REAR L.E.D Taillights (Pics added)

[jacr87]

I bought these taillights just had a look at the connection and they are different from the my stock uk ones. Has anyone got a harnesss which will allow me to connect these up?

[srobrien]

Are they OEM or aftermarket?

I beleive they are aftermarket Ross.

Check the pins. The connector might need trimmed with a stanley blade.

Its quite a weird connection. It is black and flat alomost looks impossible to fit the standard connection on the Z.

Guessing that they are the ebay specials!

 

You could remove the end off the OEM ones on the car and then rewire the new ones!

Just harwire them in. The only problem being with that is I would not be able to sell the original ones.

 

Not unless anyone has spare connections they would like to sell off scrap taillights.

could be the earth is paired. if you have the rear lights off unplug the entire unit from the nissan ones and take the bulb out , mines plugged in this way reusing the bulb holder as an adaptor. the led lights i got just had bare wires sticking out a connector , looked really wierd but works fine.

[jacr87]

I will try that tonight mate.

Here is the connection from the L.E.D Lights. Any advice?

Yep, deffo the wrong ones! Those connectors wont fit any Zed so dont know why they use them!

 

Best and easiest way is to remove the plug from your lights, you shouldnt have to damage the plug or cut the wires as they are removable and the OEM lights are pretty worthless. You should be able to take it too bits. Will have a look at mine later on tonight and see if I can give you some instructions. Or you can go to a motor factors and get a 4 pin plug and socket.

Just did feel like a right tit for not checking that in the first place. Cheers for that.

no worries i bought mine used and was told i need some sort of wiring hack done etc

while i was looking at the wires i thought better bend them over so they dont get pulled back ...... then it dawned on me they now looked like the bulbs, plugged in and presto !

seems strange but actually a smart way of doing it since it will work on jdm and uk cars .

[jacr87]

Yeah I know. When you first said it I believed that would never work. But it does.

Before you posted the first post. I was getting the sparkies in my workshop to make me up a loom. lol.
