Yes the headlights were designed for HIDs and they housings are all metal. The cut off is really nice and clean with no glare to oncoming traffic.

Also found this stick on chrome trim while getting oil change supplies at Autozone and put it on the edges of all the wood grain pieces

These are 6k temp, solid white color with barely any blue shade when they are first turned on. 10k IMO is wayyy too out there, if you go past 5k you actually lose illumination and just cause a road hazard.

I like the chrome trim.. it goes.

Also VERY NICE on the HIDs... they are the perfect color and temp. Exactly what I want for my car.

Don't intend to start an argument about the HID road hazard issue but go look at the murano and fx35 headlights... engineered at its best to shine light all over the damn road, if you can't see past then your the road hazard. I personally prefer regular lights instead of 10Ks because you are correct, you do lose illumination and it makes me feel like the road isn't lit up well enough even though it is.
