eBAY or your Nissan stealership

 

[Ja Pimp It]

Ebay does have any already checked there and i havent ever seen any on there does anyone have any ideal how much the dealership is ?

 

[robert8233]

my dealer charges 700 a side. That includes the hid's and the head lamp houseing

 

[PyxLax]

Thats so much money for hid. Just get the McCulloch's from the vendor section. I got them for 310 shipped and they're great.

 

[coolcourt]

will they fit the 05

You could equip four cars with HID's at that price.

You will pay for OEM, especially at a dealer Those "kits" will never compare to the performance of OEM xenon.

And that is why I am think of geting thembut 1400 I think is too much for lights. When my tax money comes in I might be tempted.

Well that may be true, but with $1400 I can put HID in my lowbeam, highbeam, and fog lights with $200 to spare

Yeah at the cost of being illegal & quite possibly hazardous to yourself & other drivers .. and that would be way overkill anyways bro, IF one were to do that

screw the dealer and all the aftermarket kits

dealer cost are too high and the aftermarket kits most of the time they put out a shit load of glare

if you want the best way out look into a HID retro fit

cheaper and make sure you can find someone that can do it..or go to

www.hidforum.com

you can find various online site that do retros and sell the equipment to make it all work anyways hope that helps

Just go aftermarket and save all the money or keep looking on the For Sale section here for someone who might be interested in swapping them out :dunno:

suck it up and get an aftermarket kit. True the housings for xenon equipped are different than non-xenon, but the kits are designed with this in mind. The mcullouch kit is great and the beam pattern will never be as good as OEM, but for 1100 dollars less, it is a great bargain. Your visibility at night will be so much better over the stock halogens. You can also adjust the aiming to compensate for the poor patterns. kits in the low 4000K range are closest to stock. However 6000K gives it a nice "bmw" look.

 

[PyxLax]

I went with the 6000k but if I were to do it again, I would have went with 4300k or whatever is in between 4300k and 6000k. I heard that the lower the Kelvin the more lumens output and thats basically what you want, more light. Does anybody know if thats true?

 

[Jaystarzz]

I heard that the lower the Kelvin the more lumens output and thats basically what you want, more light. Does anybody know if thats true?

Yes thats absolutely true, the higher up the K scale you go, the less lumen output you will get

 

[panteedropper]

6000K HID's will give off about 2800 lumens of output, 5000K will give off about 3200 lumens.

 

[justkickin]

So where does one get the McCulloch kit? Also, are these kits illegal in Canada as well?

 

[Groggy23]

I saw some philips stage 2's for like 400 bucks on ebay. A little pricey but I'm sure they are worth it?

 

[panteedropper]

you can get your hands on a mccullouch kit for about 300 bucks on ebay. Type in "HELLA HID XENON"

I don't know if they're illegal in canada, but you will pass the high beam test.
