Fitment on a used rear light varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The R51 Pathfinder ran from 2005 to 2014 in the UK, so rear lights from any R51 within that generation are the starting point for a match. However, there was a facelift in 2010 that may have brought changes to the rear light design, so confirm with the breaker whether the part they have is pre- or post-facelift and check it against your registration before buying. Never assume a 2008 unit will drop straight into a 2012 without that check.
Your 2011 sits on the post-facelift side of the 2010 refresh, while a pre-2010 unit is from the earlier pressing, and whether the lens shape and mounting points changed at that facelift is exactly the kind of detail you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration. Name the boundary to the breaker — pre-2010 versus 2010-onwards — and ask them to verify compatibility directly. Do not assume fitment across that facelift year without that confirmation.
Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the Pathfinder; the body shell and light apertures are the same across SE, SVE, and Aventura grades within the same generation. What may differ is whether the lamp unit has additional functions such as a different indicator arrangement or a puddle-light feed, so visually compare the connector and lens against your original. The part will physically locate correctly across trims, but match the connector configuration before finalising with the breaker.
Yes, nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) rear lights are handed and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. On the Pathfinder the NS is the left side and the OS is the right side when viewed from behind the vehicle. Getting this wrong is one of the most common ordering mistakes, so double-check before you confirm the quote.
The R51 Pathfinder was sold in several markets under the same basic platform, but whether indicator, reflector, or lens configurations differ between market-specific variants is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. UK-spec lighting regulations can mean subtle differences in the lamp assembly even where the exterior looks identical. Route any cross-market part to the breaker for verification before purchasing.
