what looks like a blur of the left projector. Anyone know how to adjust/aim the projectors? Or know of a DIY for that? Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

 

THere are two screws that you adjust by. Pic of the head light back?

 

Will take one tomorrow. Hopefully I can get them lined up because they look fugly with one aimed so high.

 

So this is what the back looks like. I don't see the 2 screws, but maybe someone else does? Anyone else that has the JDM STi v7 headlights that can possibly help? Thanks.

 

if you look at both pictures, you'll see the red wire tube wrap thing next to the projector cap(with the orange warning label) there is a 6side nut that you turn clock wise or counter clock wise to adjust it. that is the adjuster nut

 

Mmm ok. I'll try it out now since it's dark and easier to work with. Hoping it works. Thanks!

 

forsure bro let me know if you need help with anything else

 

Alright, so I got them to adjust and it actually took a while. I would turn the screws by hand and thought it wasn't doing it, but after removing the cap i realized the lights moved when i turned it so I was able to lower it quite a bit. Now I have one more question. Anyone know how far apart the cutoff/rise should be or if it should be in the same general location? I'll be adjusting again tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the help everyone. Especially xhengmanx.

 

blind everyone it's the cool thing to do!
