Ole_Rosie_R50 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I have a 1998 pathfinder and I have led bulbs in the headlights and I would like to find led bulbs for my license plate bulbs. Can anyone throw me a link or the bulb size? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrelcocko Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Here's a little bit of knowledge for you buddy some people even myself back when I first started getting into the R50 I wanted to put LED lights in my third brake lamp the one on top of the back gate. I did and it looked great. Went out for a drive later that evening and thought I'd use cruise control well my cruise control wouldn't work so I checked fuses wiring switch everything checked out great putting the LED bulbs in caused the computer or the system for the cruise control to think a bulb was out or missing causing the cruise control not to work. once I put my halogen bulbs back in the cruise control work perfect. Maybe it was really something else and I just thought it was the bulbs causing a problem but I'm pretty sure that's what it was maybe someone else can chime in on this and tell me if it's true that the LED bulbs caused the cruise not to work. I just wanted to let you know this in case you decided to do that with the third brake light. I have LEDs in every one of my lights except the third brake lamp.Mr Cox 96R50-97JR50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cox 96R50-97JR50 That would be beyond strange if it that's what happened. I have all led for brake lamps, third and main, and have never had that happen.

TowndawgR50 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I also have cruise control related issues that are connected to switching my entire rig over to LED bulbs. My cruise control works fine but cancels when I use my turn signals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I should clarify that the problem, in my particular case, did not start with any bulbs in the rear but after i installed LED switchback bulbs in the front corner/turn signal assemblies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahfelker Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Every single bulb in my car is LED and my cruise still works fine. Maybe just you newer guys have that "feature." Also everywhere I looked said the license plate bulbs are the same type as the front marker lights but they're not. They use the same base as all 3 of the lights on the taillight, 1156. Just make sure you find an LED shallow enough to actual fit back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well, that’s all confusing as Hell. I know my interior bulbs didn’t cause any problems but I use my cruise almost never these days-literally might have been years. Nevertheless, losing cruise for LEDs doesn’t seem like a good trade. Thanks for the heads up to check for it as I go about replacing the exterior lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up to check for it as I go about replacing the exterior lights.I think something that may be overlooked is the type of led bulb being used. I’ve read canbus type bulbs can cause electrical errors in non-canbus vehicles. With that said, I have canbus reverse leds because of the superior brightness and have not had any issues with them.

Mrelcocko Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 On my 98 Pathy my cruise became inop when using LED'S. Put halogen back in worked again. Of course the LEDs that I was using I purchased offline and they were cheap LEDs so that could play a part I'm sure.Mr Cox 96R50-97JR50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Well, I only have reverse LEDs in so far but I have the bulbs to change over everything. I’ve learned my lesson on cheap LEDs so these are all at least “good”. I’ll probably get to it in the next couple months & will trial the cruise after each installed pair & report my final findings.
