You must be itchin to spend a lot of money for some reason... you can achieve a really HID-like effect for about 70 bucks with just getting bulbs, getting all that stuff you bought just costs a lot of money, and doing an audi conversion would be hell, i would think.

but seriously, I think most guys nowadays (non-hardcore) will just go out and buy bulbs. why not? i mean, it looks pretty decent.

Because bulbs are just a partial imitation of HIDs/Xenons...that's why they were invented. Yes, certain bulbs like higher end PIAAs look good. But if you got the money for HIDs, why not?

For the harness, check with your local Nissan dealer, they should have one.

I'm not sure what you mean by flickering, the headlights are self-leveling which may be what you mean?? If you want to have the color more like an Audi, you can buy different bulbs but they are like 200.
