I'd go with either BMW, Audi, or S2000 projectors. I've never seen maxima projectors so I couldn't tell you much about them. I like the S2000 the best. IMO, they have the sharpest cut off, the beam is very deep, and the girth of the beam owns. When I drive on the freeway, I light up 2 lanes to my left AND right. If you don't get good depth, you'll feel like you're out-driving your headlights at high speeds.

The bottom picture is HID in A6 projectors. Notice the rather sharp cut off.

I'm really jealous, I don't have money for a retrofitted. Still driving with that 9005 conversion btw, is it an easy DIY or have to be prof. installed? I think I've seen some1 in this board do couple of these to his 6th Gen accord.

Here is what my cutoff looks like

My light output is similiar to this since its E39 DOT spec. I had TT Ecodes but didn't like the weird beam pattern.

Maxima HID doesn't have projectors. Unless the new ones do.
