Sorry if this is a repost. I am sorta new to the whole forum thing. I just got in my HID fog light kit today and installed them. I got 10000k and I was wondering where I could find replacement bulbs for my headlights so I can make them 10000k as well.

Wow, aren't your lights purple? Anyways, I saw 10000K and 12000K on ebay. Good luck NOT getting pulled over! And just to let you know, you're getting WAY less light output (lumens) running such a high temp.

By the way, welcome to the NICO!

They are blue. And I just like how they look thats why I ordered them. But WV police officers dont enforece that rule. If there even is one. They told me as long as its not purple its ok. And Im putting overlays over them anyway so they still wont look as bright.

What year is your altima? Do you already have a kit installed in for your headlights and you only need the replacement HID bulbs, or do you need a conversion kit for the headlights as well?

Feel free to give me a call and i'll help you out. Ask for Joe and let us know you're from Nico.

Oh, I just noticed you have the 2008 Altima in Black.

Here are the low beam options for your car according to spec.

-----------------------------------------------With factory HID already installed:

D2R HID Bulbshttp://www.omnixautosports.com...u.htm-----------------------------------------------

With Halogen Option, need to upgrade to HID:

H11 HID Conversion Kit:http://www.omnixautosports.com...t.htm-----------------------------------------------

what about the hi beams? and I found this website last night and I was gonna order from here because it looks like a good product. I already have HIDs in my headlights and I changed my fog lights because I didn't like how the HID and halogen went together. But I ordered 10000k on accident but it looks sweet. So now I am looking for replacing my headlights to match.

Ok, no problem... Then the D2R bulb is the one you need for the low beams.

Just choose the 10000K option from the drop down menu as your choice of Kelvin Temp Color and you're all set. :-)

As for the High Beams, you would need the H9 Conversion Kit if you want to upgrade to HID, but although we like sells, I wouldn't steer you wrong... That being said, most people find that they never need the use of High Beams with HID low beams. That is unless you are having a hard time seeing with the deeper color low beams. If you find that it's hard to see with a deep color low beam light output, then insalling say 6000K for your high beams may prove useful.

The H9 Conversion kit can be found here:http://www.omnixautosports.com...t.htm
