HID newb with questions.

[matrix2004]

I have an 03 Altima 2.5s and i want HID lights. I don't want any fancy modifcation and i don't want to do it myself. I was thinking just letting a Nissan dealer do everything. Does anyone have HIDs from a nissan dealer? How good are they? Any pics? How long do they last? How much should i expect to pay?

Thanks

well the stock HIDs that come on the 3.5's are $1600 for the pair.....and thats without dealer mark-up. then you have to worry about the labor. id say expect to pay close to $3000 for it all.

now, if you want to man up and get an aftermarket kit and do the very very very simple work yourself, youll only spend $80 and an afternoon of your time
