slimjim Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 seen the Qashqai rear number plate light on eBay..... Can anyone tell me if it fits straight onto a stock 2003 Zed? Cheers. Quote
Chris`I Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Looks like the right shape to me. Might need someone with a Q to have a look and test it Quote
slimjim Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 There are quite a few versions out there... I suppose they should either AL fit... or NOT fit at all. Might try to get a super cheap on from China to try it out. Quote
Chris`I Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Why not ask the seller for the dimensions? Shouldnt be hard to work it out You can also get nice Kenwood cameras that fit nicely up beside the light itself. Would cost more but would give better results. See my "next teaser thread". I know its a 370z but the fitting is near identical Quote
slimjim Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Good point... I should take a light out of mine and measure it up Link to the thread... or shall I go fish? Quote
neilvr Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I have just bought one from China and have to pick it up on Saturday, so I will let you know Quote
flyboy Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I have just bought one from China and have to pick it up on Saturday, so I will let you know Gosh, I wish I could pop to China over the weekend Quote
AFTERSHOX Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I have just bought one from China and have to pick it up on Saturday, so I will let you know Let us know which one you get... I've seen a few on eBay; some look better build quality than others.... I've found a couple of modules / options that work with the UK Birdcr@p SatNav as well; (supposed to be plug and play) - with dual PAL AUX (where you press either ENTER or some other button) to switch between the CAMs [you can have two - one front / one rear] or just one; the other type supposed to switch when you select reverse gear. I'm still investigating though.......... If you have any suggestions / solutions...... I'm all ears.... Quote
Chilli Red Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I have a Qashqai with reversing camera located above the rear plate, factory fitted. What do you need checking? Quote
sparky370z Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I have a Qashqai with reversing camera located above the rear plate, factory fitted. What do you need checking? +1 Im pretty sure it looks the same. So its just the connections on the camera itself. Quote
slimjim Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 I have a Qashqai with reversing camera located above the rear plate, factory fitted. What do you need checking? Just want to know if it will fit into one of the reversing light on my 03 UK GT and what it looks like on Quote
neilvr Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Sorry all - still have not had a chance to fit it but it does look the right size. Quote
Chilli Red Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 This is how it looks from the outside - not sure this helps, but it is mounted under the rear boot lip... (God my car is filthy!!!) Quote
slimjim Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 That looks good! Where is the light for the plate? And is it a Z or a Q? Do you sell these then? Quote
Chilli Red Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 There are two number plate lights and this is situated to the left of the left hand side light and it's a Qashqai. Sorry I don't sell them Quote
slimjim Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 I have taken a punt on one from China... £23 and it is the "more expensive" CCD style. Rather than the £18 CMOS (and yes, that is DELIVERED folks!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0533965399 Pretty sure it will be 10 days before it turns up... but I am in no rush. Will do an install guide/photo's when I have finished. Just gotta buy a head unit now Quote
slimjim Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 OK... so GOOD news and not so good news... The camera has arrived!!! Very impressed it turned up this quickly. And it LOOKS identical to the standard light! The NOT so good news is ... it doesn't fit properly It goes in, but feels loose and falls out.... I think a slight amount of alteration will make it fit perfectly. bit of a pain, but for £23, you can't grumble too much! Anyone know how I can test it without a head unit... will it work on my TV input? Quote
neilvr Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Right - sorry for the delays, I was out of the country...Just fitted the camera yesterday and it fits well. I got it from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ETO-Car-Rear- ... 572wt_1139. No pics yet but will post some when the rain stops..... Cheers Quote
