License Plate Light Bracket – 2011-2017 Nissan Leaf

3D-printed replacement license plate light bracket made for the 2011-2017 Nissan Leaf: a simple way to replace a cracked, lost or hard-to-find original part.

About this part

This is not a licensed or original Nissan part.

My 2013 Nissan Leaf number plate lights were left dangling one evening when the pressed mild steel frame for my lights rotted and finally disintegrated! I live in a wet part of the world, so plastic seemed to be the cure rather than paying £70 (€84 or $93 US) + fitting to Nissan.

Apparently they use the same junk bracket in the following cars and years:
Nissan Leaf 2011 - 2017
Nissan Cube 2009 - 2014

I designed it to print on 3D printers with a base of 19cm or more, and is in three parts.

This project was a bit of a task as my original part was only about 50% rusty and 50% dust, lots of hours of trial and error.

There is a small but necessary lip on each of the lamp holder mounts, which unfortunately has to be there to clip the lamps in correctly, however is printed upside down to minimise support material.

I printed at 50% as it only added about 10 minutes to the print time, but I think 25% might work just as well.

I know its a bit of a niche thing, but hopefully just one other person will find this useful and I will be happy.
