Zedrush Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 as quoted in my post it is a st .. the same as a UK gt car I think sorry over looked that part, cant even tell from that as I believe Xenons were an optional extra, quite possibly so since yours is closest to UK spec, but cant honestly say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 snarf take the bulb out and get the part number of it. Should reveal all. If Xenons don't get a new one from Nissan. They are seriously expensive to the point where it is cheaper to buy a replacement headlight unit of ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Only US Spec cars had Halogens. Jap/UK cars all specs had Xenons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarf1974 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 can I buy a standard lamp and fit the glass/plastics cover from that onto my headlamp as it is only the glass that is broken and nissan want £1000.00 for a new headlamp.. I have seen us spec headlamps on ebay and have also seen a trick using a oven to remove the glass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
