Does the '14 have the plastic shrouds that go around the bulbs?
Did you use H7 or H7C/H7R bulbs?

I don't mean on the wire side, but on the xenon side, inside the headlight housing. On the 2011's (and presumbly the 2012 and 2013's) there is a chrome-painted plastic that is in front of and slightly around the the tip of the bulb. I'm curious if the 2014's have that.Nope. It has the rubber accordion shroud.
Just a set of regular H7's.Does the '14 have the plastic shrouds that go around the bulbs?
Yes they do.

What is the cost of upgrade to HID? What are the intensity ranges?
Urban Brawler would be better choice of the two.

You probably had some "high beam specific" hid bulbs which run a bit longer. The regular H7 bulbs I had fit just fine without touching the shroud and nothing melted anywhere.The issue I ran into on my 2011 is that the H7 HID's were longer than the standard bulbs and those shrouds prevented the bulbs from inserting all the way. So I got some H7C's which are the same length as standard halogen bulbs but the return wire rests on the plastic shroud. I decided not to use them for fear of melting and potentially burning the shrouds.
They were not "high beam specific". Both sets of H7 HIDs had the light source at the same offset from the base as the halogen H7.You probably had some "high beam specific" hid bulbs which run a bit longer.

I'd like to add HIDs to my 2014, but shouldn't we be installing an H7 and an H4 ? Or does it matter ?Well, does it? I ask because I have a set of H7s that I'd love to install. All this talk of bulb length and burning things concerns me enough to hold off a bit until someone tells me they have a good install on a 2011-2013 model. I ain't in the bidness of being a pioneer. Those folks usually get eaten by something or each other.![]()
Excellent information! I love specifics.Ok guys check this out. I'm talking about the 14' N1K since I didn't own the previous years I can't say for sure, but it's safe to assume the headlights are the same.
1) Both bulbs are H7 Hi/Low
2) No melting and I'm running 55W not the regular 35W.
3) Any regular H7 HID kit will work the bulbs clear the length. I inserted them all the way down and clamped them in with the original H7 clamps no issues whatsoever.
4) For the side marker LED lights you can get 194 led bulbs on ebay and Walmart lol just found out go ogling that Walmart has them too.
Walmart: IPCW CWB-194LW20 LED Bulb 194 Waffle Mount Pair 360-Degree White
Now stop the fear and go slap on some Hid's on your ninjas already! Lol
Nice! Post some pics once you get them installed.got mine, just waiting for them to come in, also just ordered the led for the side marker lights
