Hi everyone,

Just in the process of buying a 2010 n-tec dci 4wd 2.0litre. Quick question as I'm totally new to nissans (getting rid of our ST) the newer models have DRL'S fitted as standard is it a easy task to swap the headlights around, or is it a case of chopping wires ect.

Thanks in advance

Kris

You are looking at installing a completely different designed or shape of Headlight into a totally different designed body J10 against the J11. This can only mean drastic modifications, wiring, time and naturally costs. Take a look on the web there are a lot of DRL's available as after market parts, not as nice as the J11 but they might meet your needs - Dave ;)
