I'm really tempted to install a set of HID on my x-trail, however, ive a few concerns and wonderin if any of you here had any experience..

You all know the X-Trail sits pretty tall even as a Jeep, and it doesnt come with projectors..so if i install them, will i be bugged by police all the time ?

Is there anyway to lower certai angle on the HID so it wont distract other drivers ??

Any ways to reduce glare or make a clear beam cut off ??

Finally, is there any good HID set recommendation ? Any long lasting ones ??

being a newer car/truck the police will 99% wont even care if u have HIDs installed

yes there is a way u can lower the angle of beam on your headlights, by adjusting the beams on your housing itself its a tiny 10mm bolt

to reduce the glare of your beam you would have to find projector housing from a car/truck with HID originally installed and retro fit them to fit your X.

good HIDs mcholloch(SP?), bright star, philips, hella, i have zenon depot HID installed

heres the link to my cardomain page with some shots with my HID kit on and in action

thanks for your quick reply. I've actually been to your site before and yeh, thats where i can see the glare and height problem....lolz

So did u tune down ur kit ? For example if you follow a compact car, where will ur beam cut off be ? Cux right now even with stock lights, im shining at the almost top part of the trunk...

Would you mind if I asked where you purchased your HIDs and what the cost was?

HID XENON CONVERSION KIT 3000K 4300K 6000K 6500K 8000K

paid about 350 canadian i got the 6500k the color is pinkish when u turn it on then turns to a bright white

when i intsalled the kit the oem beam settings where way too high i was always getting high beamed back all i did was drive my car close to a wall, shined the beam against the wall and adjusted. i lowered it maybe 3-4 inches now, so the only time i actually blind people from behind is when the person in front of me drives a lowered car, other than that the beam usuallly shines right against the trunk lid of the car close to the liscense plate area

just a question...you sy uve lowered ur headlight to the trunk lid level, but is that as low as it can get ? or it can still go lower ? lets say...to someone's bumper area ?

TjC
