Nissan Rogue Forum

Hi All.

I picked up my 2011 Rogue SV with the SL package a few days ago. It has HID Xenon headlights. If I knew how, I would post a photo. This is my first post and I have a lot to learn about this Forum.

So far, I like the Rogue but I am having trouble adding numbers to the Bluetooth phone system. The instructions in the owners manual don't match the car. The dealer hasn't been much help.

Thank you for information sharing, it useful to me.

Well, great work! You have helped me to improve my knowledge about this field. Thank you so much for sharing.

is it easy to install these in the rogue? easy access to headlights? just plug and play kit is fine?

as someone who has installed countless HID kits, i can tell you this much:

when the lights turn on, its the igniter that initiates the initial blast of power. It typically takes around to 25,000 volts to start a xenon bulb, but only about 80 to 90 volts to keep it operating once the initial arc has formed(this is where the ballast comes in).

what your seeing is the xenon gas and a small amount of mercury and other metal salts getting super excited by a huge amount of current from the igniter. that color change doesnt mean its brighter, its just bluer! when looking at the Kelvin scale, blue actually means LESS LIGHT.


TO THE GUY IN CANADA:
check to see if your DRL's are not the high-beams like lexus and other cars make them to be. i have never seen DRL's here on rogues in the USA, so i couldnt answer that. if they are infact the high-beams, you can still install HID lights into your low-beams and not be effected by any laws. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET 4200/4300-5000K light bulbs to keep within the OEM look so not to throw off any law enforcement officers.

if the system for Rogue DRL's runs the headlights at full 12v's:
then you can have HID's and just plug & play like normal.

if the system for the rogue runs the headlights at half power, then you have to do this:
you can always just disconnect the bulb you have now, stick the plug into a rubber glove and zip tie it tightly and secure it. install your HID bulb & kit normally, but wire the 2 ballasts to a fuse in the fuse-box that is turned on with the car.
(i did this for my radar detector & GPS - and it instantly turns on with the car being turned on, and instantly turns off with the car being turned off.)
