New bulbs in guages and door led swap...(pics)....

Yup so i put some new blubs in my girlfriends maxima.....I got them some autolumination....not leds but xenon white 194s....looks a lot better than stock....here the pic....


they came out a lil purple but mostly white and its girls car anyway so purple fits....I also changed the green window swith leds to pink....Once again, my girlfriends car...she likes pink not me...although i still think its better than the green lol....

PEACE

nah man it is really easy...the hard part was fittin the led wen putting it back together...the ones i used were 5mm and stock are 3mm...so i had to make the holes bigger....i suggest just buying 3mm...i have some white ones i got off ebay and they are just are bright as my 5mm ones...

if u have a basic undstanding of soldering and leds its fairly simple...just make sure u get the + and - right on the led....and dont heat up the board too much as it will damage it....

yea the window switches i found to be rather easy also

just a warning to prevent anyone from making the same mistake i did
the drivers window switches have two circuit boards inside... the top one is the one you will be working on witch has the leds on it... after changing the leds out if you go out to the car to test to see if it works make sure you have that grey rubber peice between the boards to prevent them from touching... i didnt and they accidentally touched and i melted the connection on the circuit board and had to run my own power wire from the harness to the top circuit board with the leds

that all may sound confusing and scary to anyone that hasn't worked with leds much or opened their window switches but you will see what i'm talking about... and its not that bad and is a very easy and good looking mod
