Replacing lights to Led headlights

Hi,
I saw on a local online auction site Nissan Pulsar LED Headlights. I believe my car does not have them and wondering if I buy these 2 headlamps it would be an easy swap. I mean unbolt the old ones and replace with LEDs and plugin the cable? Is it like this?

Hmmm, possibly but maybe not. I presume the required ballasts etc are all built inside for the different ampage draw etc.
I remember asking Volvo about my old V70 that very query about HID swap back in the day and they said no.
If nobody here has any better answers, ask to speak to your best local Nissan dealership and a technician. Could be a similar setup for Juke & QQ too.
It would be interesting to see them side by side.
Or maybe just buy led replacement bulbs (lowest wattage) and stick them in checking they don't blind others. You would have to sap back for MOT tho!
I take it you've swapped the full beam already since they are totally useless (same for us with led versions)?
Good luck.
