Good evening all.
I'm sorry if this has been spoken about previously but I am new to this forum and haven't used a forum before.
I have a 2016 tekna and a 2015 tekna (wife and daughter) one of them has engine issues turbo ran up and f*cked engine. Now that one has led head lights and I'm wondering if you can just swap them over or is it more involved than that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
Rob

Although the housings are very similar dimensionally , I seem to recall that the plug connections are different.
Also , if the headlamp features a levelling aid , then a standard car wont be equipped for the signal inputs required

Added to this - there could be lamp control unit issues too to overcome

Thank you for replying I had a feeling that being nissan it wasn't as easy a just swapping them. It really wouldn't be as easy as that.
Thank you again for your help

Ipdm coding is different for a halogen type headlighting system and led system, if you put led headlamps in then they will blink really fast intermittently and start stop light will come on.
