Thread: LED HEAD LIGHT LAMP REPLACEMENT FOR NISSAN NAVARA 2003

My right hand headlight has packed up and I've promised the nice Officer who politely pointed it out to me that I would get it fixed pronto.
So who has researched replacing traditional filament lamps with LED?
Is it a straight swap or more complicated than that?
If you have done it, is it worthwhile?
Also if you have done it, what's the Brand, model #, cost and supplier?
Thanks Team!

nope but do know the wiring in the terrano isnt hugely heavy and putting in an extra fuse isnt bad idea if changing stuff.... older brother ran higher spec bulbs for a huge improvement 100/110s think they were called.....the std ones are slightly better than two glowworms holding hands,we replaced the old filiment type spotlights with small repco leds..huge improvement.

chances are you wont get a warrant.
the led's are arranged in a string and the beam pattern will be incorect

in the standard housing, the placement of th filament which is at the focal point will be different to led replacements.
first i suggest measuring the dc voltage at the bulb itself, if its lower than battery voltage fit a relay system. even if its only a volt different thats a lot of light loss

Thats what we have found when the customer has done it

Yep, it's amazing how much loss you can get over wiring. Swapping out to 'whiter' or 'blue' poncy non-LED headlight bulbs might show a considerable difference over the factory type if there's a big drop and that's sorted out. Usually no issue at wof time with the traditional style bulbs too.

I did this for in a 2012 Imprezza and it does make a big difference. The bulbs are pricy though. Narva Sapphire Plus 50. Got them at Repco.

One of these expensive poncy white light bulbs just shat itself after only 3 months. Not impressed! The $20 replacement pair is on its way from Aliexpress. Well see how they go.

replacing cabin lights with LED is well worth it, I did it in the repco carpark one day when I had some time to kill in town.

if you want a different effect from the headlights without getting into murky WOF territory, fitting a LED light bar or some spot lights is another option to consider.

I'd recommend going to the same place for your WOF's then.
I did the LED replacement in my older Prado, and got failed due to a non-standard beam pattern.
