Hey guys, is there a diy somewhere for the install on the rogue? I found one on the altima that involves removing the front wheels and pulling back the wheel well.

from what I can see, I dont think that needs to be done on the rogue? is there a trick to this?

Looking forward to hearing what you guys did.

Thanks

i have installed plenty HID kits. in motorcycles, civics, maxima's, solara's, GS300's, etc.
it kinda depends on the kit you get. if its a plug & play kit - your pretty much plugging it in, and your done.
some crappy kits require you to strip wires, or insert little connecters into the headlight harness - not a big deal, but kinda annoying if you ask me. not a real secure way to do it - unless you strip wires and solder the connection right.

i would youtube some video's on how to do it- im sure someone posted it. its all pretty much the same, for every car. some cars have a cap on the back of the headlight (see picture below). you will have to drill a large, sometimes 1 inch hole into that cap in order to feed the wires out, and then use the supplied rubber gasket/grommet thats already on the wires to seal that hole (see the lowest of photo's to explain this)
