Reverse sensors fitted... total cost £26

Bought mine from here Ebay shop

The only slight issue was the supplied hole cutter was softer than the bumper material :shock: I didn't have a 21mm cutter in my toolbox so had to buy one, which was almost as much as the kit :lol:

Was a REALLY easy install.

Are the nissan ones that bad? ordered min to come with the truck. Not sure wether to cancel them now and just do this. Good how to by the way you got any pics of the install?

 

[macman]

They are working fine. (I had been parking 8ft infront of things previously )

The Nissan ones as I understand it aren't fitted in the bumper, just on cheap plastic blocks on the under side.

I'll take a pic in the morning of mine, as I'm really chuffed with the look.

I put my two into the rear number plate light doofers - they pop out (reach up from inside the bumper) and theres JUST enough room with a dremel or whatever to get them in there...

The outer two are a different question - and I might have to resort to drilling the bumper - but my sensors are black

Box is in the cavity behind the rear lamp cluster. I wrappped it up in a load of tape to protect it in case any water got in there, which I reckon is pretty unlikely anyway.

I'm off to Iceland this week, so won't be able to take a pic till next weekend. Really is very easy though.

Take Brian's advice

cancel the nissan one's their dealer fit not factory so you'll do a better job yourself.

I've got them and their rubbish

i've come back from maplins and they've got some nikko sensors ... £35 for the two type and £40 for the four type..they look quite good and although they are more expensive than the ebay jobs ,you do have the backup of taking them back to a shop if they go wrong..

These are the same ones i bought off ebay to fit on the father-in-laws car i fitted them about 2 weeks ago didn't start fitting them till after 5pm returned the car to him before it dropped dark they were that easy to fit

would a towbar affect the reverse sensors? I'm going to fit one like Bobsabuilder's just fitted but wont bother with the sensors if the towbar's going to fool them all the time.

 

[bobsabuilder]

It shouldnt conflict with the reversing sensors as long as the sensor's are fitted correctly.
