Hi guys,
I have got an older model ute with a square tail light connector (Pic attached), however the new tail light that I bought has got a bigger connector :(
Would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Kind regards,
Ron

You only need to cut the new connector off, and splice each wire to the old connector

If they are genuine Nissan, they are color coded, maybe this? Maybe it varies by year?
* Red - reverse lamp
* G/L - running lamp
* G/R - turn signal
* G/Y - stop lamp
* Black - earth

If they are aftermarket, they could be any color wires, as long as the wires go to the correct terminals in the connector

Best bet is to ID the wires visually before cutting off the connector. Mark them with tape or something
