Same here 99% of my posts are on PC. Makes this website much easier to use.

Yeah my phone puts the forum in a weird order and makes it hard to scroll through posts. I usually make the posts on my laptop and then upload pics from my phone later. Sorry for the mixup, totally my bad, I love reading your posts btw. Very informative, professional, and helpful. You have no idea how much I’ve used them to help me with my build and for inspiration.

Dude have you seen this one? I frequent the "pull it yourself" junkyards. I go at least a few times a year. Those types are fun. My lightning fast brain realized that the 96-2004 Pathfinders use identical 4x4 and Auto Shifter as the Frontier except they're leather wrapped. I don't know if all Pathfinders come that way but a whole lot did. They really class up the interior especially if you have a leather wrapped steering wheel to match - but regardless the leather wrapped shifters are a nice touch.

Easy little upgrade to do. The 4x4 Shifters are hard to get off if never taken off before. Wrap a thick rag around it and get a big pair of vice grips and turn it. The Shifter is threaded but i think they use some type of lock tight.

Just Intalled Some Leather Wrapped Shifters to Match My...

Went to the junkyard yesterday and got these nice Leather Wrapped Shifters out of a '98 Pathfinder. Our Trucks didn't have an option for them. Just that standard plastic rubber style. They're identical to ours and the OD button is in the same place. They're in great shape and match my Steering...

They came in yesterday. Helping a friend finish up some work on a Xterra. Probably a couple days til i get to them. Haven't looked real hard at them but look alright and look like they'll fit right in. Mounting looks like obvious 98-00's. Super fast ship from Taiwan or wherever they came from

Awesome man, let me know when you get them installed I’m really interested in seeing what they look like and how they perform. They look pretty decent guess it’s just a matter of durability and performance now.

Reminds me of that old Magazine, "Mini Truckin" - Those slammed to the ground Nissans just quit looking any good after the hardbody - Pre Facelift was alright and the Facelifted Frontier looked absolutely terrible slammed.

This is why I have a hard time getting rid of my 1989 Isuzu Space Cab, 1990’s japanese trucks were the coolest they ever were. Except for the might max that thing was just stupid.

Have you installed the new headlights yet? I am really curious to see how they look and perform. Also does the ring have a bulb behind it that could be replaced to make them look less blue? Thanks man, hope you're doing well.

I'll get to it in next day or 2. It has some extra wires i noticed like with the ones i bought for my Focus. I have some projectors VERY SIMILAR to these that came in for the Frontier. For the Focus the Brights are SUPER IMPRESSIVE the lows are ehhhh. They're alright. The light is good but the pattern is shyt. Hopefully these for the Frontier will be better

This is what i have on my Ford Focus - i'm expecting similar results but we'll see

The Blue input is where you hook your factory plug up. The Black Box i'm guessing is a Power Box and the little box with the red, white, black is for some other power. Red & White are hot but idk if they both need constant hot or if only one needs a constant and the other is switched power. I just messaged the seller for the instruction. Looks like they speak english so thats good. I'll look more for the instructions tho. Thought i saw them yesterday explaining how to hook the red, white, black wire up. Just cleaned up my house yesterday and noticed the instruction. It was the 1st time i'd seen them. No telling where i placed them - thought i put them in the box but they're not there

The Seller messaged me back. That little box with the red, white, and black wires are just for the Halo. You wire them into your Parking Lights. Pretty sure the projectors for my Focus are like that too.

Ok so I assume the halos will come on with the blinker/parking lights? That’s definitely a cool addition. From the pictures the halo looks really blue, if they could be made to have a more clear white light they would look sick. Match them with some white LEDs in the fog lights and can’t beat that. Definitely will give the truck a nice touch, since the only running lights are the parking lights.

Did you put LEDs in your fog lights and parking lights? Would you mind sending me the link to where you got them from, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve not looked into getting bulbs for the fog lights but I would definitely want them to match the headlights and parking lights.
