Great video and it is exactly the information I need. I already have bought a ready led light kit that fit on my bumper that lights up when braking and turning but just after one year one side had many bulbs burnt out. Then on the following year the other side had many bulbs burnt out. I know this is happening on other people lights in my forum with these lights so this is not an isolated problem. So rather than buying another kit which will have the led burn out again I decided to do this mod instead. I am going with 5050 SMD leds for a shorter width rather than the 5630 leds like this video. If any of these leds burn out I still have a hole roll of leds still left over to fix the light.
This are awesome videos as well as all other your videos on your channel. Thank you. May I ask you a question? I wanted to install led lights into the fake exhaust openings of my 2023 VW Taos. Everything worked well after connections to existing lights. But when we closed the tail gate, they started to act erratically and couldn’t get them to work properly. What could be the problem? Thank you for pointing at some problems with connections. Regards, Bojan, Ottawa, Canada
Just bought a 2017 pathfinder and have been relishing your videos. I’d like to connect through the wiring harness but am having a time locating it. Before I start taking apart the rear end, can you give me a clue as to where to look? Your videos have me pretty comfortable removing interior panels now but I’m a bit hesitant to go on blindly dismantling my new (to me) pathfinder.
Nice video.. This was something that i was considering doing .. But was looking at buying mine already done.. but the price was too steep.. This is a better way.. Are you going to wire it so that it's one brightness when the lights are on and then full bright when you press the brakes?...i am not sure but it looks like that in the video...
Use telephone wire. It's easier to work with and solder instead of copper braided. It's not as fat. I wired an entire kitchen, 60 feet, of led lighting that way.
On Ebay. I later opened one of the failed one and found that the design is flawed and they will ALL eventually fail because the circuit is missing a current limiting resistor.
The controller box that comes with the reflector do not have current limiting resistors built in, and not suppose to have it. They should be incorporated inside the LED reflectors itself.
@@dial2fast Hi, I am thinking of building the lights like you did instead of buying the ones on amazon. How are your lights working up to now since it has been over a year?
I bought a pair of the reflectors with the leds for $57 from eBay plus they are sequential indicators which is cool
You are awesome. Wish you lived next door and helped me with my 2017 Pathfinder.

I just completed this mod. Looks great. On top of that it fixed my hyper-flash issue.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers!
dial2fast keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to your next mod to your PF.
Amazing work as always, that mod looks factory. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks. Editing the second video right now.
Second vedio plz
You won't believe that people spend 150+ bucks for "custom made" reflectors. Doing it this way cost less than $20. Great video.
Yes, I have been researching this project for a while. Finally got everything I need to get it done.
This are awesome videos as well as all other your videos on your channel. Thank you.

Oh, never mind. There was part 2. I saw it. Thx
It was easier to just buy them on amazon but u did great job
Like ur video and I will do it for my pathfinder can u tell me what’s name and model about control module
Very good work, thank you (Feb 2018)
Thank you for your comment!

Do you have a video on how to install in vent visor on your Nissan Pathfinder

Hi Michael, yes, the finished project will have the reflector LED integrated with the parking light, brake light, turn signal light.
Use telephone wire. It's easier to work with and solder instead of copper braided. It's not as fat. I wired an entire kitchen, 60 feet, of led lighting that way.
Good Work!
hello the interior lights of my 2015 pathfinder do not work for me can you help me please
Thank you for your video!
That’s hot awesome video
Nice mod. Unrelated question. What are the gloves you are using at the beginning of the video when you are taking the reflector off?
They are 7 mil nitrile gloves (not the usual 4 mil gloves that break easily). It's similar to this one amzn.to/2mvpre0
where did buy the LED flexible strip?
What rear light cover u using??
This led strip is not available any more
Nice, very nice.!!
Nice video ! 💖
Awesome
I love it I’m going to do this mod but when u going load the second video about installing
Editing the second video right now. Stay tuned!
hi, where did you get the 1st set of lighted reflectors from (the ones that failed initially)?
On Ebay. I later opened one of the failed one and found that the design is flawed and they will ALL eventually fail because the circuit is missing a current limiting resistor.
@@dial2fast thanks for the reply. so i guess the controller that shipped with those reflectors was missing the current limiting resistors?
The controller box that comes with the reflector do not have current limiting resistors built in, and not suppose to have it. They should be incorporated inside the LED reflectors itself.
@@dial2fast Hi, I am thinking of building the lights like you did instead of buying the ones on amazon. How are your lights working up to now since it has been over a year?
@@beighbface Still works fine.
WooooooooW 😍👍👍✔️✔️🤩
Great video, you make them east to followthanks
Nice :-).
OMG !!! AWSOME!! THANK YOU. CAN I JUST SEND YOU MINE AND YOU CAN DO IT FOR ME :] ILL PAY
YOU DIDN’T SHOW HOW TO INSTALL THESE BACK AND HOW TO WIRE THEM. I WANT TO SEE HOW AND WHERE U WIRE THEM PLEASE. THX
They sell rear reflector lights on amazon dont have to make them
