Has anyone seen the pics of some of our cars in different countries. Do they have different headlights *** they look like they are diffeerent. they look as though they are clearer and have chrome in the backround.

I agree and a friend of mine speaks and can right German.Saw a light assembly on e-bay and it looked nice.Perhaps I think Carlos from Germany would know?This might solve the poor light out-put of the NX.

He has a connection in Germany where he picked up Euro lights for his VW.Yes he will be looking into it for me. I will keep you posted. If it looks like I can get them I will start a new thread for this item. Im sure a lot of people would like to upgrade the lights.

the overseas lamps use H4's which have a different beam pattern than the 9004's we use, it looks like nissan just changed the backin plate that holds the bulb and put a different diffuser (lense) on it so overs look and operate poorly

Well did some checking.Yeah I could get them they even sell some with washers built in.But they are expensive.About 400 shipped to the states.These are brand new.Trying to find some leads on used headlights no luck so far.Maybe the Newbie from Australia could check for us? What do you say?

not sure how much they go for??
the nx wasnt a popular model when it was released, (2 expensive for what it was) so parts would probably be expensive.

Well I will keep looking. I know the H4 is a superior bulb.And the reflector of the euro set-up looks different.Would the 1600 be any different from the NX 2000?
