2005 GU Patrol Rear Lights

I don't know about the mod, but no it isn't ADR compliant. The apare tyre impinges on the viewing angle therefore no allowed to have them as brake lights. Silly...the more brake lights the better I reckon

Corey,
Cant help you locate a place in Melbourne sorry but food for thought....

If u can get ur hands on an early GQ tail lights (1988 mod) and mark the pattern of the cut out, with a very fine hobby drill kit 12 volt, it is possible to router the shape out so that you can fit the globe sockets & wiring harness into ur existing lights I did this on a GQ long ago, worked great Im assuming the GU's have a flat back where the sockets would twist in.
Just make sure u do the correct ones, as the reverse socket has a different pattern from memory.

But Corey, had you bought a Disco last year instead of this thing with "dummy" lighting there would be no requirements to do actually anything except get out use it and revel in its capabilities.
Of course, had it been a 4.2 Nissan, then overheating woes would have set in, a far greater concern. Those things boil more than the old Roseberry engine on the shearing plant.
OK, just having a cheap shot at people supporting the worst industry afloat, "scientific whale harvesting".
No more Jap for me, Norwegian either.

Hi Corey,
Check out 4x4 accessories on Ebay, There was a bloke selling the Dummy Light Upgrade for GU Patrols. If he hasn't got any on there at the moment you may be able to put a wanted ad on there and he might reply, I was going to upgrade mine and I only Deleted his email address from my computer about 2 days ago because I decided it wasn't worth the money. Hope this helps you.

There is a problem in connecting the dummy lights on the latest GU compared to the previous model.

The previous GU3 had red, clear for reverse and clear for turn signal using an amber globe. Therefore it is possible to fit globe holders and get them working.

The latest GU does not have a clear lens for the turn signal part of the light - it is red. The light is only red and clear. Therefore it is not possible to get the turn signal working in amber using the standard light. The brake, tail and reverse lights would be OK.

Larger Nissan dealers stock the 'Arab spec' lights for the latest GU. They are about $400 (not fitted).

Hi All,

Does any one have a part number for the Arab spec lights? Do these lights come with the additional wires for connecting them?

We do not have the ADR in the UK and we have the dummy lights, seems more a cost cutting exercise to me. Also noticed a Terrano(do not know what you call it) yesterday and it had the bumper lights and the upper light working so it is standard in the model below, crazy)

I fitted Arabian lights two my 2002 GU all wiring is on left hand side but had to rewire over to right hand side. Hope this helps Dave

Thanks everybody for the feedback.

Regards,

Corey

I guess it would be better to use the Jap tail lights to solve the wiring issue. Does anyone know the Jap part numbers for the 2005 Patrol? If not where would you go to find out the part number?

Thanks

Scott

Nissan have an optional replacement rear lights as a Factory Part to replace the Dummy lights in the rear quarter Panels of all Series III and Series IV GU Patrols.

The Original Lights only have the single passenger side reverse light working. The Replacement lights include all the globes and globe holders to enable the indicator, tail, stop and reverse lights to work.

These Lights are available from Nissan Dealerships, in particular Ferntree Gully Nissan and Blackburn Nissan in Victoria both stock these lights.

Hi Corey,
If you check out post #26052 you may get a better idea of what is involved.
4x4trecker has done it to his GU IV and like me is now using LED bulbs with excellent results.

Have a search of the sites, its been asked, and done before.

But I still dont understand why people do it, better things to spend $400 on
