if yours is plug n play as almost was you may need to run some wires across from the left side i took mine under the carpet as there is a crease in the floor panel that runs across near the back door.

[brettj64]

Hello people just a note to any interested in what we did there is only 2 wires that are in the plug for the D S tail light they are the indicator & the brake light, to add the other wires (reverse parker & the earth) we just conected into the wires on the PS & ran wires across under the carpet to the DS we did this to keep it waterproof as there was no channels running across the vehicle that I could see & get access to & did not want to wire to the lights in the bumper bar for the same reason didn't want to pot holes in the rubber gromets. I didn't write the colours down so I can't tell you which wires were used but it is simple to use a test light to identify the right 1's . To make them fit into the original plug I actually recycled some wiring from another wiring loom that went into a plug that was almost the same & removed the connector ends out of that plug so they could be placed into the original nissan plug so in future it is simple to replace the light & wiring if need be.

[Sir Roofy]

thanks for that mate
