Quick answer: Nissan Patrol Y61 and Y62 headlights are not interchangeable. Tangma Craftsman lists a 2005+ Y61 LED headlight upgrade and a separate 2012+ Y62 assembly. Select by chassis generation first, then verify model year, production date, original lighting, connector layout, modules and LHD/RHD beam pattern.

Y61 and Y62 are different platforms
The Patrol name covers multiple vehicle generations. A newer-looking headlight for the Y61 is still designed around Y61 mounting and body geometry; it does not make the part compatible with a Y62. Likewise, the Y62 assembly uses its own housing shape, brackets and electrical requirements.
Before ordering, confirm the chassis from the VIN and compare full front photos, original headlight shape, rear mounting points and connectors. Do not choose from the registration year alone, especially in markets where vehicles can be registered later than their production date.
Compatibility checklist
- Exact chassis: Patrol Y61 or Y62
- VIN and production date
- Original halogen, xenon or LED equipment
- Photos of the original headlight front, rear housing and mounting tabs
- Connector, pin and module photos
- LHD or RHD beam pattern
- Required functions: DRL, low beam, high beam, turn signals and dashboard monitoring
- Local rules for DRL color and beam pattern
Will installation be plug-and-play?
A vehicle-specific assembly can reduce fabrication, but plug-and-play still depends on matching connectors, electrical load and functions. Changing from halogen to LED may require adapters, resistors, modules or configuration changes. Confirm whether the original leveling or warning system is supported.
Does coding need to be done?
Coding may be required on some configurations. The need depends on the vehicle’s original lighting and control system. Test for bulb warnings, flicker, one-sided failure and incorrect DRL or turn-signal behavior before final assembly.
What is included?
Confirm whether the price is for a left/right pair and whether LED drivers, ballasts, control modules, wiring adapters, brackets and instructions are included. A product photo is not a packing list. Ask for written confirmation.
Installation process
- Verify chassis, VIN and original equipment.
- Record existing functions and diagnostic faults.
- Compare new and original housings, tabs and connectors.
- Install required modules or adapters.
- Test both headlights before final grille, bumper or trim reassembly.
- Check low beam, high beam, DRL, turn signals and dashboard warnings.
- Complete required electrical configuration.
- Perform professional beam aiming.
Which option should you buy?
Choose the Y61 product only for a verified Y61 vehicle and the Y62 product only for a verified Y62. Within the correct chassis, compare the supported functions, included modules, total installed cost and local road requirements. Styling and price should be considered only after physical and electrical compatibility are confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
Will Y61 headlights fit a Y62?
No. They are different platforms with different housings, mounting geometry and electrical requirements.
Which year models are compatible?
The Y61 listing starts at 2005 and the Y62 listing starts at 2012. The chassis, VIN and production date must still be checked.
Is coding required?
Possibly. It depends on the original lighting, monitoring system and the modules or adapters supplied.
What modules are included?
Package contents vary. Confirm drivers, ballasts, control modules and wiring adapters in writing.
How difficult is installation?
Intermediate to advanced depending on the vehicle configuration. Professional electrical testing and beam aiming are recommended.
Fitment note: The Patrol model name is not sufficient for ordering. Confirm Y61 or Y62 first.
