Hi, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about installing an hid kit in a 09 altima?

Look it up on YouTube. If it's any thing like the 2013 altima then it's pretty simple. You just remove the tire and a couple of pins and pull back the panel and take the bulbs out and change the wiring harnesses to support hids

If you are going to purchase an quality aftermarket HID kit. The HID kit will come with basic installation instructions. The majority of aftermarket HID kits are easy to install. :biggrin:

Thanks for the input! I successfully installed a pair of 55w 6000k from ddm tuning. Took me about 30mins

I had too many issues with my HID 8k's. I even bought German Ballasts and capacitors which helped some. The Auto light function caused driver side to not start once in a while. I hated that. I pulled out all 4 HID's headlights and fogs and replaced them with the following.

These are super bright very white color hue (miss my 8k look some). But come on right away every time and look fantastic!

I did this last year on my 2010 and IT IS NOT EASY! The insructions and youtube videos make it look easy but its really a pain in the as$ with the plastic sheeting. A real pain. Do yourself a favor and buy a bag of replacement plastic pins on ebay for a few bucks. If anyone can do this install wihout braking at least one plug I'll give you a prize.

These days it's best to simply purchase a vehicle with OEM equipped HID xenon lights. :yesnod
