IT CAN BE DONE EASILY!

Many Murano owners including myself, with the desire to swap out their OEM halogen headlight assemblies have been able to follow on the heels of the pioneers that spent time determining first if it was possible, and second, how to get the high beams to function. FYI - The Murano HID headlights incorporate high quality projectors, which take the light output from the gas filled D2S 4300K Xenon bulbs, and evenly blend and focus its spectrum and project it forward through a controlled aperature. This aperature is actually a solenoid controlled shutter mechanism, that raises the cut-off point of the projected light when the high beam stalk is activated. Much the same as opening your eyelid further, this allows the light to exit at a higher point, resulting in a beam projected further down the road. This conversion is simple and can be done by anyone with a few simple hand tools. Expect the entire process to take 2-4 hours for both headlights depending on your skills.

Thanks goes out to many forum members for their contributions in this conversion, namely in no particular order:

Does anyone know if a headlight leveling sensor can be added for auto-leveling of the HIDs?
I know they do exist as EU MO regulatory need to have such an auto-leveling system. My current HID lamps are EU so they are equipped for a leveling sensors, but the question here is what other modifications and/or modules I would need.

Hi there, I am new here and just happen to be working on my GF's Mo. its a base model and I just happen to also have access to a complete Mo with the Xenon lights. The engin is out of the donor Mo, and I was thinking I may be able to just follow the wiring and transfer whats needed from one mo to the other so I can use the Adjustment and the HID's without any modification. Has anyone tried this? Am I dreaming and this is impossible?

Thanks!
