Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017–2021)

Post by nikolakis »

Hello all,

Recently I bought a Nissan Qashqai J11b (2018 model). The model that I bought is the N-Connecta.
What I'm looking for, is if it possible to replace the headlights with the ones of Tekna model (Signature LED Headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting System and Auto Leveling)?? Do you know if that is posible? Did someone has already tried this modification?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't recall anyone attempting that with the J11A and I suspect it would be expensive even if possible. Buy a Tekna instead...

Thank you very much for your response.
It seems pretty difficult to sell my 2 month Qashqai for buying a new Tekna one. It was my mistake that I didn't bought Tekna from the beginning..
But anyway If you also know if this modification is possible I really appreciate your help. :)

Don't know what country you're in, as you haven't included in your FORUM signature, but if in UK, plenty of on line vehicle breakers to check. Obviously a lot of QQ's on road here.

I'm from Greece where I haven't seen ever a Techna model (neither in the dealership nor in the road :( ..).

Is it really worth doing though. J11A headlights are over €500 each on eBay for just the light unit.

Did you by chance seen also J11B headlights? Because I haven't found them until now.
Also, do I need only the headlights or more parts for using the adaptive headlights??

Thank you very much for your help.

Seems like a hell of a lot of cost and effort for very little gain.

Just get some decent led bulbs and make sure they are properly aligned.
