Cheers John.
P.S. so as your pics show your tail lights also work am I better off buying on eBay the replacement left and right fully wired lights and install them with myself running the wires across?
Cheers.
HI John
Putting in the new lights is a bit more involved but can be done
Let me know if you’re going to do this and I will try and make a step by step guide. EBay has the lights for around the $130 mark now cheap as chips, to buy the factory ones would cost the same as buying another 4wd

Great, thanks for that. This will be a nice little project for a rainy day. Still can't believe they don't come with lights wired in.

Yeah same mate its something to do with the ADR, i was told dont know if its true but its because you cant see the drivers side lights on a angle because of the wheel on the back door?

Hi, a mate suggested I use LED's so as not to put to much drain on the electrical circuit. Anyone have any views/ideas on that?
Also where can I source the globes and globe holders etc? I've had a look on ebay but may be searching in the wrong area.
Appreciate any advice.
Cheers

I was instructed not to use led as they were not bright enough.
Yes it will put a small drain on the tail and brake lights and when towing a trailer you might blow a fuse BUT i was told by Nissan that one of the fuses either brake or tail, i cant remember now will blow when using a trailer anyway and that they replace it with a extra +5 or +10 amp fuse.

The only fuse I’ve ever blown that has given me any problems was the reverse fuses; took the whole car out of action. It wouldn’t start, lost all gears while I was driving and come to a stop. Then I got towed to Nissan who charged me $250 to fix it, of course I told them to piss off because it was only 3 weeks old and under warranty.
