it is easy to install.....
did u get any wires with it? if u have the turn signal wires, and high beam ones, than u should be fine w/o buying the harness.but if u have 49 bucks, go ahead and buy one frm courtesynissan....it'll be easieer to installl...
but afterall, if u just know basic electric things you'll be fine.....
good luck

Buy the harness from Dave B. It's much cheaper to buy from him than Courtesy. It should run around $35.00 or so. As far as the install, the harness makes it a lot easier and cleaner install. Good luck!

you don't need it but it will make it all better. just find a spare bulb and fool with the wires till you get them marked. there was a diagram but experimenting is more fun and you learn.

just don't test anything on the hids though.. also i fused mine since i don't trust the default fuse in the panel. i used some low amperage one too, and it hasn't blown yet

You need an OEM wire harness kit from Nissan. I got mine for $49 from my local Nissan dealer.

Wiring is easy, I'd tell you how to do it, but then I need proof of purchase. It's really easy and it's common sense, all you need is $10 worth of radioshack wiring components, 1 hour, and know-how.

Good luck.

i didnt get the turn signal wires and the high beam wires /sockets..what does the harness kit provide?? the sockets and all wires(turn signal,high beam,parking light and all sockets?).so best bet is buying the harness? and Dave B sells them cheaper? anyone know his email?
thanks
