hello all. i recently got an 05 altima 2.5S and i love it so far. however, i wanted to change one small thing, the shift knob. i was looking on ebay and found some all silver shift knobs that i really liked...however they say for manual transmissions. but if they are just the screw on kind, then they should work for automatics too right? because my altima is automatic. i would hate to buy it and then it not fit.

rather simple question about shift knobs
Re: rather simple question about shift knobs (chrisjm00)
also, while im thinking about it....around how much does a set of OEM left and right HID headlights cost for the altima? i would like to upgrade my headlights to HID, but i only trust OEM stuff. and are they swappable? i found this kit on ebay....i dont know if its any good...or if its junk...but let me know.

Shift Knobs-I would say that the manual shifter and the automatic gear selectors are different. Typically the shift knobs that you referenced are for manual shifters. These knobs unscrew the shifter at the top. Before you buy, I would take apart your gear selector to make sure the knob can just screw on the top.
HID-If you stick with the OEM system, it will be expensive. It will include buying the headlamp assemblies, wiring harnesses and all the lighting components. It has to be expensive, but should just bolt right in. Even though the aftermarket kits are cheaper, you run the risk of them not mounting correctly and having to fabricate or modify your car to mount up. I would tend to trust the OEM parts because they are tested and made to last.

Do you have any idea where I can get an OEM HID set? I really don't want to go through the Nissan dealer and pay an arm and a leg. But if I have to, I will.
