Even if someone with good photoshop skills would be great, I would just like to see these on a black coupe. Thanks :)

Those are fairly new don't think anyone has those particular ones but there definitely are some black coupes with the housing blacked out. Theres another thread here about those so make sure you read up before you buy them:

Make sure you guys read the thread I linked. Dangeris was talking about some of the materials used in those. Might be a bad decision in the long run.

I still havn't had anyone answer me why these won't work in an altima with factory HIDs and what mods would have to be done to make it work :/

They will work with your factory HIDs (as long as the bulb size is the same as the non-HID size), but they will cause an enormous amount of glare.. so much glare that you probably won't be able to see the halos surrounding the bulb. HID bulbs should be placed in an appropriate HID projector to reduce and/or eliminate glare and these headlights have halogen projectors, so you will have glare. That's the only downfall.

Thanks for the reply! I dont even care about the HIDs at this point ill use the bulbs provided with the headlights but for some reason people have made it seem that they cant even be hooked up whether you want to use the HIDs or not is the wiring different?

I can't really speak to that.. if the headlights are designed for your car model and year then the wiring should be okay. Keep in mind that if your Altima has HIDs you will HAVE to use HIDs inside the headlight unless you want to completely swap out the headlight electrical system for halogens, which is a ridiculous amount of work.

actually i think it clearly says in the item listing that they will NOT fit with factory hid.

those headlights say that the come included with the h7 projects for lows and h1 for high bulbs, won't these just be plug and play? unplug your old headlights and then plug these into the factory wiring harness?

Thats probably exactly why they wont work In the description of these headlights on ebay they said you have to use H7 bulbs and its not compatible with HID models Thanks for making me understand why they won't work guess ill have to wait for and aftermarket HID headlight to come out althought i did see dangeris's work which looked amazing but I've had my old headlights modded from my old car spent $1300 on them just have have the glow kit in one side go out completely and a few leds out within 2 months which after the company would not reply to my emails *cincitydesigns dot com*

They were always nice, this was the only incident the entire time dealing with them i was disappointed. Regrettably I no longer have the car the lights were for but I'm not trying to get money or anything from them I just wish they were there when i needed them, no hard feeling towards them at all.

Didn't mean to bash them if it came off that way.
