Genuine only please

I assume from your signature that you have a ute but probably best to confirm that it's ute tail lights your looking for?

Also the genuines ones came with black or chrome surrounds. What have you currently got.

P.S. The lenses on the aftermarket ones fit better in the genuine surrounds so if it's really only lenses you need you could swap some over from the Taiwanese copies....mind you they get UV fade after a year of so!

Yup, I'm after ute ones. Dopey friend reversed the ute into something and broke the right unit. Would like chrome surrounds but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

I tried this but the lense's fit terribly in the genuine surrounds (they were too big to seat properly) and I didn't feel brave enough to try and massage them in.

So now I am just rocking reproduction lenses and surrounds. An alright fit once you tap the lip within the tailight cone in a little to allow the light to be tensioned in.
But still...

Crab..it was a few years back when I fitted the aftermarket lenses into stock housings and the reason I did it was that I could see gaps between the lense and the housing on the Taiwanese jobs. Good to hear you were able to use the repro ones with a little modification.

For my latest ute I'll be using some NOS Nissan tail lights that I've had tucked away for about 10 years! Sorry Stefano they are not for sale.

It was so long ago I can't even remember what I paid for them...think it was around $100 for the pair (black surrounds).

If it helps I can probably find the part numbers off the boxes and you could see what your local Nissan dealer says.

I may have an original chrome used RH tail light in my garage somewhere but it won't have the lenses in it. If that would get you
out of trouble I can have a look for it.
