Im curious as the why nobody makes led tail lights for pathfinders...at least 03 models. Does anybody know if I am wrong, or why led tail lights do no exist for 03 pathfinders???

I replaced the brake light bulbs in my '01 with bulbs ordered from superbrightleds.com. They are about as bright as the incandescents,
have the fast ON time of LEDs (which is what counts). The one glitch I had was that every time I hit the turn signal, the
cruise control would disengage. The fault lies on Nissan's side (leakage current between turn signal circuit and brake light
circuit somewhere), the fix was to replace one of the bulbs in the CHMSL with an incandescent.

They look stock, not "cool", but serve the function.

They just dont make one for our cars.

Youd have to make a custom set

Why don't they exist? No market. There are way fewer C4 Corvettes on the road than PF/QX4, yet there are several makers
for the C4. Why? The kind of folks who own C4s is different from the kind of folks who own PF/QX4.

Yea I understand that...demand for the product I guess. I installed aftermarket tail lights (alteeza) on my pathfinder, but I wish they were leds. I dont get how companies are making aftermarket tail lights for the pathfinder, but not leds? I would assume there would be A LOT of people interested in that product.

They're not specific to the WD21's/R50's they're specific to the socket type. You can get dual intensity 7443's but they're crap.

When did you get them? I haven't looked for about a year and back then I couldn't find anything I thought was worth buying.
