jacr87 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Has anyone got Images off the taillight connectors that plug in to the tailight and to the car wiring, or even better the website where I could buy them. I need to creat a wiring loom for my L.E.D lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm in the process of receiving a pair of OEM LEDs from Alex I've been searching on the forum to find out how to switch these clusters over. Now I know I need to remove the caps and bolts holding the units down. Once that's complete , I have read different methods of connecting the loom to the LEDs. I know the JDMs have to replace/modify the connector, what about the UK ones? I've read somewhere I need to shave off the ridges on the connector? What do I do with the bulb holder etc? Sorry about the dumb questions, but I have no idea what I need to do! I appreciate your help guys Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 If you have a U.K model then its a straight replacement, just be careful not to snap the plastic caps off when you prise them up to get at the bolts that hold the lights in place. The units are one piece, so no need to fiddle around with bulb holders Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply Alex, what do I do with the bulb holders (as they're not required in the LED units)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The units are one piece, so no need to fiddle around with bulb holders Pete Sorry I completely missed your reply! That answers the question about the bulb holders Just out of curiousity, if a brake light bulb blew in my current unit, how would I replace them if they're sealed units? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just took a quick look at my old lights. As far as I can see, there's only the one bulb and its a simple matter of unscrewing the connector and replacing the bulb. Don't know how the 2006 onwards lights work though Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I was confused because traditional vehicles normally have a wiring loom coming out of the boot that has a holder and a bulb at the end. This then twists into the light cluster. So I was thinking, if you removed the light cluster completely this would come away from the bulb holder, leaving the bulb and holder hanging. I'm guessing the 350z is different and I'm sure it's plug and play like everybody says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looks like this... Pete Ah...now I get it! Thanks Pete for clarifying this for me! I'm guessing the LED cluster will have the same white connector at the back of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I forgot to ask...what tools will I require to carry out the light cluster swap from 03-06 to OEM LEDs? Thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I forgot to ask...what tools will I require to carry out the light cluster swap from 03-06 to OEM LEDs? Thanks, Hassan I had to remove my rear lights just the other week to swap some bulbs around ... You'll need a small flat screwdriver to remove the plastic covers on the lights, then a 10mm socket to remove the 3 bolts for the lights. Once you've got those out, it's simply a case of pulling the light away from the car .. there are 2 clips which also hold the light to the car, but these shouldn't be any problem ..

I've got all the tools with me ready to carry out the swap after work in the car park Will there be loads of dirty under the light clusters that's built up between the bodywork and the units?
