I need some help from you Murano Wizards :yesnod

I bought my daughter aftermarket headlights for her 2005 Murano but when installing them found the connection totally different than the low beam bulb, are there other bulbs I can use?

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help or advise.

Here's what I have.....

Does she have the Xenon HID Factory lights?

That guide will help you. The base model Murano in '05 had regular lights, Xenon HID lights were an option. The blue connector you had in the photo appears to be a regular light bulb, but I think she might have Xenons.

you gotta find out out what plug they use for what bulb. every headlight manufacturer will have their own spec's.

the problem is that your stock car had HID's and used a d2r/d2s bulb & connector = while the aftermarket headlights use a non xenon/HID setup.

Thanks for all the replies, I sent the aftermarket lights back.

Thinking they would be plug and play, I bought them for her birthday but it didn't turn out that way, story of my life :crazy:
