    Rear Lights

    Hi there,

    Can someone help me out with an issue on the rear lights.
    The lights on the rear bumper work, however the lights fitted on the sides of the body panel don't.

    Is this normal?

    Regards

    AG

    Yep - another thread just recently on this one too mate - bloody Nissan in their wisdom ruled them out as they are blocked at certain angles by the spare wheel, subsequently they put the ones in the bumper and left the others as blanks?? Cost saving exercise got to ridiculous levels I would suggest.

    Not overly difficult to wire them up if you're half handy though.

    I've been wanting to do this on my GQ for ages as well. I'm guessing it would be basically the same process, may be a stoopid question, but does anyone know if you can get aftermarket ones for a GQ with the looms etc already in them that you can just plug and play? I don't have any issues with having to wire them in, but I'm lazy...

    The lights you can definitely get from Bursons or Repco - not sure on getting the looms though ... haven't seen them, but considering the lights are sold, you'd think that maybe someone realises the demand and has done it!

    Chers Bigrig, I might do a bit of investigating over the weekend and see what I can find out. If I get some good/handy info, I shall post it!

    Plenty of sellers on E-Bay with kits to do this conversion on GU's, not sure on GQ's though.

    There has to be a way to do it, I just read back through im2extreems christmas tree thread and Warnie did the conversion on his GQ, I however want to keep the lights in the bumper cos I reckon it will look killer with the double set. Worst case scenario, I'll just have to make up my own wiring, but I'm not too sure about which bulbs holders etc to use. I have seen a few GQ's getting around with the dummy lights working, maybe a different or earlier model than my 95 was actually fitted out with them, or maybe it was a Maverick. Regardless, I'll figure it out and let y'all know.

    Mine are done also mate, but had an auto sparky wire them up - got the lights themselves from Bursons. Just not sure about being able to get a plug and play loom. I have a custom rear bar now so have no lights in it and needed the quarter panel lights working.
