Killain Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted May 22, 2022 $25.00 plus shipping, it must be made of some pretty pricy plastics ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing them on ebay for like $60+ a couple months back. I don't think Nissan (or Niles Electronics company) produces any of these parts anymore. $25 is "expensive" but they are probably made as small batches now. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted May 22, 2022 Share #8 Posted May 22, 2022 The one in my car crumbled when I pressed on the wrong area. Unless a used one came from a garaged car I don't see why it would be any more durable, they all get baked from the roof heat. That $25 replica seems like a good bet. It's an odd color though.

The color does seem off but Steve is very obsessive about making accurate reproductions. I feel confident the color is correct. He would be my first choice if you can figure out shipping.

Killain Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted May 23, 2022 Hay I found a new one from a company called Klearz <info@klearz.com for a white lens, but it looks like the whole lamp assembly has to come out of the car to replace the lens, can someone clarify this operation for me ?

Patcon Posted May 23, 2022 Share #12 Posted May 23, 2022 The assembly comes out pretty easily. As I recall it just pulls out and has two spade plugs to disconnect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
