waltzinblack Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 another thread about this, please dont kill me! Just a quick few things, I PROMISE I have been searching for the answers... just wanted to check. Firstly, are the 2006 model headlights and the HR motor model headlights the same? I've read stories about pre-06 headlights being slightly pants for some people, mine come under that bracket unfortunately! so; Secondly, is it a simple swap to put facelift headlights onto an 04 car? I read through searching that they require a little modification, clipping a wire or something? Could this be attempted by anyone, or am I best leaving a mechanic to it? In the handbook there are a lot of warnings about going near the headlights because of high voltages and stuff? Thirdly and finally, where on Earth can you get a set of facelift lights from? I've read that not only are they hard to get, but they can cost into the THOUSANDS for a pair? Even £500 for a pair of lights seems steep to me! Cheers for any help.

Neilp Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If it's a facelift 06 then it's the same lights as 07. 500quid is cheap for them mate. Remember these are genuine nissan parts, not cheap replica parts. When you considerthe price of a ballast and lamp from Nissan you will see where the price comes from. I'd expect to pay around 600quid or more tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Think Alex had a set for £600 ish which is a good price tbh. Or do what I did and get Husky to replace the hideous orange strip and bulb for a fraction of the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 ahh it's just me being naive and cheap! I mean I'm sure they must be incredibly difficult to produce... but still.. hundreds of pounds for a few fancy light bulbs. haha EDIT @Tarmac, you can do that? just get the bulb changed to a bi-xenon one? Are they still a massive improvement? My older brother had an 08 Zed and his lights were incredibly good, mine on my 04 are mediocre.. even on full beam they aren't hugely better than my little Saxo!

You can't change it to to a bi-xenon. You can change the bulb colour and get rid if the orange reflector down the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well I did wonder that.. after I posting I realised no it wouldnt be that easy. So to get the snazzy awesome headlights you need to buy the whole unit? I suppose if I could find them for £700 I would be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15UL T Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If Alex has sold his I have a set for sale as well with bulbs included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
