This Nissan Teana came in for a headlight and fog-light upgrade. The factory lighting was replaced with 3-Cup Reflector Bi-LED Projectors, NaoEvo H11 180W LEDs and NaoEvo Tri-Color Fog Light LEDs.
The upgrade covered the main headlights, full beams and fog lights.
The Teana's Lighting Upgrade
The original setup used Xenon and halogen bulbs across the headlights and fog lights.
For this vehicle, the setup was changed as follows:
- H11 Xenon → 3-Cup Reflector Bi-LED Projectors
- H11 Halogen full beam → NaoEvo H11 180W LED bulbs
- H11 Halogen fog lights → NaoEvo Tri-Color Fog Light LED bulbs
The result is a complete change to the vehicle's front lighting without relying on a bulb swap alone.
3-Cup Reflector Bi-LED Projectors
The main headlights were upgraded to 3-Cup Reflector Bi-LED Projectors. The projector provides the low and high beam functions through its optical system, giving the Teana a defined beam rather than simply adding a higher-output bulb to the existing housing.
For a retrofit like this, positioning matters. The projector has to sit correctly in the headlight housing and the finished beam needs to be aligned properly once the installation is complete.
NaoEvo H11 180W LEDs
The factory H11 full-beam bulbs were replaced with NaoEvo H11 180W LED bulbs. These provide additional forward light when the full beam is being used, particularly on darker roads where there is little ambient lighting.
The H11 LEDs work alongside the Bi-LED projectors rather than replacing their role.
NaoEvo Tri-Color Fog Lights
The factory H11 fog-light bulbs were also replaced with NaoEvo Tri-Color Fog Light LED bulbs. The tri-color function gives the driver different colour options from the same fog-light setup.
Because the fog lights sit low on the front of the Teana, they provide a separate source of illumination closer to the road surface. This makes them useful alongside the main headlights, especially when conditions change.
Installation and Beam Alignment
A projector retrofit requires more than fitting the new components into the existing housing. The projectors need to be positioned correctly, the lighting components need to be securely installed, and the final beam needs to be aligned.
Beam alignment is particularly important after a projector installation. The aim is to keep the low beam properly positioned on the road and avoid unnecessarily directing light toward oncoming traffic.
At Frame Frontiers, beam alignment is part of the installation rather than an afterthought.
The Finished Setup
The completed Nissan Teana now runs:
- 3-Cup Reflector Bi-LED Projectors for the main headlights
- NaoEvo H11 180W LEDs for the full beams
- NaoEvo Tri-Color Fog Light LEDs for the fog lights
It is a straightforward example of why a complete lighting upgrade can involve more than changing the original bulbs. The projector, full beam and fog lights each have their own job, and the final result depends on how the three work together.
NaoEvo: Built for the road, not the hype.
