So I got my new XTrail in Trinidad about a month ago. I am in the US right now, and want to upgrade the headlight bulbs to some bright whites. The good ones are freekin expensive back home....Unfortunately, I did not check the headlight to see what type of the bulb the thing uses, and I can;t depend on my wife to check it for me. What type of bulb would I need to get? I would like to upgrade the park, low and high beam lights to white. Thanks.
It's brand new from the dealership, although the model has been around for a couple of years. I would guess it's a 2004/5 model ??? Doesn't the pic help?
hhmmmm......mines came from Japan...does that make a difference? It's not the GT version though
Mine is from Japan too It shouldn't make a difference as all bulbs are standard on the exy. The difference between models is in the size of the fog light bulbs.

I just ordered two sets of H4's and two H11's on Sunday and because I am a repeat customer they gave me 10% off!. I changed my H11's over three years ago to some unknown brand that I purchased on eBay that are better than the stock but they were never the same quality of my Osrams Silverstars or the Phillip's X-Treme that I have on now. I must say that I have never replaced my H11's I have in now and run them all the time.
At least now I can have the same bulb in both and the same color! Are the new Night Breakers street legal in North America... I do not know but I just want a clean light. I had no problems with the Silverstars (Europe Version) or the X-Treme's), regarding other motorists, but having a better bulb that improves my visibility, I want it...
The Night Breakers are more expensive but I am will ing to pay the price for a better bulb. I will let you know when they arrive. Usually from UK it is 7 days door to door, but one order I did get in two days!
Hope all is well...with all of you and your X-Trails.
Guys.. if I sounded confused.. then I am... sigh... LOL..
No seriously... the new OSRAM Night Breakers are available in all sizes.. H4's and H11's and others... There has never been a new H11 to replace our stocks... except for no name brands on eBay... now there is with the Night Breakers... I am sure they are not DOT (North American approved) .
My order shipped on Sunday... so I will probably get them next week and I will let you know... I changed to the H4 Europe Osram Silverstars which are 20% brighter than the North American version and loved them... then I changed to the H4's Phillips Extreme. earlier in the year..yes they are brighter but different light pattern and I am not that much impressed... so back to the Osram NightBreakers but this time for the H4's and H11's so same color (temperature) and brightness.
Thank you. I will have to wait until I get back to Edmonton in order to get my outer lights sorted out. My fog light lenses are cracked and I have to replace them.
Hi Stephen,
I changed the H4 mains to the Phillips Xtreme also but used the Luminics Yellow for the H11 fogs.
Only wished Lumincs made a 100W version of the yellow, otherwise happy with the setup.
