I've done it once at ~6 months, going to target every 4-6 months. It stays pretty slippery feeling and easy to clean, etc.

@Zen_master I used Morimoto RetroRubber OEM grade sealant to add an extra layer of rubber over the seam between the lens and housing. I didn't heat it up or anything, I just pulled and stretched the rubber along the seam and pushed it into the gap as a "just in case" layer. Have done this on a ...

I used this for $16 to reprogram my sensors and skipped the air pressure game:

Went back and looked and didn't see any more, but I think it was the usual thing. Same unit, different sellers.

That being said, now that I look closer, these aren't LED projectors, they are projectors for halogen bulbs. So probably a little better than stock but not like the LED projectors I ...

I see plenty of other listings for the same thing at around $300. If I hadn't have already gone with HIDprojectors.com I'd be jumping on this.

The V-6 pump goes for $343 from Nissan?

My pump is fine but the leaky hoses are getting bad.

Some cursory "research" on the web suggests that LEDs in an OEM housing designed for halogen bulbs is not a good idea. Does anyone have experience just swapping out halogen bulbs and replacing with LED - and what was the result?

If you Google "frontier forum katana bulbs" you will find a lot of ...

Thanks, ShipFixer.

Now I just need to figure out a good way to clean up the housing that is starting to cloud.

Wet sanding and polish with an orbital will get it clear, but require regular touch ups since the factory UV coating is no longer effective and/or gone. Headlight protective film or ...

The Katana bulbs are here:

KATANA 9007 HB5 LED Light Bulbs 16000LM 70W 6500K Cool White Extreme Bright Pair

These are popular across all of the Frontier/XTerra forums too. I have tried several and these are the most focused of all so far. They are still ...

I used Phillips and Sylvania "extra" halogens as well as most of the LED bulbs out there. I prefer the Katana LEDs over any of the halogen options but they still throw light everywhere.

I got a set of projectors in stock housings made by hidprojectors.com and it blows any bulb upgrade out of the ...

My Pathfinder still has a lifetime contract, but I've been looking for something waaaay different for my garage. Had to be the hard-to-find blue to match!

The Amazon and Ace Hardware stuff works just fine, and have for many years now. The only functional difference I see is the plastic casing of the Ace Hardware key is a two pieces of plastic snapped together, while the OEM key is fuzed with a seam. I have no idea if the Ace Hardware key is watertight ...

I get keys from Ace Hardware pretty cheaply. Forget how much. Fobs from Amazon for $12/pair:

You won't see anything till they just start misfiring unfortunately.

Aside from Rock Auto, the Autozone cost for their store brands ranges from$73-$90, and I went through two of them when I had misfires at around 200K. Getting six Z1's if they're really rated for higher output and longer lifespan ...
