Hi,Having been an owner of 3 Jukes, yesterday I got my first Qashqai N-Tec. I am quite a hot-headed buyer and for some reason, I thought the N-Tec does have the BI-Led headlights. Of course I was wrong but now it is too late. Being used to Xenons (my last facelifted Juke had it), I would like to get it replaced but I have no idea whether it is even possible to replace the halogen headlights with these BI-led ones, not sure about the power demands, dimensions of the lamp etc. Would they do it in the Nissan garage? Any idea about the price?ThanksP.

Best scenario is that you need to replace hole unit because you can not change lamps, no one can, not even Nissan i think.

Sorry, maybe it is my English - what I mean is to replace the whole light/lamp device.

I would imagine you can do this quite easily but the cost would be prohibitive. I dread to think what Nissan would want for two new headlight units #overpriced parts

So I was told it is technically impossible.

It's technically possible but you will need to replace the whole headlamp assembly/cluster. The bulbs cannot be interchanged.

I imagine that a new set would be quite pricey, but you could ask the dealer :)

£447 each side for genuine new Nissan ones on E Bay; there are also some 2nd hand ones from QQ's that had crashed presumably.

A nearside one for £99 too.

Sure he can, but he must install also headlamp levelizer on the rear axle. Then the sensor should be initialized /calibrated and that's it.
If I would have halogen headlights on my car, I would upgrade it as well. LED headlights can be purchased on reasonable price on ebay + search for breaking J11 and buy headlamps levelizer yet.
