Hi Everyone,

Just noticed that my left headlight is burnt out (HID) ---> I can find tons of 'net sites that'll sell an OEM equivalent HID bulb MUCH cheaper than what nissan quoted me (~$300 installed).

I can't do more of an exhaustive forum search (b/c I'm a cheapskate) but w/ the free search, i did not find any useable threads that would help me out.

Thanks in advance

 

Open hood & remove old bulb & insert new one. As far as replacement bulbs go to Ebay & buy one used this way it matches. Or buy two new ones.

 

on ebay its like 40 bucks.
are there no hi performance car parts store in ur area?
look it up on the pc find one.
9 times outta ten they carry those bulbs in stock

 

Thanks guys --

There are very few hi-perf car stores here in chi-town 'burbs... I'll look into ebay. Thanks for the help

 

Oh -- when looking for new bulbs -- what is the stock specification for the HID bulbs? I know they are the D2R type, but what kelvin/temp are they? 4300?

thanx

 

There are a ton of them, have you looked in a phone book? Or have you just not seen any while driving around?

 

just go to the group deal sections and order some from operatic, they are like $60 for the pair and upgrade to 6000k!!!!!!!!!

 

Buy a new pair, as your working bulb now has color shifted, it will be whiter compared to a new 4,300K bulb.

 

Looks like your dealer is trying to bend you over,

You're serious....been here since '01 and have to ask a simple question like that lol......

 

open the hood, and unscrew the cap behind the headlights. theres a clip holding the bulbs, squeeze them together and remove the clip. after that, you should be able to take out the bulb. dont touch the bulb with your fingers.jeez your telling us were lazy, how can you call your self a cheap skate when your paying someone to change a damn light bulb.... you can spend the 20 bucks and DIY or pay some one else to do it.
