exE350

Thanks for the info. Yes, I'm familiar with the designation for mechanical fit, but before spending the money, would like to hear from someone who has installed them and confirms light spread, high/low, compatibility with the outdated electronics in the Nissan NV's, etc, as ASD Dad had done. Nineo's site also lists an H13 "Mini" (not represented as "ultra bright") , so maybe this is the item similar to those used by ASD Dad. BTW, I've found the Amazon ratings to be largely untrustworthy. Thanks again. This is a valuable forum to us, as we have one of the 2021 NV 3500's ... seemingly among the last (and by far the best) of the old-school full size vans.

Just checked, it's ASD Dad that had all the good info on light bulb replacements. Hope you're still involved.

Found a good discussion several years ago (2019) on replacing the poor OEM headlight and fog light bulbs with LEDs. Moderator (OSD Dad?) had installed Nineo H13's (I believe) and was well satisfied. In looking for these, I find an "ultra bright" version (Nineo II), but not sure they're the ones described in this forum. Amazon says these will not fit the NV3500. And I'm not sure i want "Ultra Bright". Are the bulbs described in your 2019 post still available? If not, do you know of an alternative?

We just bought an NV3500 passenger. Best van I've ever driven ... we've had full size vans for many years. Really can't understand why these haven't caught on. We installed Laverne running boards (stainless tube with rubber/plastic step pads, short on driver side). They look great, are pricey and function acceptably. Our previous van, Ford E-350 had factory runners, wider (and thus generally more useful) than anything we could find for the NV, but ugly. Also, the Lavern runners leave a gap between runner and lower body that could get your (or your kid's) foot caught (they offer a plastic piece for ~$80 to mitigate this, but looks like a sliced section of pvc pipe that I could install later). You mentioned installing a Maxxair roof fan. We're investigating that also. Do you know if the ceiling light circuit will carry the 5 amp load? Will the roof structure allow a 14 x 14 cutout? Thanks

BTW, one other niggling question: Do the interior lights, after illuminating when a door is opened, turn off after some period of time? The old Ford does this and is handy when tailgating at a game or outdoor show. Also thanks for the tip on rear A/C. The Ford has problems here too, but seems to have a stronger rear heat/AC installation when it functions. However, from what others have posted here, seems the problem is mostly a flow problem combined with intake clogging under the second row seat. The DIY filters and flow controls should help, along with closing off the second and maybe third row outlets. Does this make sense? We have dog crates installed in the last row position, and ditch the third and fourth row seats. Thanks

Looking for a Nissan NV 3500 passenger van to replace our aging Ford E-350. Since these old solid vans are phasing out, better get one now. Would like to know if any of you have addressed the several shortcomings (at least for our intended use)of the current NV's: 1) Storage box between seats blocks easy inside access to rear (I know, remove the box, but then still need some storage space, and what's under the box that'll need to be covered?; 2) Even the 2012 Ford had power plug in the glove box where I could easily route a line from the head unit for an out-of-sight USB plug. 3) How is step-up access without a running board? Also would appreciate some opinions on ride quality in the rear seat area (we'll be removing these and installing a platform for dog crates - they go wherever we go). The Ford is bone-jarring. While the Ford gave is 15-16 mpg on the road, down to 12-13 with the car hauler hitched up, what have you seen for the NV3500 V8 low top? Thanks for your help folks.
