Update : I have removed HID / LED and now gone with the Halogen lamps by Philips. I would recommend sticking with Halogen Type globes as these projectors are not meant for any other bulb type and projection is not that great for other globe types.
@@muchammadrizqy3094 most likely the beeam shape got messed up. that's what you get when use other type bulbs. result - not so great vision but great blinding action for oncoming traffic. ;)
@@muchammadrizqy3094 it depends. the problem is in the position of the light source. The lamp is built for a light emitting filament to be in the exact position. If that position changes, it's all messed up.
@@muchammadrizqy3094 Those projectors were not made for something like HID or LED which caused the light to disperse in inappropriate manner and hence went back to halogens.
I've been on that road. Returned to halogen bulb +150% from Osram whithout results. Finnaly, after i discovered that projector mirrors was burned, i went on bi-led projector way. More complicated but with extraordinary results.
Thanks for letting us know! Would you please be able to share what you have now ? I have sadly sold my Nissan Xtrail and replaced it with Toyota Crown GRS204 currently on ship from Japan
@@letmereviewit I bought 2x 2.5" bi-led projectors from aliexpress, 1 broken headlight from scrap to test fit and i made an adapter frame inside headlight to put the new led projector. Led driver glued inside, all remains stock from outside, sharp cutoff light, not blinding other drivers and a change in luminosity like day and night. The downside is time consumed to remove bumper, headlights, cook headlight to remove lens, dissasembling, etc.
Hi, I can see your front side lights are LED type. I’ve replaced the 4 halogen 5W T10 bulbs with different types of LED, and have not managed to get all 4 working, maximum 2 on one side only. Could you tell me which ones you used, please
@@letmereviewit Hey man. Guess what? I’ve just tried them as you said, positive and negative, and got them all working. Not even my mechanic knew about that!!! Thank you very much indeed. It was driving me mad. 😊
@@user-nw4gp8xu5w They were some 100W generic ones but I do not recommend them. Get Phillips ones or GE ones if you like. I did not even lik HID ones as they were very blue and too much chopping and cutting needed.
There are quiet a different models in X-trail depending on the location of the vehicle. High beam mostly are H1, but I'd recommend you checking it over once before committing to buy a new pair

Thank you. I changed the globe today with your videos help.
Excellent!
This is a great, simple but technically adequate video. Perfect for the weekend mechanic, Thanks,
Thank you :)

Hello!! Im glad i saw this video for it erases all doubts.. The drl or the L shape for minds arent working. Is it the parking light by chance?
The white ones in my video are that one. normally, they have Yellow Halogen Globes. You can replace them with T10 bulbs
@@letmereviewit just to clarify on the amount, it's 1 pair per headlamp right
@@shemaradams561 I cannot remember to be honest its been a while since I changed them last but you might be right :)
@@letmereviewit oh I understand, I must say it's a very reliable vehicle
I'd like to see how you fitted the projectors.
Hey mate, those are factory projector lights
@@letmereviewit Oh, ok My one has got halogen bulbs.
I put LED projectors in y other car, much better than HID projectors.
Are the high beam bulbs different from the low beam? And what is the fog light bulb number?
Great
Don’t get your hand with metal bangle anywhere near electrical connections….bad burns may result.
Good point!
Hi,
I can see your front side lights are LED type. I’ve replaced the 4 halogen 5W T10 bulbs with different types of LED, and have not managed to get all 4 working, maximum 2 on one side only.
Could you tell me which ones you used, please
Are you referring to the parking lights ? If am not mistaken they are t10
@@letmereviewit Yes. The Parking, definitely T10. But what make and model of LED bulb? None of mine worked so far.
@@Tets18 Just get any, remember the LED bulbs have Negative positive (some of them) , so you need to put them both ways to see which side works
@@letmereviewit Great.
I’ll try them again over the weekend .
Many thanks

What is the L shaped light called?
Mine isn’t working that part of the light
Those are T10 LED globes if am not wrong. 2 Of them in each Parking light
3:00 to remove the annoying clips to get to the left hand side lights. Youre welcome.
There is a lot of space in the engine compartment but some tight corners for sure.
Hi.Is the bulb type H11?
Yes, Correct. Bulb is H11 for Nissan X-trail T31 projector headlamps. The reflector ones from my memory are H4
Thank you for replying. My car is same T31 2012 ST-L. I’ll try to replace them too. Your movie will help me a lot!
Oh and I’m wondering if you could tell me which brand’s LED bulbs are they?Does it have enough space to put the cover back?
@@user-nw4gp8xu5w They were some 100W generic ones but I do not recommend them. Get Phillips ones or GE ones if you like. I did not even lik HID ones as they were very blue and too much chopping and cutting needed.
Okay I’ll try it. Cheers!
