Hi guys, i'm new here :]
I just thought i'd join cause i recently installed some awesome headlights on my 2008 A/C, and i've always been looking around the forums for help on my car. Also installed some LED strips from ebay :chuckle:
Here are some pics:

Bumper removed+one of the headlights in!

hope you guys like it :]
Also the bumper is aftermarket, i got that off ebay too since some idiot hit my car..so i had to fix it myself =/
As you can probably tell, I lovee ebay!

I also have custom tails and a LED logo on the back, i will add more pics soon!

Hey guys, i know i promised more pics cause some of you guys wanted to see the headlights in dark slate, so here they are! i tried my best with the reflections on my car..i even tried flash, not sure if it turned out too well.
I also added more pics of just my car in general. Hope you guys like my car! enjoy! :)

Thanks man. They're just for show, wired into the halos and parking lights.

Those arent retrofits, they are the eBay projectors listed in this thread as far as I can tell:

08-09-altima-2dr-ccfl-halo-projector-t5 ... lit=altima coupe projector

Another member has them as well, his thread was something about an accident and then getting his bumper replaced along with these headlights.

I do like the LED bar though, can you link to the eBay listing?

Mine were like 300 cuz theyre super bright and strong, plus they have a module that connects so that they dim down when the actual lights come on... pretty cool, but I hope you didn't pay nearly that much! haha

Yup i got em off ebay. Sorry haha idk the difference between retrofits and stuff cause im a noob.
Here is the link to the led strips:

They're from hong kong so it'll take a while for you to receive them, but there are some from the us for $40 if you dont wanna wait as long.

I worked at a car dealership for a bit, and actually got a deal that the customizers do there, so I have no idea where theyre actually from... sorry about that, I really didn't want to mess around with the wiring, so I let them do everything.

What color is your car? And do you have any pics without so many reflections lol, I wanna get a peak of how those headlights look on Dark Slate (if that's the color of your car..).

Nice A/C btw! I like the LED strips. I thought about getting some for mine, but I have foglights so I'd probably have to mount them under the headlights which I'm not a fan of. We'll see though...

Cool! Yeah man, that'd be great. I'm kinda thinking about those headlights but I'm not 100% on them yet, which I'd like to be before I dump the money for them since if I remember, they're a little over $400.

Actually the ones i have are a bit cheaper cause of shipping. I got it from this guy. I believe the only difference between the two is the price.

I'm loving both the headlights and the LED Strip. I also have fog lights already. Has anyone done any mounting of these on the insides of a cmod grille or anyother ideas?

Better get these headlights resealed.. You will notice fogging issue with these headlights. It's been almost a month since i got them on my car. Still waiting to see how long these headlight will hold (quality wise). Currently, biggest issue still is fogging.

Looks good. Can I request one more photo shoot? Can you please:

1) Take one shot of the headlight on the car in direct sunlight, with the lights off?
2) Take a shot of the cutoff against a wall from various distances?

I like it although the LED strips near the bottom don't look quite flush to me or maybe they need to be a bit more recessed? Maybe it's the angle or I'm crazy but those are my thoughts. :)

Yeah its kind of the angle, but the strips would be flush than it is now if i flipped em around. I've just been a bit too lazy to do that haha.

Hey man, i'm really sorry that i'm like super slow, but today i parked, on my way to the mall and saw my car was sitting in the direct sunlight, so i decided to take a few pics! I'll get the headlights at different distances as soon as possible, thanks for your patience.
