Hello everyone,

I have a Qashqai N-Connecta 2020 with the normal headlights and i would like to replace them with the “Bi Led” headlights that came with the Tekna.

Can this be done and is this Plug & Play?

Welcome to the house of fun.

I don’t know whether it’s possible to do this change.
Even if it is possible I can’t imagine it will be "plug and play" as the LED lights move with steering input. I don’t expect that the headlights themselves will be cheap, either.

The halogen lights are not very bright, on my previous QQ I changed mine for Osram Nightbreaker bulbs - a decent improvement.

Welcome to this forum. I suspect the swap would be involved. Go with the brighter bulbs instead.

Somebody in Spain mentioned this desire some months back. The cost is alarmingly high I remember and its the whole headlamp unit and internals. Stick with the brighter halogens as @MikeGC says for about £25. Bit fiddly to change.

The very reason why I elected to go for the Tekna this time - mainly because of the lights.
Thats not to say that I wasnt happy with my previous cars - just the poor headlamps
