Please! i need the white paper of prOtonz!!! The link posted are missing!!!

help!!

 

[danf]

Do yourself a favour, find a scrap yard MO and get the oem module and wiring. I ended up scrapping the modules as I ended up having issues with the turn signals again. The resistor I used to make the signals work ended up giving out. So I ended up using a light bulb. But even that was not the best solution.
Going oem I ended up transplanting a massive section of the rear body harness from a scrapped MO to make it all work. It was the best decision I made.... I also took the liberty of adding in the oem reverse cam but that was a whole other big money project lol

Thanks Danf for your advice.. but unfortunately here, in my country its not easy to find a MO in scrap yard.

I have a pairs of tailight led, and the solution is work in my own adpaters..

For that reason I would like to have the diagram or circuit posted in the white paper.. I really appreciate if you have a diagram with the necssary to make the adapters module. thanks

 

[Antro]

this is the unit combination lap. I found in a scrap yard. the question is only one unit for both lamps or two unit (RR and RL) please help!!

 

[danf]

My apologies on late reply. I have been crazy busy.
I looked through all my harddrives for the white paper but I do not have it anymore. Good thing you found this as that is the module that you are looking for. It does both left and right lights. Did you get the wiring harness to go with it?
PM me an email address and I will send you the appropriate wiring diagrams

 

[Antro]

Thanks Dan!!

i found the module, but as i said, my concern was the RR indicated in the box. Fontunately you explain me tha is only one box module for both tailights.

The harness wiring is not include. i request to the scrap yard, but they told me only the connector is available not the complete harness.

I will send you a pm for more info about de diagram of 16pins connector.

Hello everyone!

Who can help with the setup, or advice on how to connect the LED lights? My email Sharkbox@bk.ru

Or may be anybody have PDF from Protonz?

 

[srT4URBO]

I am thinking about this as well. I have an 04 SE AWD fully loaded with projector headlights, Navi, etc... and these lights would be perfect in my car haha.

 

[srT4URBO]

If I find a MO in the junkyard where do I look for the module and wiring harness? Does anyone have a picture of the entire thing?

 

[danf]

The wiring harness is part of the body harness and needs to be cut out to accordingly. It goes from the rear tail lights all the way to the front. As it is a body harness it will come with several connectors. I cut this section out of a scrap MO and the wrecker I got it from was very reasonable in the price. I had a roughly 30 foot section cut out and a lot of the interior needs to come apart to extract it properly. The oem module sits underneath the drivers rear seat.

If anyone has done the original conversion as per protonz white paper, I'm looking for some assistance. I performed the conversion years ago and it has worked flawlessly, but now my left tail light will not light up when I brake. It still shows dim when I turn the lights on, and bright when I signal, but not bright when I brake. Any suggestions as to what part of the circuit setup is malfunctioning? I'll try to post of a picture of protonz circuit setup later.

 

[charlesm]

hello want someone re-upload instructions Protonz white paper on how to make the box led lights CONVERTION
thanks to all

 

[BP30]

I am as well looking for the write up on the tail light upgrade? if not can anyone help me out on how to do the upgrade and what i need ?
Thanks

 

[clement]

Hi Dan,
thank you for the valuable info. I have got the module. Now it comes the wiring...
It is impossible to find the oem wiring harness... I looked in every junk yard!
Do you have any clue about the wiring diagram of the 16 pin module and how to connect it?

Best,

Clement

Problem Murano 07

Problem whith indicators
Hi All. I m a new member from Poland .
I am proud to be a new MO owner too. Got my 07 MO from USA with leds and i have a problem with my taillight - all indicators are working two times faster ,
i might add that the rear lamps were turned on bulbs lamps .
Is it possible to connect a conventional lamp in place of LED??

ask for any info or just plug and how to convert everything to work properly, or is there another problem, I salute

 

[ressdmurano]

The 2006 Murano is already in Hungary, and has been for a year with Canadian registration insured with an American firm out of FL for liability coverage in Europe, however they will not renew this policy when it expires in August 2010, so that is why it will now need to be registered in Hungary officially, and for that to happen, this tail light compliance will be a holdup unless it is sorted out.

We have not registered it in Hungary before now as the duties are like $15K due to the large engine size (in European standards that is) and it seemed like a lot of money just to get registration, but now that the insurance carrier is halting Euro policies to all, we are in this position of no other options.

The dealer in Hungary is astronomically priced with any parts, and that is why I am trying to collect parts in the USA (I reside in Atlanta, GA) while my parents live in Hungary, and it is for them I am doing this legwork....

So there is time, and I will hope to get to the bottom of what I need to do to rectify this situation....


Cheers,

Did you ever find a way to do the reverse conversion? I recently purchased 2006 Murano that a previous owner replaced the 2006 LED tail light assemblies with 2005 incandescent assemblies but did not bother to change the circuitry and they flash extremely fast. Thanks!

 

[danf]

If you want to do this, you would have to cut out the led control unit. I would not recomend this to anyone who is not 110% electronic saavy. Just get the oem led taillight assemblies. They look 10x better anyways. If i remember correctly all the signals come from the BCM go to the LED unit and go to the taillights. The LED's use the same wire for more then 1 function. Its the way the circuit inside the taillight is setup as well.

 

[andyyy2586]

It's the top most bulb that only turns on when the headlights are on.

--------------
I was thinking about upgrading the taillights, to improve the overall safety of my car, to all LEDs, but are they really "safer" or do websites just say that just so they can sell more?

 

[tyagianubhav9]

I think just the 3rd brake light should use an LED. Now you'll have both soft/warm brake lights and quick acting LED teatv app sbi hrms

White Paper Rev 0

For everyone to enjoy - here is the complete story on the 2006 LED rear combination lamp assembly.

I have been running with these on my 2005 Murano since late January. This little interface unit I built has been working great, even in the cold New England weather and snow.

This white paper should have all the information you need to build your own interface module. I realize that not everyone is capable of working with electronic components and soldering irons, so please email/PM me if you'd like to talk about having a set built for you.

Sorry it took so long to write this - haven't had a lot of free time lately.

LED White Paper Rev 0

So here are more details.. sorry my response is lagging, I've not been home lately (tied up with business travel & skiing!)

I have the '06 LED combination lamps installed on my '05, but I had to put in a custom interface circuit to address the issues below:

THE ISSUES:
1. Different Internal/External Wiring
The pin-outs for the 06 combination lamp are different. This image pretty much explains it:

The wiring inside is also different... see the next item.

2. Different Functionality
Instead of four discrete filaments for the different functions (turn, stop, marker, illumination) as in the '03-'05 model, the '06 version has just two 'nodes': an LED array (that takes care of Stop, Turn, and Illumination) and a single-LED side marker. As a result, there is no way to directly connect an '06 LED assembly to an '03-'05 Murano by just changing wire positions; there is a need for additional combinational logic. Three functions (stop, turn, illumination) need to map to a single output. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this appears to be what Nissan did with the FX35--the service manual for that car shows there is a controller unit for the rear combination lights.

3. Problem with Flasher Unit
The '03-'05 Murano has an feature built into the flasher circuitry that causes the turn signals to flash fast if a bulb is burned out. It does this based on the current draw through the entire circuit. The LED array draws much less power than the normal filament bulb (0.6A vs. 1.75A), so the flasher circuit (which appears to be part of the Body Control Module - BCM) thinks a bulb has burned out. Without other changes, the '06 LED combination lamp assy will trip this safety feature. So-- TQT -- to answer your question, yes, I did have to add a resistive load to increase the current draw (and yes, it does have to dissipate about 15W). To me this was a simpler (if not elegant) solution than making changes to the BCM.

THE SOLUTION:
I created an interface box that adapts the '03-'05 Murano signals to the '06 LED assembly. It takes care of the wiring changes, the additional combinational logic, and the flasher circuit problem. I have a pair of them installed in my Murano, and it is working well. I would consider what I have right now a prototype. I'd rather not get into the details of how it works until I've had a chance to test it thoroughly--for example, since this interface unit lives outside with the combination lamp, I had to make sure it would be weather-proof.

This was more of a fun project for me to do--but how many of you are also considering doing this upgrade?

Hello, i dont know if you still have the paper for this convrtion after so many year, but if you have it can you please send it to me. thanks
