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

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.

Thanks for info on lens and led bulb legality. I might leave well alone,just have a separate brighter reversing lamp fitted.
