Default Need Help with headlights

I'm looking at buying some new HID Halogen headlights for my car, I have the factory ones in right now and I was right about to buy them until people started telling me I need things like HID conversion kits and I called my Nissan dealership and I was told another thing that would cost 1300$ a headlight, just wondering what I actually need to install the headlights. Here's a links of the ones I'm looking into buying http://www.protuninglab.com/hidxe03ni35h4.html , Thanks!

I'd recommend the depo HR style black housing headlights, you can find them on ebay.

All you'll need is D2s headlight bulbs, turn signal bulbs and the rest is plug and play.

^^ Depo is a common alternative if you don't want to pick up an OEM ($$) set.

You have two options

You can either get an hid conversion kit that comes with everything you need including bulbs, but that will only give you hid low beams. Youd have to buy another kit for the high beams if you want hid all around. I always went through diodedynamics as they always took care of me and have great customer service. I believe the kit i got from them was 80 bucks and I never had a problem with them.

Your other option is to get the 06+ headlights and replace your current assemblies. This will give you hid on both low and high beam but is more costly as you are buying two headlight assemblies.

Upgrade to the 06+ blacked out - Depo headlights on Ebay for only $320 for the pair. Get morimoto D2S HID bulbs & new turn signal bulbs. If you already have HID kit in you 04, swap that over, and if not you can pick up an aftermarket HID kit for under $100 easily these days. That's cheaper than those headlights you posted and probably better quality

^ Depends what you are swapping from. If you already have 03-05 OEM Hid's, and you want to move to 06+ projectors, then yes, just change the bulbs and complete the swap. If you already have oem 06+ headlights, the bulbs are the same as 06+ depo headlights from ebay.. I don't know anything about the headlights the OP Posted in the 1st post.
