So I wanna put in HID lights on my 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 S but I do not know which kit to buy. What is with the telescopic bulbs? Can I get those so I have both high and low beams? That would be ideal. If someone could link to the kit I would need that would be great. I was wondering if this kit would work too.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors..._1379

I also would be interested in a kit for my foglights. I installed OEM foglights when I got my car but I would obviously want to upgrade to HID foglights if I got HID headlights. Thanks for the help.

I couldn't find anything to prove it...but I think Telescopic bulbs have a HIGH and LOW beam in one bulb, and the ballast changes the voltage to move the arc to a spot in the bulb where it can be brighter or dimmer. (Unlike a Dual Beam where there are two parts inside the bulb and electricity is going though one or the other.)

Those wouldn't work in an altima...we have two different bulbs and which one is lit depends on what you want to be using. All you would need is a low beam HID. Something along the following lines:

(Stock situations)2005-2006 Sedan - 2.5S/3.5SE NON Premium PackageLow Beam - H1

2005-2006 Sedan - 3.5SE w/Premium PackageLow Beam - HID D2R

Well I just ordered a kit from ebay for $70 shipped. Not bad. Hopefully it works out for me.
