Philips claims 80% brighter, reviews say 0-25% brighter. A 2 pack is $30 though, seems worth it for even a hair improvement until I can get something better set up The initial post regarding this begs the question, "Are there brighter bulbs that are not DOT approved?" 0-25% improvement ma...

How much brighter are the sylvania and philips bulbs mentioned here? I bought some pricey sylvanias when I got the truck, not sure which model... I didn't appreciate much in the way of increased brightness... Coming from HIDs to the stock lights on the Pathfinder is a horrible situation.

Re: Lightwerkz HID Retrofit

So, after a couple big storms up here in northern Vermont, I have gone beyond disliking my headlight quality (2008 Pathy) and borderline refusing to drive at night or in storms. I may have bad bulbs in already poorly designed headlights, but I need a change. I'm a little bit uncomfortable with doin...

At one point or another I've used all of the above. I've never had an issue with the rotors. As a rule I would not seek out "cheap" brake parts, less expensive maybe... I would regard those brands as OK!

Anyone ever use the Walker Cats? Seem cheap enough and being a direct fit would make me want to tackle it. These are the secondary ones right... Should O2 sensors be replaced at the same time? Will the truck adjust on its own after replacing these? Dealer told me I had a bad cat code at my last oil ...

I'm going to buy a kit and retrofit mine. seems easy enough and only costs around $350. Please take plenty of pics as you go. I bought an extra pair...

the spares are typically steel wheels and not the stock alloys. but yes it will fit a full size spare. My truck is an 05 LE and it has a full sized spare identical to thestock rim with TPMS and all... weird, must be a LE vs SE thing. I personally like the steelies they stuff under the rigs, I wish ...

I had the same/similar issue... and discovered that there was a small pinhole near the radiator cap on the back side facing the engine. I never saw a drop of fluid. Spurred me to REPLACE the radiator, as I was already leery of the issues with the barrier between the transmission fluid and antifreeze...

If it's contaminated then the milkshake will show on the dip stick as well. You can go to a Nissan Dealer and have the service history pulled using the VIN. It may show that it had the issue and was fixed under warranty. Also, the warranty extension is 96mo and/or 80K miles if memory serves so it wo...
