Fitment questions

What years does the Nissan Note rear light fit across — are there different generations?

The Nissan Note ran in two clear generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) from 2013 onwards. Rear lights between these two generations are completely different and will not interchange. Always match the generation of the donor car to your own when getting a quote from a breaker.

Will a rear light from a 2009 Nissan Note fit my 2012 model?

Both a 2009 and a 2012 Nissan Note are first-generation E11 cars, so they share the same basic body and the rear light mounting should be compatible. However, the E11 received a facelift around 2009–2010 which may have brought subtle changes to the rear lamp clusters, so confirm with the breaker that the part number or unit shape matches your specific registration before buying.

Does a rear light from a 2014 Note fit a 2012 Note?

No — a 2014 Note is second-generation E12 while a 2012 Note is first-generation E11, and the rear lights are entirely different between these two generations. This is one of the most common pitfalls when searching for used rear lights on a Note, so make sure you tell the breaker your exact registration so they can pull from the correct generation.

Does trim level affect which rear light I need — for example, does an Acenta, Tekna, or Visia have a different rear light?

Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the Nissan Note — the same unit fits Visia, Acenta, and Tekna variants within the same generation. You may find that higher trims came with LED or smoked styling versus a standard bulb cluster, so flag your current lamp type to the breaker to make sure the cosmetic finish matches, but the fixing points and body aperture are the same.

Is the NS (nearside) rear light different from the OS (offside) on a Nissan Note?

Yes, nearside and offside rear lights are handed and are not interchangeable — they are mirror images of each other designed to fit the specific corner of the car. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS (passenger side, left) or OS (driver side, right) alongside your registration to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Can I use a rear light from a Nissan Note bought at a different point in the E11 generation — say a 2007 car on a 2012 car?

Both sit within the first-generation E11 range (2006–2013), so the basic body architecture is shared, but the E11 is understood to have had mid-generation updates that may have affected the rear lamp clusters. Name the generation confidently to your breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part number against your registration before shipping, as subtle pressing or lens changes within a generation can prevent a clean fit.
