So I think I'm going to try to get some projectors set up and done whenever I get the money together to change everything out. I just bought my 08 altima 3.5 about 3 weeks ago and I've been watching this forum for awhile doing little things here and there since then. I thought Id ask everyone what they think the best projectors would be so that I can undergo this and it doesn't look like an eyeball popping out.

My headlight assembly looks a little worse for wear, but the stock xenons are still pretty good (I'll probably change them to 8 or 10k in the future though). The plan is to buy a stock set from ebay and take my time with making them look right so that way I can not feel rushed in a day or so. I could take even a month if work keeps me too busy lol

I have a 2009, the 2009 come without projector lights, just the regular headlights, no projector design, the person who owned it before decided to upgrade the front bumper and headlights for a 2012, so now I have projector lights, upgrade it to clear white lights.. I don't think they are really projector, just the headlight design is the projector style ..

So all that was changed was just bumper and headlamps? Id probably paint them black just for asthetic looks considering mine is a red coupe and I like the black on red theme :) There's plenty other things I'm getting done as the money comes by do you guys think I should do a build log or anything?

I don't know much about projectors, so I don't have any recommendations for you, but I'd be interested in seeing what you end up doing! PICS!

I guess I'll start taking pictures of every step of the way then, I've got a few here and there of what I've done so far. Hell I've almost completely sound deadened my coupe in 3 weeks of having it lol
