Cheap headlights for retrofit

I found these:

I think they would be good "blanks" for retrofitting projectors. If you **** them up, you will not have to pay arm and a leg for OEM replacement.

and HID (high intensity discharge) lighting system are no recommended to be used with these headlights according to the manufacturer.

that mean you can't use them. our factory headlights are hid/xenon.

hm.... some of us do have halogens....

besides that, you can actually use those because the wiring is basically the same.

In this case you should realize that if you drill 3" hole in your low beam reflector it doesn't matter anymore whether it was recommended for xenon or not.

well, if u are looking for a sedan retrofit.

you might as well buy the non xenon ones from nissan. Should be all the same anyways since you are going to take out the xenon and rewire the harness.

Its like 500 for both headlights brand new oem.
'
I got mine from performance nissan. ask for Jason or Tony

seems ok to me i guess

if anyone wants... I have a set of oem hid headlights that I'm selling. It's for a coupe though. I'm looking to get 200 for both shipped.

I was going to retrofit them but I decided to just upgrade to 06 lights.

One of the headlights have already been baked and taken apart but nothing else. 1 tab broken. the other headlight is still sitting in the garage never baked.
