I'm looking for some good aftermarket headlights, what sites or places or good to buy stuff for the car? I need seat covers in badge, pedals and more.

If they're Aftermarket Replacements that are made to oem specs then you can find them on sites like ebay and amazon. Search for the DEPO brand.

If you're looking for aftermarket headlights that "look" cool then the truth behind them is that they're gonna suck. The out put is crap on those, especially on those "projector" headlights.

Only trust aftermarket brands that make things to meet or match factory specifications. The mantra is usually "buy cheap aftermarket, buy twice"

What year max do you have? Auto/Manual? Factory Leather/Cloth?

As far as headlights go, NoLimitz has it right. They all suck. If you want fancy headlights then read up on the forum on how to mod your own. angel eyes and projectors can be modded in with a little work. Of course if you have a 00/01 max and want the 02/03 headlights, the find OEM used or Depo brand OEM replacements. For pedals, the 350z pedals seem to be popular and can be had on Amazon. There are also many aftermarket manufacturers of custom seat covers, leather and otherwise. For that I'd just use the Google.

And I'll start looking into modding my headlights since what you're telling me is after market sucks.

i painted mine and took out the blinker that alone changed the whole look of the car. the only thing that would make these lights better is to add projectors.

I back up what others have said 100%. Buying aftermarket lights means you're gonna get a crap product made in Taiwan made out of crap materials and with horrible output. I tried it when I very first got my Max, and I'm still missing that $200 to this day, I knew something was too good to be true there.

Just find some OEM 5.5 Gen lights or the DEPO ones and from there you can do what you want with them, mod them, etc. But that's pretty much where you should start.

After my experiment with the cheap aftermarkets I had my boy put together these nice modded 5.5 gens with clear SAE glass and blacked out background to match my tails, my boy did em for me and he's a Honda guy so I'm ashamed to have asked his help but he did an awesome job.



I put 5K HID's in mine, and you can basically put whatever you want in there far as that goes when you get your lights. I also have halo rings put in but I never connected them, and don't want to in trying to keep it like a Max, and anyway the halos still look real nice even not connected when the lights are on.

100% way to go = modded 5.5 gen lights. Stay away from aftermarket crap and esp. sites like Carid.com that pop up as the very first results on google.

What's the cost of that and who don't turn too to do that, I know a couple body guys but I don't know if they'll be able to do this.

if you like to tinker, get a new TYC/DEPO AE style headlights and spend another $225 for HID projectors and HID kits and you get yourself a good looking and high performance ligthing system that is better than even the OEM 02-03.

Am I wrong or is the picture reversed on this 2000 Maxima Depo headlight?

bump, let's figure this out that's a good price

D.Stillwell

Hm, I'm pretty sure that picture is fine. It's just the left (passenger side) headlight.



Looks just like this one.

ColdRain

haha, so I came here because I was trying to figure out how come DEPO headlights were reversed on amazon. Apparently you guys are out of clue as well. Anyone have ordered this??? I only need driver side headlights.

Reversed? Do you have a link?

ColdRain

if you click the Amazon link mentioned above, you'll see it says driver side headlight but picture is passenger side.

Im guessing the poster got them backwards when he set the page up?
What difference does it make?

ColdRain

difference is that, i need only one side and If I order based on driver side picture but if description says passenger side, do I want that hassle of returning? Plus above link is not the only page, I've found EVERY Depo headlight with wrong description/pic...

Bought some Amazon specials, been on my car for 2 months and no issues.

Buy according to description. Half the sh*t I order on amazon for the Max has the wrong picture. Motor Mounts, bushings, gaskets...

you are over thinking this.

ColdRain

alright, thats exactly what I wanted to know whether someone has experienced such a scenario with Amazon. Thanks.
