Has anyone seen these, or know if this brand is any good?
Seems like a good deal for all 4 lamps

I made the mistake on my last rig (2001 Ranger XLT 4X4) of replacing
all the factory lamps with high blues. One ended up exploding and
melting one of my fog lights. I convinced the dealer to warranty
it, but after that, I pulled all the bulbs out and replaced the factory
lamps.
I also changed out the park lights with "extra bright" blue
bulbs. After about a month, one of the bulbs simply broke off the
socket and was lying at the bottom of the signal lens. 
Maybe I just didn't buy good enough quality bulbs, but I won't be doing mods like that again. JMO.

Well I dont know if it makes a difference but the ones I ordered are supposedly good ones, and maybe more importantly the same wattage as the factory bulbs...I saw some that were 80/100 watt, but I was afraid to do that....I replaced some in a previous auto and they worked great, so I wanted to do the Titan too

Slightly off-topic, but it still amazes me that Nissan includes HID lights on a mid-level Altima, but doesn't even offer them on a premium level Titan.
Color me

Doesnt seem to make much sense does it? ..Ya reckon it has anything to do with the ride height?...an Altima rides alot lower than a Titan... Lots of people hate those HID lights when they meet them on a dark road.

Our Titan's headlight height is no higher than some of those big ass SUV's from Cadallac or Lincoln or Lexus or ????

Well, I installed the Xenon bulbs over the long weekend. Went fairly well...I had downloaded instructions on how to change the bulbs somewhere on this forum...(which was very helpful) but my truck only had 7 clips on the grill, not 8...and I only had to remove 2 screws from each headlamp assy, not 3.....All in all, it took about 45 min....For $20 and less than an hours work, I'm pretty pleased with the result.

If you can, I'd like to see some pictures of the results.
