Morimoto hid kit

I'm thinking about getting the 35w 5500K kit and I was wondering if H11b is the correct bulb to get and if I need to get a HD relay and will this still work with the auto feature on the car

Damn the sales person in the chat said I needed it. But I don't remember seeing an option for L shape.
Thanks for the info

I got OPT7 6000K and it was easy to install but not a L shaped bulb.

This is how it looks.

It's not so bright but the visibility is good when in a very dark road.

I got it on sale for $35.95 and just checked now and still on sale.

For installation,
I removed the front wheels to get a better access to the bulb and open the inner fender liner a little bir from the front as shown in the pic



This is the only pic I got and it shows you how to get access to the bulb.
So easy and it took me around 30 mins for the first bulb as it's my first time installing a HID myself
Second bulb took me 15 mins or less.

I have that Morimoto 35w 5500k kit and love it. I got the relay for added security and ease of installation.

What do you mean relay for added security?

Did you try to install without taking the wheel off?

On a side note nissan should have included HIDs in the SV and SL and saved the LED for the platinum. Makes no sense when the 7th gen had HIDs with the sport package and premium package (and maybe the SV?)

I took the front bumper off. Made it easier for me. I am OCD about things being nice and neat.
