Is it possible to get new xenon headlamp assemblies from your local nissan dealer?

I asked the same task of Brit a while back. IIRC it came in somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 PER lamp assembly. So $1400 for just the headlights. If you search through the site here you'll find it in one of the threads.

I'd be willing to drop the coin if the performance was up to snuff. While I have no doubt it is better than our Halogens, I just don't think it is going to prove to be $1500 better. For that I could purchase an ARB/Shrock front bumper and mount driving lights on it and still have left over gas money.

Halogens look way washed out compared to the EU spec Xenon's.

1.5 meters from wall.

Point taken!

thanks

One thing I can promise you, it won't be cheap (and that is before shipping)

Only the two headlights, or the "high voltage" box and wiring too?

What he said

But I sent a dealer a mail (not mine, because he's an idiot)

If I were you guys, I'd try some kind of bi-xenon first. Is the US headlights a H4 bulb?

you guys won't be disappointed with the retrofits... trust me...

Billy T. Got any pics to go by? What kit did you go with?

Shouldn't you guys be in bed soon?

Just got to work now

Uploading pictures now..

Turned out pretty good to be a mobile phone-camera

How about someone does a side by side? I did see a shot of the OEM HIDs somwhere but I can't find them again... too much cross posty.

Got a mail now..
$2500 for one headlight..

So I guess thats not an option

(norwegian prices are sick)

That seals the fact that I need a new camera if your phone can take those good of pictures.

I had assumed it was the assembly with wiring, but no idea to be honest. Brit was met with resistance and lots of "it won't work" or "it can't be done" at the dealership so at $700 already I wasn't going to press him. But it could very well not even include the wiring jacking the price up further. :-/

thanks but I'll be sticking with the bi-xenon hid kit.

Can you take a pic of a wall with your lights shining on them?

So we can have a HID/Halogen/bixenon-kit comparison..

Fofiddy wrote:Billy T. Got any pics to go by? What kit did you go with?

I'll try to get them tonight...

And all the kits are pretty much the same basic components, unless you get the bi-zenon kit...

Mine are from some company I had never heard of called Spear Light. So far so good, and come with a one year warranty.
