I had to modify the harness, but it was easy. I just chopped off the stock ones and crimped on some $2 connectors from Radio Shack. Its only 2 wires, so its not too complicated.

I couldn't find anything about the maxima, but i'm willing to bet that it's auto leveling too.

Do your headlights have a more white with a hint of blue look (HID)? or yellowish (halogen/non HID)?

Stock is a 4300K D2S bulb. You can tell if its HID by the way the lights turn on. If they flicker when you start them and slowly change color as they "warm up", you have HID.
