What are my stock headlights?
Just bought my 2011 2.5S and so i will have a few questions while I become educated.
My first desire is to improve my low beams which seem quite inadequate. I downloaded a factory users manual and it claims these to be Xenon, but it is a generic manual. So my question is can I benefit from installing an HID kit with ballasts? Or is the factory setup already HID? Thanks! |

The stock is D2S. You would probably have better visibility with with aftermarket HID kit.

What you need are H9 bulbs H11 is 55-watt, 1350-lumen H9 is 65 watt 2100 lumen If yours has the non-projector lamp housings you DO NOT want to just drop a HID kit in there, or you will get a very over-bright light scatter which WILL blind other drivers or get you pulled over. Also beware lots of HID kits are junk, and lots of so-called installers hack your cars wiring to pieces. Either swap headlight housings AND go to HIDs (big money, big hassle) OR swap bulbs to H9 instead of H11. To plug a H9 into a H11 socket you have to file off a little key inside the light bulb. H11 is 55-watt, 1350-lumen H9 is 65 watt 2100 lumen Lots of Subarus use H11s, but folks convert to H9s, see link below: H11 to H9 conversion. DIY with temps - NASIOC H11 to H9 conversion.

Question to change the aftermarket D2S light bulbs on 2008 coupe
Hi , i have the OEM HID package on my 2008 Altima coupe 3.5 SE and just want to replace the light bulks to 6000K, so i brought the D2S light bulbs to change as the Vender said the D2R and D2S are the same and the different is D2R have a piece of metal on the light bulbs,and the rest are the same. So when i change the first light bulb everything look OK, but when i change the second light bulb , the second one only light on 30 second then turn off, or both lights turn off (just like cut off) , i need turn off the light swatch and return on again, but it only keep the light on about 30 second then off again , and now i put back the OEM light bulbs again and everything look OK .Do anyone know why ? . thanks
