Now there are several things we can try to take care of this problem: Hence eventhough the shutter in the healight flip to hi-beam mode, you have no light source coming out. In your retrofit from halogen, when you activated the hi beam, the power to the HID-bulb is cut off by the IPDM E/R. Hence, by activating hi beam from the light switch, you activated the projector shutter inside the headlight. This six extra bullets match exactly to the 6 bullets of the subsection "LOW BEAM OPERATION" įor HID, the IPDM will power HID bulb continuously. Under xenon type (LT-9), there are 6 extra bullets more than the halogen. Compare them side by side, you will see the difference. See under the subheading "High Beam Operation/Flash-to-pass operation". Hope this eliminate the hesistation to retrofit!Ĭlick to expand.I analyzed the wiring diagram of halogen versus xenon type from the repair manual. The cost: i did it on my audi, cost around $1,100. put relays and proper wiring harness between power source VDC and the ballast Philips and hella ballast are used in most oem xenon: audi, bmw, mercedez buy hi-quality ballast like philips or hella so that it wil shutt off by itself during accident/impact, hence no electric shock potential. UNlike 9007 halogen bulb, it is dual filament right? NO DUAL FILAMENT HID BEAM EXIST OUT THERE. must not loose your hi -beam (this mute the fitting of rebased HID kit, because if you use 9007 HID kit, you will loose hi beam). elimnate the reflector surface in your current halogen headlamp. properly aim your HID with proper cut off _/. Not the blue bulb those honda rice boy put into their heavily mod civic! These are the cause for the bluish difrraction of HID beam. use hi quality bi-xenon projectors in your halogen headlamp. So, if one does retrofit HID, be carefull ~ When i say proper, it means: But if you are involve in an accident and this improper retrofit of HID is the one causing the accident (too much glare, blinding etc), then you can be sued. Of course, if you reftrofit it improperly like: fitting rebased HID D2S bulb kit into current halogen enclosure, this is illegal!Ĭops, will not caught you, as they most likely will not have a clueh what is the 'right ' HID and wrong 'hid'. Then there is no difference between the oem and the retrofit. If the correct retrofit process is per oem spec or even exceed oem Maybe you can pm me, it is nice to have a buddy in this retrofit venture.I am in no hurry to do the retrofit, but for now certainly i will do it in a month or two. One also needs to tap to the batery + terminal using a relay and find a good ground in the engine bay to ground the ballast of the HID.įYI, me and a bunch of friend in college did retrofit to my other car that i recently sold. The easier way to retrofit HID to halogen Murano is to take out the halogen headlamp, custom fit hella bi-xenon projector into it, use manual leveler. Why? BEcause the oem xenon headlight has all wiring harness ready to be pluggeg into a murano that is meant to have HID.Ī murano that meant to have HID have pre-wired harness in the engine cabin: I am in the processs of figuring this my self.īuying the oem xenon headlamp will complicate the matters here.
