I have your same problem. They have always hurt my eyes as well. I went to an optometrist and asked him this question. He said that Fluorescent Lights can hurt some peoples eyes. Sometimes they can even throw somebody into a seizure if the person is epileptic, computer screens have the same effect on people. Change all the bulbs you can! The lights can cause irreversible damage to your retina. Good luck and God Bless. And no, You are not weird.

Answer 4

The best headlight technology in the INDUSTRY is High-Intensity-Discharge lights (HID for short).

They are the same kind of technology used to light up stadiums. You will see them on high-end cars like BMW's, Mercedes Benz, Audi, and, as you've pointed out, Nissan Maximas.

If you search the web for "HID kit", you will find some places selling them for around $260 or so. The good thing about HID lights is, they don't rely on a thin filament (as in conventional bulbs), so they do not burn out like regular bulbs do.

They also give out 200% brighter light (measured in lumens) and yet consume 40% less power (35 watts vs 55 watts).

Forget about those "wannabe bulbs" like TrueBlue, SilverStar...etc. These bulbs (some costing as much as $50 or more a pair) try to mimic the "white light" that HID produces by coating their glass surface with a blue coat. While this almost achieves its purpose, it actually cuts down on the actual lumens coming out from the bulb. So a regular bulb will actually be "brighter" than any of these "blue bulbs".

To try to counter this problem, bulb manufacturers try to push more brightness from the bulbs, causing these bulbs to have a typical lifespan of 2-6 months, maybe a year if you're lucky.

Okay, so those are your options.

Now, is it LEGAL for you to put in HID in your 2000 Altima?

The only LEGAL way for you to put HIDs on your car is to get your dealer to install a factory unit - costing $$$$. But since HID was not available on Altimas in 2000, you do not even have this option.

Cars with factory HID are required by law to have automatic headlight leveling devices installed. This will prevent you blinding on-coming drivers, even when you have a heavy load in your trunk causing your car to tilt backward.

They also come with purpose-built reflector with a "fish-eye" projector lens.

If you simply put a HID kit in your Nissan's headlamp reflector, it will not be optimized for that kind of lighting and will blind on-coming traffic even on low-beams. - It is also illegal.

To make it "pseudo-legal", you need to change out your whole headlight assembly to an aftermarket one, then put in the HID kit. I'm using that term because it will still be technically illegal since most of these are only approved for "off-road use" and you still would not have an automatic headlight leveling device. The advantage is you would not blind people with a projector headlamp.

You will see many results when you search "Altima headlamp" online. They are NOT cheap!.

The most sensible thing to do...

With your car being 7 years old, most likely, you are having headlamp lenses that are turning opaque or "frosted" from years of sand/stone impact. If this is the case, just go to places like Autozone and ask for a headlamp polishing kit ($10 or so). This revitalizes your headlamp lenses and gives you more light on the road.

If you need brighter lights, go to Walmart and pick up a pair of Sylvania Xtravision bulbs. They claimed to give 20% more light. But they are not the fancy "blue" bulbs. They are affordable too ($7).
