I've been searching around on the internet machine and I am a bit stumped. I want to get a set of Projectors for my car but it seems I bought a bit too big. All of the kits I have found online are for the halogen style vehicles and all specifically say "WILL NOT FIT STOCK HID". :confused:

Does anybody have any tips on where I can find a projector kit that will fit my cursed HID vehicle?

You already have GOOD QUALITY, OEM projectors if your car came with HIDs from the factory.. why would you want to replace them with cheaply made projectors that won't even have half the quality as yours...

He doesn't have projectors, he has Reflector HID that came on the 08 A/C.

OP, what kind of projectors did you get that are too big?

Ya I was gonna say I was pretty sure that OEM projectors didn't start till 2010.

Oh.. I didn't know that. My bad lol.

So pre-2010 A/C had the option of coming with OEM HIDs in halogen housing?

Perhaps I misspoke. I'm looking for "angel eyes" or "halos rings". All I have now are stock HID bulbs in a standard housing. And if I'm not mistaken, its only the standard head lights that are HID. High beams are not HID.

Ah completely different things. It's a huge process to do halos such as baking the headlight and some electrical work. So if you don't have experience with it, I highly suggest leaving it alone.

I am an 08 SE Coupe owner who had the same desire :) If you are willing to pay a few ducats for top quality work, talk to forum member Darryl B, aka "Dangeris"......I believe his business is called "Dangeris Illuminations".......and here is what he did for me.......

There was a huge discussion on why those lights wouldn't work IF you have a 3.5 SE that comes with HID headlights....put "projector headlights" in the search engine and highlight "Altima Coupe" and it should get you to the thread that talks about those lights, sold on eBay, I think.....
