Head light replacement

[kimothy]

I need help with headlight replacement. I have 2012 qx56 and the headlights on that year are awful. Hard for me to see at night. I'm looking for a halogen or led replacement. Does anybody have any ideas on replacement lenses for front headlights??

The stock D2S bulbs aren’t that great to begin with. One of the first exterior mods I did almost 6 years ago was installing a set of Osram Xenarc 66240 CBB D2S bulbs.

So you change the bulbs was that difficult? I was wondering if i could use the headlamps from the q80 that has the cat eyes? Any thoughts?

Changing the bulbs requires removing the inner fender liners, at least the front half to gain access to the back of the headlights.

The 15-17 headlights bolt on and several have done it already. Some with and without the 15-17 bumpers as well. I actually was going to do the same thing but I like my "modified" headlights where I DIY'd custom DRLs.
