Trucker Dave Hi Everyone
Hi everyone l have just joined the club .l have recently bought a Nissan sve and want to upgrade the rear lights .i have found some DEPO lenses in OZ Perth. Is there anywhere closer to home. The cost from oz is about £138 including post. Will I need to have led bulbs to protect the fuses.l have looked at the wiring and it is seems ready for changeover.:

Hi Dave and welcome, do not know about supply of lights, but wiring should not be a problem, where in the south east are you? Rick

Wow that's low mileage !
That's one tidy truck you have there, I could do with one like that but it would have to be an automatic for us.
She should give you some years of happy motoring. If you have a thorough MoT testing station be careful about Lens Markings / B.S.numbers if you are replacing the lenses- At present most back conversions from Tungsten to LED are technically illegal so if the new rear lights look super bright it could be a fail. Another issue with aftermarket LED's is flashing & failing if not an OEM part. |

Reversing Lights
Quote:
Modern reversing lamps seem to be aimed at telling other motorists you have reverse selected - not designed to actually help you see any better when reversing. |

I have super bright LED reverse bulbs in my Y60 really makes a difference at night, and went through MOT only last week no problems, Rick

My rear fog lamp was 100 Watts so it was never gong to be missed by the tester. |

There are some people on here with trolls that have done the light mods, they'll be able to sort you out, fitting Australian or US spec lights rings a bell
Thats a nice looking truck mate, I like the colour |

I should also add, at this point in time I have only regular bulbs and have yet to do an LED conversion.
