350z HID kit concerns.
Hey everyone. I own an 03 350z enthusiast model. Just have a few questions as far as HID kits go. I recently purchased a zentec (trash) 8000k kit. Needless to say as expected one of the lights went out 35 min after installation. No I did not touch the bulb and yes I made sure they were clean going in. Just assuming that you get what you pay for :/ Anyways to the point. I have been searching the HID kit threads on here and can't find any relatively recent ones. I am wanting some thoughts on a decent kit out there that isn't going to go out the same day I install it Any thoughts on models/brands/ watts? anything will help. Thanks.

The bulbs that I took out were not HID's... they were just a two prong standard bulb :/ I'm now starting to think that the owner of this car before me has replaced the headlight assemblies.

My 03 Enthusiast came equipped with HID as well. The base models come with halogen headlight assemblies that use a 6 prong connector. HID ready models come with a 8 prong connector, so you could check that out first to see if the previous owner did some kind of modification *that would have been foolish on their part if you ask me*. Like everyone else said all you should have needed to do was change the bulbs on your car because it should be HID equipped.

Can someone without trolling answer this question.. My vin # pulls up my car as an enthusiast model.. I bought it titled as enthusiast but yet it has all cloth interior and no cruise.. Is it possible that it's just a base?! Is there a certain way to tell what trim it is?

Could be a possibility.. I know the headlights have been replaced. They are definitely not oem. I'm just going to take in that it's a base model. No cruise. Nothing extra.. just a beefy motor hehe, it dyno'd 244 with only a borla catback and an AEM short ram.. so I guess it being a little beefy on the motor is a plus.

Then again my car was never sold, it was a Nissan executive's at US Headquarters. Got it with 2k miles fresh from Tennessee.
I don't mind not having cruise or other stuff, however I do wish I had a LSD

Regarding the HIDs, I have had GREAT experience from HIDEXTRA.com. Out of the 5 kits I bought (for girlfriend, family, and friends) only 1 bulb went out after about 2 years.

Wow! Thank you That's what I was wanting to hear when starting this thread lol. I'll check them out. I've already went through two bulbs with this crap Xentec.. Get what you pay for. Once of the ballasts went out too. >_< Did you get the 55w or the 35?

Glad the OP never had a wrecked car. But in response to this..It seems Nissan is becoming quite the misrepresenting company now. haha. I have Xentec in my integra that the gf drives and I had them in since Jan 12 and none have blown. Only issue I had was my ballast went when I did a engine bay wash and one of them got wet. It sent it back to them saying it failed and they replaced it.
