I'm thinking of changing my lights to HID. and im trying to get some info. of how to do it with out having to do much rewiring.
any kits anyone know of.?Has anyone ever changed their headlights for 1998 pathfinder to HID lights?
You can find plenty of kits on eBay or online, but converting your headlights to HID does take some elbow grease. There's a fair amount of assembly and cable-tying to do, and you've got to have a good place to mount your ballasts so that they'll stay nice and dry.
That being said, what you're talking about is swapping out halogen bulbs from a reflector assembly that was designed for halogen light output and replacing them with High Intensity Discharge Xenon bulbs, which produce a different kind of light that needs to be reflected differently than halogen light.
I have to ask that you do your fellow drivers on the road a favor and not do this conversion - the resultant glare from the improper reflection of the extra bright light can blind oncoming traffic even in a sedan or smaller vehicle, but installing these conversion kits on an SUV is really criminal. SUVs blind other vehicles enough as it is, just imagine that with twice the lighting power, plus the light is reflected in the wrong direction (ie. Up instead of down at the road!)
The alternative to blinding oncoming traffic is to adjust your headlights so that they are aiming as far down as possible, and that reduces your visibility to the point that having HIDs provides no benefit to you.
Please consider alternatives if all you're after is the look, (like halogen bulbs with a blue tint) as conversions are illegal and, in your case, potentially dangerous.
Best of luck!Has anyone ever changed their headlights for 1998 pathfinder to HID lights?
its easy. just plug and play. first remove your halogen bulbs. connect your hid bulbs to ballasts. find nice dry place to secure the ballasts. then connect the hid wires.
