If you're going to do it please do it right, retro-fit projector lenses into the housing.


I hate people that install HID kits on halogen reflector housings :smh: the light leaks everywhere, there's no beam cut-off, and it blinds other divers. It also ends up looking like :trash:

HID lights are ideal coupled with a projector lens, however you still can install them on a car that has a regular halogen reflector housing(bulb faces backwards towards a reflective surface). If you go with the latter it is best to have them professionally aimed & balanced so the high intensity light doesn't go all over the place & blind oncoming drivers.



For example this is the standard 97-01 Honda prelude reflective halogen housing

And this one is retro-fitted with a projector lens

What year altima do you have

If its a 2012 or older dont bother... u will be blinding people... professional install or not

If its a 2013 it will have projector headlights standard... which controls the beam pattern better and won't blind people.

If you have the 2013+ get 4300K and no higher... the blue look is from color banding at the cutoff, NOT the color of the light.

See how the line at the top is blue, the light is white, and there is no light above the cutoff? This is the output from a projector.

Heres a comparo between HIDs in reflectors (pre 2012) and projectors

All that fuzz up top on the reflector side is what blinds people. No HID kit can fix that.
