HID PROBLEM
One of my HIDs went...It cost about 200 dollars from factory to fix the problem...I can get aftermarket HIDs for 100 dollars a pair...i figured for that i get tops and bottoms....only thing is if u go aftermarket i heard u gotta gut out the factory wires from the housing....what do yall think?

Nissan uses matsu$hita ballast from factory. Google and see what you come up with. Also ebay may have a few as well and some companies also make replicas that dont require butchering your wires. Its pretty weird how quickly your bulbs and ballast are going out though. They usually last 4+ years.

I'm not too familiar with the 7th gen, I deal only with my 4th gen, but have you tried theretrofitsource?

I've gotten two Philips 85122+ for under 100 brand new, and two ballasts for around 150ish.

The only issue i have with my after market bulbs i put in is after a few months when i turn them on now the driver bulbs seems to get brighter in stages versus the normal increase in light as it gets to optimal power.My hid guy just gives me new bulbs when this happens.They were cheap and he warrants them so no worrys.i do hear the stock ballasts from honda and nissan do have surging issues over years of use and eventually keep burning bulbs out when in fact the problem is the ballst itself and not the bulbs.

I have always wanted to try 5ks but they were so hard to find. Yea they are out there but they weren't as popular as 5ks and it seemed to have driven the price up some. That was a year ago though... I haven't searched recently.
