Step-by-step instructions: how to replace lamps in Qashqai 2013

Replacing lamps in Nissan Qashqai does not require special tools, but there are nuances in accessing some nodes. Let's look at the process using an example low beam lamps H7 - the most in demand for replacement.

Turn off the ignition and remove the terminal from the battery (minus)

Clean the headlight from dirt with a damp cloth

Prepare a new lamp (do not touch the bulb with bare hands)

Open the hood and remove the headlight protective cover (turn counterclockwise) -->

Step 1. Removing the old lamp

Remove plastic casing from the back of the headlight (it is fixed by turning it by 30°). Disconnect power connectorby pressing the latch. Carefully remove the lamp by pulling it towards you - it is held on by a spring clip that needs to be bent upward.

Step 2: Install a new lamp

Insert new lamp H7 into the cartridge so that protrusion on the plinth coincided with the groove in the headlight. Secure the spring clip and connect the connector. Make sure the lamp fits tightly - play can cause vibration and premature failure.

Step 3. Check and assembly

Turn on the low beam and check the lamp operation. If it does not light up or blinks, check fuse F37 (10A) in the mounting block. Reinstall the protective cover, making sure it clicks into place.

⚠️ Attention: When replacing the lamp H7 Do not touch the glass flask - grease marks lead to local overheating and shorten its service life. Use gloves or a cloth moistened with alcohol.
💡

If after replacement the lamp quickly burns out, check the voltage in the on-board network with a multimeter. For Qashqai 2013 the norm is 13.8–14.4V. Exceeding up to 14.8V or higher indicates a generator malfunction.

LED modernization: what can be legally installed in Qashqai 2013

Installation of LED lamps in Nissan Qashqai - a popular solution for improving illumination, but not all modifications are permitted by traffic regulations. Let's figure out what LED lamps can be installed without problems, and which ones will lead to a fine or deprivation of rights.

Allowed (without changes in PTS):

  • 🟢 Side lights: LED lamps W5W (For example, Philips LED W5W) - do not require certification if the color is white
  • 🟢 Interior lighting: any LED lamps DE3175 (For example, Osram LEDriving)
  • 🟢 Fog lamps (PTF): LED lamps H11 with markings ECE R19 (For example, Narva LED POWER)

Prohibited (fine 500–3000 rubles):

  • 🔴 Low/high beam: any LED lamps H7/H1, even with a certificate - require changes to the PTS
  • 🔴 Direction indicators: LED lamps PY21W no resistors (cause hyper blinking)
  • 🔴 Brake lights: LED lamps P21/5W with a color temperature above 3000K (considered a design change)

For legal installation LED in head light required:

  1. Get conclusion of preliminary technical examination (ZPTE).
  2. Install lamps with markings ECE R112 or ECE R113 (For example, Osram LEDriving HL).
  3. Make changes to the PTS through the traffic police.
What happens if you put uncertified LEDs in headlights?

If you are stopped by a traffic police inspector, you will be fined 500 rubles. according to Part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for “non-compliance of light with established requirements.” In case of repeated violation - a fine of 3,000 rubles. or deprivation of rights for 1–3 months. In addition, uncertified LED lamps often blind oncoming drivers due to an incorrect light beam, which increases the risk of accidents.

Top 5 mistakes when replacing lamps in Qashqai 2013

Even experienced car owners make mistakes that lead to rapid lamp burnout or electrical damage. We have collected the most common mistakes and explained how to avoid them.

  1. Using high power lamps (For example, H7 100W instead of 55W). This leads to melting of the headlight reflector and loss of the light beam. B Qashqai Only standard power is allowed!
  2. Incorrect installation of the plinth. Lamps H7 And H1 have a guide - if it is not aligned with the groove, the lamp will dangle and quickly fail.
  3. Replacement without disconnecting the battery. In lighting circuits Qashqai there are no fuses for each lamp - a short circuit can damage the control unit BCM.
  4. Ignoring on-board computer errors. After replacing with LED, the code often appears B260A (lamp circuit break). It needs to be reset with a scanner or adapted with resistors.
  5. Buying cheap no-name lamps. They burn out after 1–2 months and can damage the connectors due to poor contact. Optimal choice - Philips, Osram or Narva.
⚠️ Attention: If after replacing the lamp H11 it doesn't light up in the fog lights, check relay K30 in the mounting block (located under the steering wheel). B Qashqai 2013, it often burns out during power surges.

How to choose lamps for Qashqai: halogen vs LED vs xenon

When choosing lamps for Nissan Qashqai It is important to consider not only the price, but also luminous flux, resource And legality. Let's compare three main types:

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about lamps in Nissan Qashqai 2013

Is it possible to install H7 lamps with increased brightness (+150%)?

Yes, but with reservations. Lamp type Osram Night Breaker Laser (+150%) are legal, as they are certified according to ECE R112. However, their real brightness is 30–50% higher than the standard one, and not 150% (this is a marketing ploy). Important: such lamps reduce the life of the headlight reflector due to increased temperature. The best option is Philips X-tremeVision (+130%), which are time-tested.

Why does it blink after replacing the H11 lamp in the PTF?

This is a typical problem when installing LED lamps in Qashqai 2013. Reason - no load per circuit (a halogen lamp consumes 55W, and an LED lamp consumes 10–20W). Solutions:

  1. Install ballast resistor (50W, 6 Ohm) parallel to the lamp.
  2. Use LED lamps with built-in CAN-bus adapter (For example, Morimoto XB).
  3. Disable lamp monitoring via the diagnostic scanner (not recommended - indication of other faults will disappear).

What kind of lamps are in the Qashqai 2013 interior and how to replace them?

B Nissan Qashqai 2013 the following lamps are used for indoor lighting:

  • Interior lamp: DE3175 (10W, baseless). To replace, pry the lampshade with a screwdriver from the side and pull out the lamp.
  • Glove compartment lighting: C5W (5W). The lamp is inserted into the socket without clamps - just pull it towards you.
  • Trunk light: C10W (10W) - similar to the glove compartment.

LED analogues are suitable for all nodes (for example, Osram LEDriving Interior), since they are not regulated by traffic rules.

What should I do if, after replacing the low beam lamp, it quickly burns out?

There are several reasons:

  1. Poor contact in the connector - oxidation or burning. Clean the contacts with sandpaper and treat contact lubricant (For example, Liqui Moly Kontaktreiniger).
  2. Overvoltage in the on-board network (more than 14.5V). Check with a multimeter at idle speed. The norm is 13.8–14.2V.
  3. Headlight vibration - the lamp becomes loose and overheats. Make sure the spring clip secures the plinth tightly.
  4. Fake lamp — buy the original in a trusted store (see the “Where to buy” section).

If the problem persists, check fuse F37 (10A) And relay K27 in the mounting block - they are responsible for the low beam circuit.

Is it possible to install bi-xenon or lenses in Qashqai 2013 headlights?

Technically yes, but legally - only with complete replacement of headlights to certified ones (for example, from Depo or TYC with markings ECE R112). Installing bi-xenon headlights in standard headlights is prohibited for two reasons:

  1. Missing automatic corrector (mandatory for xenon according to GOST R 41.48-2004).
  2. Standard reflectors are not designed for point light source - blinds oncoming drivers.

Alternative: buy ready-made headlight with lens (For example, Morimoto Mini D2S) and register the design change through the traffic police. Cost - from 20,000 rubles. for a couple.
