Headlight/Fog Light Question

[spockrock]

Hi Folks, question for you, according to the nissan website, I should have HID projector headlights, with my 3.5SE with the premium package, while I do have HIDs but are they do not look like projector head lights, am I sorely mistaken??

On a side note the Fog Lights, bulbs are do not look like HIDs, and I doubt they are but I could be mistaken.

Yep! You are mistaken. The premium package come with HID, but they are not a projector style headlight. Simply a reflective housing. The fogs are NOT hid. Plain halogen. You can install an aftermarket HID set in your fogs if you wish.

fair enough, but why is Nissan saying they are projector headlights when when they are not??

Where does it say projector? Don't believe I've seen that referenced before. Might be the Canadian description. If so, then its definitely incorrect.

^^ right there from the nissan canada site, when I get home I will check the brochure, and make sure and double check that.

on Nissan USA they are just referred to as "High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights" which is what they are, not projectors. Weird.

Yeah, we discussed this on the forum back in September... for some reason, Nissancanada doesn't know the difference between HID and projectors. They've had this incorrect on their website since the A/C launched...

Yeah I think I remember now Rob. Thats VERY misleading for some, this thread is a prime example of it.

Tyler, after posting that I just checked your profile... you can't be senile at ag 22... but is your name really Tyler Durden??? lol... say it aint so...

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Durden is my alias My real last name is Madwid. Its a joke amongst friends to use Durden. First rule of Fight Club is?

I'm not going senile I have so much going on in my mind its hard to keep track of it all.

Lets get back on topic. Crazy Nissan Canadians!

Hey thanks everyone for confirming what I believed. I am then assuming that projectors are not listed in the brochure as well.
