I replaced the headlight bulbs in my 2017 Titan with LED bulbs from AUXITO, installed h11 50W led bulbs in the low beam. Let me tell you that it is a big upgrade in lightning performance and color wise. The plug&play install was easy except for trying to get around some parts surrounding the back of my headlights, so I ended up getting some help from Nissan service in the end, locking in one of the bulbs into the housing. The attached drivers make the areas a lil crowded, but the 2-sided tape that comes in the packaging allows you to tape it out of the way.

Interetsing.
not much more money than the upgraded Phillips xtremevision incandescent I been using (and those wear down quickly)

Am about to replace a pair on one of my Nissans again soon and may go this route instead.
No body's been flashing you on using LED lowbeams?

so far nothing happened, the lows are pointed down enough to not bother oncoming cars

Thats good to hear.
led kits have a Reputation for blinding oncoming traffic but it appears thats been ironed out in recent years.

It isn't the fact that they're LED's, you have to use the right bulbs and don't f___ with the factory aim. I see guys using 80W driving-light LED's instead of 55/60W headlight types and then tilting them up like a high beam, of course it blinds people. That isn't the bulb's fault, it's the loose nut behind the wheel.

80W is crazy, no need to be that bright.

Sir,

Any more feedback? I am about to order them (in 9007 size) for my Xterra based on your positive experience...
:whistle:

PS: If they work out well in my Hi/lo mains I may also order them for my factory roof mounted lights
