I ordered Umnitza DDE Lightning Angel Eyes on 1-28-04 and the big install night was 2-10-04. Since I cleared my HIDs the same night, it was quite a long process (around 6 hours work!)

Step 1: Remove the headlight. Two bolts (or Torx) must be removed from the top of the light. When removing the headlight, pay close attention to the outer edge. This metal pin can do some ugly damage if you're not careful. When you're done, it looks like something straight outta Jersey:housecor2001's 2003 Nissan Maximahousecor2001's 2003 Nissan Maxima

Step 2: Time to soften the seals on the headlight. 250 for about 15 minutes does the trick. Be sure to use a cookie sheet. Man, this just doesn't look right...

Honey, the headlight is done!

Step 3: Use 90-Second epoxy to attach the rings to the headlight.

Step 4: OPTIONALI purchased the lens to clear the blinker from Home Depot in the outdoor lighting section for 7 bucks. It's a little too large, so a Dremel is required to cut it down to size.

Step 5:Return headlight to the oven @ 250 for 15 mins. to soften seals.

Step 6:Use channel locks to assure a tight seal after re-heating in the oven.

Hot out of the oven and looking fresh. Okay, I clearly need to cut back on the lame jokes.

Step 7::Wire it up. Here are the completed battery connections. Yellow on the left is Power. The black box behind battery is the relay. The connections to the DDE's are a simple pair of plugs. And yes, my engine is filthy. It's on the list.

My other question is: After the fire, the rear deack lid on my car is discolored. The same is true with the headliner. I am wondering if it is a better idea to recover the headliner and rear deck lid with suede or buy stock headliner and rear deck lid?

I have a 2002 6-speed maxima. I have done some mods to my car but am working on more. When I installed my first system the trunk caught on fire. I've fixed everything except the stock system since I don't use it. Trunk rattles a lot with the sub in the car and the front makes a noise when I turn the car. If you have any suggestions for me let me know. If you want to look at my car and suggest any mods performance or otherwise, feel free to comment also.
