I've got a 2014 Qashqai with the new style headlights (Xenon?). I've bought headlight adaptors to drive in France but cannot make head nor tail of the instructions. Anyone done this already and can provide some simple instructions?
Thanks in anticipation,

If they are xenon there is a chance there is a switch / leaver on the back of the light that you can move to select left or right hand drive. I have this on my mini coupe, so there is a chance. Take a look, you may be lucky.

There isn't a factory option for xenon headlights on the J11, they're either halogen or (on the Tekna) LED. If there are xenons in there, they must be aftermarket.

What type of adapters have you bought?
