1) Nissan HID's suck
2) They are not meant for use in projector headlights
3) register on HIDforum.com and do some research

and most likely it blinds the hell out of oncoming drivers, and/or it doesn't put down light where it's really needed. I guarantee you my OEM Mercedes bi-xenon projectors will own his setup. Sorry I just have no patience for people who just throw some bulbs in housings they weren't designed for and rig it to fit and think it's an awesome upgrade.

i would do the retrofit its not that much more. halogen headlights/projectors just werent made for hid which will cause glare and hotspots. you spend good money on hid's why not use them to their full potential and doing a proj. retro. the amount of light produced is phenomnal its also safer as the light output is actually on the road and not up in the trees and what not.
