Nice truck, and since I know how much you like LED's;

Aftermarket side-view mirror turn signal indicators!

I actually want to try this when I have the time.

[Towncivilian]

Nice job! I was going to suggest replacing the license plate bulbs, and was wondering how bright the turn signals were during the day, but you answered those questions in your update.

I think you should replace your dashboard illumination, turn indicators, and bright indicator with LEDs too, you can find my results here and a guide on the process here.

You can also replace the ashtray light, glove box light, A/C controls illumination (if you have manual knobs), shifter, and window switch packs.

I would love to that along with the window switched and gear shifter but my ac controls are auto so idk if i can do those also in you tutorial u show how u take off the panel but my question is where can i find a size guide but ur truck looks sweet.

[Towncivilian]

You don't need to remove the instrument cluster if your hands are small enough to reach behind the cluster to remove the twist bases. You can tilt the cluster left or right (within reason of course) to help access them. You just twist them and they come out.

As for your auto A/C controls, read here.

The window switches require disassembly of the switches and soldering, see guide here.

Sizing guide of all interior bulbs is here.

LED Plate lights
Underglows if you really want it
dash lights
console lights
vanity lights
i strongly suggest changing your map lights to white rather then blue for more functionality
billet grille
sound system overhaul?

[edogg27]

i did do led plate lights in the update video and i really want to do the billet grille and i found one on ebay but installation doesnt look easy... and i orderd the vanity lights and i never use my map lights so i like em but thanks for ur input as for sound system i am probably going to leave it because i am giving the car to my sister so its not worth the money for a few more months

Damn Straight but she is paying for most of this since it gonna be hers lol

[edogg27]

thanks for the radio removal post man uv helped me out so much man i really appreciate it do u think i should replace the stock bose seekers?? if so with what brand

[Innovazn]

If youre going to up your sound, go all the way... amp the speakers change wiring and add a sub. Go big or go home. I spent nearly 3000 and all the stuff i bought was near cost (buddy hook up)

[edogg27]

Ya i probabaly will get two 12 or something but what do u think would sound good in door speakers brand wise and also for the bose replacement amp what should i go for...

Im an Alpine guy.

I have Component Type R's in the front and Coaxial Type X in the back. Powered by Alpine MRP 600 4 channel.

Running 1 12" Type R sube with a Mono 1k. And that in itself pounds. I have a second sub but I have yet to put that in till I gather my funds for a custom box.

Also where did you get your clear lenses for your front turn signals i would love to do that with some type 2 switchback leds so they mach my hid kit

Currently I have these:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/1999-2004-NISSAN-PAT ... 45f95ef67e

Which are better put together than these:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/99-01-Nissan-Pathfin ... 41578f63d3

Its best just to spend the extra couple of bucks for the first ones because the rubber doesn't fall off and not fit like the other ones...

personal experience?

[Chris.m]

personal experience?

Yup, At first I had the cheap ones

Then this happened;



I still have the passenger-side of that set, note the jagged rubber edge




As I was never really happy with the quality of the first set I went for the more expensive ones for round two.

They are still on the truck and I didn't feel like taking them out for pics. Granted the fit still isn't as good as OEM, they are still better than the cheap set.

[edogg27]

When u say they dont fit like oem what do u mean?? and can u take some close up pics of it now?

[Chris.m]

Here you can see that between the rubber and the curve of the fender there is about 1/16th of an inch gap if that. You can only notice it from one specific angle that I couldn't really capture.


Here, the top of the cornor is sunken in a bit compared to the headlight



Here the bottom is sticking out a bit further than the headlight.



And here is what it looks like from a bit of a distance



As far as I know, I can't easily adjust this. The back of the cornor is held in a ball and socket fastener and the top is held with a screw to the headlight.

I still prefer this over OEM orange

[edogg27]

Ya im gonna get those and some switch back leds so they r blue while driving but turn amber when blinkin... and thanks for the pics man when they come in ill make another vid of em

[Chris.m]

No problem, and right after that you'll tackle the side-view mirror turn indicators right?

[edogg27]

Idk looks kinds difficult i wouldnt know how to get the mirror off lol
