What's up yall? I wanted to know if there is anyway that I can switch my headlights on a 17 Sentra from halogen to LED or HID? I was told that in some of the first 2016's you could but the later 16's and 17's you couldn't. Just want to know and also if I can do it what are the best HID's/LED's to get?

Since the '17 has projector headlights, you should be able to just swap em out. Most HID kits are about the same quality unless you get the high dollar one. Same with LED. I'd personally go with LED for the reduced power draw and the easier installation. No messing with ballasts or anything.

Thanks Ace and sorry for taking soooo long to respond back. I went with a HID Kit since most of the LED I tried didn't work because of the the fan. If you don't mind if I ask, what LED did you went with?

LED's weren't out in a reliable capacity when I was upgrading headlights way back when. I haven't gotten my TT rebuilt to the point that I need to be worrying about headlights either, lol.
