Anyone know about and upgrade to Xenon?

I had xenons on my altimal and loved them - and as I've said in other posts, I was in need of a car ASAP and couldn't order OR wait for one from another dealer. Xenons were one of several options I wasn't able to get.

Thanks!

It's just not worth it.

You have some of the best projector optics on the road today -- already better than many cars with Xenons. It's really not worth the better part of a thousand bucks just to change the color of your headlights.

Re: It's just not worth it.

it's not about changing the color - my Altima produced more light - I do a lot of night driving and living in the Northeast, some crappy weather night driving as well. If you know of a company that makes a nice kit, please let me know.

Thanks,
Pete

Re: B7 halogens are now reflectors not projectors

you can buy OEM headlights from Europe with bi-xenon but you won't have auto-levelling. That'd be too complicated to install, and too costly. Otherwise it's almost plug and play, but you have to go through the hassle of removing the bumper.
