Ahhhhh ok. I guess the price makes a big difference. I've never seen Versas on the streets that are nice looking like all of yours here.

I got them and put in a pair of 6000k HIDs. They seem to be promising, but I have yet to aim them properly. The cutoffs seem surprisingly sharp for ebay lights. I may post some pictures of the reaimed headlights in a few days.

I'm a shady character, I'll pop up, disappear, change my name a few times. It's what I do.

The headlights look pretty good but I'm not seeing much on light output. How is that compared to stock? I know I'm amazed every time I use the highbeams on completely dark backroads and I wouldn't wanna lose that.

They are adjustable. Two screws on each headlamp. One adjusts height. The other i can't tell. Once its installed its almost impossible to get to unless i jam my hand in and turn it with my fingers. Did that and am not sure what it did.
I Adjusted mine cause the low beam was way down...got it up and now the high beam went up higher when b4 it was sitting at a normal level...i was using the inside adjuster because the one thats crammed in the corner wasn't doing anything any idea wat to do........thanx

The one you adjusted was for the highbeam, the one that's hard to reach (the one which would most often be more important to adjust, of course) is for the low beam. Upon posting this reply, I had an epiphany specific to these headlights; there's a #2 phillips screw holding in the adjustment wheel, I believe this must be loosened to allow height adjustment. Also, if you notice, there are two U-shaped notches leading to the wheels. Since the wheels are gear shaped, all you need to do is get a long flathead lead it through the notches and turn, this will spin the adjustment wheel. I hope this makes sense, unfortunately I haven't the pictures to supplement this claim. Of course to verify this, before you remove the bumper, you should test it on the high beam adjuster. I'm at work now, and it doesn't get very dark here until after 9PM, so I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to test this out. If anyone gets to it before I do, keep us all updated please.

I adjusted the inside screw and it adjusted the height of the low beam didn't seem to do anything to the high beam. When i turned the screw thats impossible to get to i really could not tell what it did. I think it might change the focus of the projector beam.

I think the other one may be for left-right adjustments.

Umm maybe you got a different brand or something but I just found them on Ebay for about $177 and than $40 for shipping so roughly $220 total.

Kenny... your car looks great!Would the CF Tiida hood and grill fit on a 08 Versa?
