normally works with 6v bulb. over time the solders crack and the bulbs don't work. remove the socket, re-solder the bulbs and resistors. it will be fixed. 12v will be a problem for the main board in the long run.

I connected the 12V to the accessory socket below this panel, sorry if that was not clear in the video. So not on the PCB at all. Unfortunately I have no idea what the original lamps are, there was no writing on them.

I measured the voltage going to the original lamps, and it kept fluctuating between 1V - 14V with no clear reason why. I tried to connect the new LEDs to those points on the PCB, but they did not work at all through that, even with 5V LEDs. Cannot understand why - but then I just took the power from elsewhere.

@@jtr159 Thank you for the answer. To be clear I still haven't disassembled my unit so i might be asking the questions that won't exist if i do. But my question was about where on the PCB these two wires (that you connected to accessory socket) come from? Did you attach them by yourself or they are just there originally to supply voltage to original lamps. Sorry if i'm asking obvious questions.

@@jtr159 And does this new setup (connected to accessory socket) always stays on when ignition switch is on or as original only turns on with the main/side light is turned on?

@@shelterthat Oh I see yeah. I ran two wires from the accessory socket 12V positive and ground directly to the LEDs that I put inside the dials. So I bypassed the whole PCB and connected nothing to it (except soldered out the old tiny bulbs). It's much clearer once you disassemble everything :) easy to do, just need a flathead screwdriver to pop off the panel and disconnect the cables

Yeah I think so but it's likely the original irreplaceable bulbs have failed on nearly all panels from that era. So replacing the PCB will most likely not help. Easy way to explain this fix is that you just have to put separate lights inside the original dials. In this video I just showed how I put normal automotive LED lights inside the dials and where I got power for them. If you have a friend or relative who has any idea about car electronics, I think that might be your best bet to get it fixed.

@@jtr159 Thanks for the reply I could probably do this , but its the soldering i would have an issue with. poor design from Nissan i think !

@@briandavis8120 Yeah totally agree, we had LEDs in 2006 already and you'd think they wouldn't have been too pricey even on a reasonably priced car. Even fitting traditional replaceable bulbs would've been better.

@@jtr159 not having the lights is not such a big deal for me, its an old car i use for getting about, but I enjoy fixing things or upgrading if I can,but thanks to your video I have learned how easy it is to replace the whole panel if needed, so I will maybe keep my eye out for a salvage part (currently about £30) maybe get one cheaper locally as even then may not last that long ! if you have time redo the vid with some more photos or video as you know what you are doing and im sure it would encourage more people to have a go themselves. Thanks very much for the information Cheers Bri

@@briandavis8120 hi! Thanks for the kind comment Bri, yeah the whole panel is really easy to replace. I'm sure some salvage yards might let you test a salvage panel before purchase to check the lights. I'll be sure to redo this video better if the current LEDs ever fail, I know I spent weeks trying to find out how to replace them before I went out on a limb and took everything apart👍

Hi, what do you mean removing the bulls out?
