headlight question

Alright, now don't freak out and start yelling and being all mean, but I have seen some pictures of the 95 96 97 98 99 NISSAN SENTRA headlights online and WITHOUT actually seeing the OEM headlights on the front of the Maxima and I30's, it seems that they have the same basic shape.

Does anyone know if the nissan sentra headlights are even close to being the same shape and size to the maxima and I30 headlights?

Damn. I was looking at those same dual beam halo projectors today on ebay for the sentra as well. LOL I wanted the answer to be yes so bad!

Well, thanks for the info.

So, how would you go about geting two light bulbs in the headlight instead of the one that we have for the high and low beam? Does that make sense? If you put a dual projector headlight on your car, then I would think you would need 2 separate headlight bulbs (one for each projector), correct? How do you go about doing that?

well i dont know about dual projector cause that looks weird in my opinion and also using a Xenon jsut for highbeam isnt recomended cause.. it takes too long to start up...

what u do is the outer light owuld be projector and inner would be halogen..

then u use the stock harness ground for both lights.. and the low beam would go to teh hid projector/ballast.. and then the Hi beam line would go to the halogen .. then there would be a diode connecting the Hi and low together.. which would direct power from the Hi to lowbeam when the lowbeam line gets cut offf when we hit hte highbeam on the light switch inside.. thus preventing the projecotr/hid from shutting off when we hit higbeam... u get what im saying.. but yea putting in 2 projectors looks doofy..
