Xenon to hallogen headlights
Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum. I have a 350Z from 2005 (touring fully loaded) that I bought in the USA and that I would like to bring back to Europe (Switzerland).
Apparently, the legislation is very strict with Xenon headlights and I would need to make modifications worth 3000-4000 dollars!!!
I was wondering if you knew if it was possible to replace the xenons by hallogens (as some 2003 models had). This would avoid having to make too many costly changes.
Another question is related to the GPS: does anyone know if it works in Europe if I buy the europeen DVD from Nissan?
Thanks

WTF!? What does Switzerland have against HID's.
Anyway, I'm no 350z owner (so someone can correct me), but I think all you need is the proper halogen bulb (H1, 9006, etc...). It certainly isn't going to require you to upgrade your fuses, as it's not going to sap as much power. But there is the problem of the HID ballast. You might have to do some re-wiring.
