Hi does anyone know if the new J11 rear lights fit the old J11. They look the same shape?

Thanks

Tekno, which New QQ do you mean the 2021 J12 or the J11B. The J11A & J11B do look similar but obviously a close check needs to be done, externally they look similiar but what is behind - Fittings / electrics for example - hope this helps Dave 😏

Welcome to this forum.

They certainly appear to be the same in sheet metal terms but I can't recall anyone having done this modification so wiring connections may be different.

Check out pictures of scrapper rear lights on eBay to see if you can see any differences on the backs.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yes it was the J11 A and B which you can see look identical but as you say may be a diff story when it comes to the electrics. Thought it could be a nice easy mod to do and was hoping someone had.

Good idea though to check eBay pics will do a quick scout about.

I would imagine that a major manufacturer would not be keen to make it easy to "upgrade"
I bet the lights fit but the connectors are different and would require a high level of DIY ability to swap.
