NP300 Navara LED globe conversion.

I have a 2018 NP300 STX. Has anyone replaced the standard reversing globe with a LED one without upsetting the electrics?

i doubt there is any electronics to upset with reversing lights, but i've got the budget model.
i'm in the middle of fitting some at the moment.

That is because the lenses of vehicle lights are designed around a light source of a defined size. If you exchange the globe with another of a different size the optics do not operate as designed. The replacement globes for all the common filament lamps used in vehicles are specified in Australian Design Rule 51/00 – Filament Lamps. If you do not fit the correct globes in the lamps you get a different spread of light, that can render the vehicle non-compliant with the relevant ADR applicable to that light or lights. If your lights are non-compliant then the vehicle is considered unroadworthy.

being a flat deck i fitted a couple 18w led work lights as reversing lights. as stock bulbs are 21w i doubt there will be issues.
