Default h.i.d looking like halogen...

some time ago i traded in my red touring for a blue enthusiast dealer said it would be the same except for the seat...what a lying bstrd...found out there was no subwoofer and some other minor details...anyway noticed my lights are yellowish....and that my highbeams are halogen.....is it supposed to be halogen/second question what can options do i have to replace that halogen high beam ( size etc )/...also noticed this small bulb ( yellow ) that is mixing light with my h.i.d lowbeam...could this be the source of the yellowish tint if so again what options do i have....

id appreciate the input from you guys...

What year did you trade for? 03 for 05?

You sure you didnt get suckered into a Base model since you didn't know the Enthusiast doesnt have Bose?

Yes the high beams are halogen, thats on most HID vehicles and on all Nissan equipped with HID.

Well you wern't sure about the Bose. Did you trade for an 05 Enthusiast? Then the HID's will be covered. IF you traded used for used, then no.

And if you did, why go a step down? And one last thing, you had a Touring, did you ever use your brights?

Can you post a picture of the headlight and what your talking about? If you just bought it from a dealer, then take it back and see if its covered.

The high beam is Halogen. Low beam is HID.

Default typing going worse...sorry

i know theres a burn in period and think its past that already...anyway could be just that i need to readjust the level...

oh and new for new / the step down as i told you because i wanted the color blue...actually cost me more too but i figure its cheaper then getting a good paint job round here.

You always lose trading it in, but damn thats a nice chunk there.

I am not sure what the problem is, take it in.
