LED's on Nissan Patrol

akewalram · Post by **akewalram** » 06 Jul 2011, 6:31 am

I'm thinking of putting LED's onto my Nissan Patrol.. The LED's I'm looking at most likely

these.. and I'm planning on attaching them onto the car in the under part of the bumper, that small gap that is there underneath the number plate. You can see in these photos of my car where it would ideally fit.

Also I was planning on putting not just 2 sets of LED's on the side of that panel but one along the whole thing so it's like a complete line..

Any ideas or suggestions or comments are welcomed!

Thank you.

imo that car already has issues with its design (compared to the older model), adding LEDs would only make it look worse.

Get rid of the clear lights at the back, fabricate a better front bumper or change that grill.

Also: PS the new patrol rocks with its new gadgets and power. But its got 2 much chrome all around and frankly the body is less aggressive than the old1.

check what this guy did btw:

Its not very aggressive but its atleast different.

It'll look like a Range Rover with the LEDs from a distance.

Nice photography, welcome to the boards.
About the LEDs, stay away. You'll look like a LC wannabe.

Not a fan of his front bumper.. Body wise I don't think I'm going to go as far as changing full kits BUT I am going to put the the City Edition Bumper most likely and there is one available which already has LED's built in

You can kinda see them in this picture but I've seen the bumper in first hand it looks pretty aggressive and sick. I'd gone with the normal bumper when I got the car because I thought I'd be heading to the desert a lot but I have another car for that.

About the chrome parts a friend of mine got all the chrome on his car wrapped in black foil it looks great..

Here are a few professional pictures you'll most likely see his car Number plate C 500

Your friend's car is quite famous, seen it in a couple of magazines.

wow id love to see the bumper you want to buy. If you can get a clear pic it would be awesome.

Also the matt black looks awesome some might prefer carbon fibre also however instead of getting the work done @ fibra you can save your self some cash and go to any installer and get it done cheaper. Evolve does it i believe they stock matt black too. If you want it even cheaper ajman for like 100 AED supply and install (some cheap vinyl).

I'm definitely getting the carbon fibre wrap done on the mirrors for now.. maybe a few other parts later on though.

I've seen the bumper up close trust me it look's really good there is another bumper not shown here just not vertical their horizontal that one looks great too but I really like the vertical ones they look mean along with the bumper of course.

Make sure you do it from a decent place like gulf foil. I can get you a good price too..
