Has anyone changed out their LEDS on their 00-01 maxima on their stock bose cd player and the switches on the doors for the windows and behind the dashboard? I'm thinking of making them a brighter white but i don't want to start if it is going to be too hard. Also has anyone changed that stupid green led that lights the ring around the ignition switch?

 

i changed that stupid green light around the ignition switch and i bet a lot of people did that as well. you have to buy 74 sized bulbs on ebay or autolumination.com or even superbrightleds.com.

it was a b*tch changing mine because I was reading the write up and im not that good with the "mechanics of my car" at that time.

its do-able.

i didnt do the lights behind the cd player, and dash.. but i believe METAL MAXIMA did and a bunch of others.

 

i did everything except behind dash which im going to do in the future...it requires alot i mean alot of patience and alot of LEDs to do it the way i did it

 

hey tecao, was the door panels easy to do? i was thinking about taking it step by step and start on the door leds. I never used a soldering tool before so ill be running some test on some junky circuit boards before messing with the real thing. did you solder them yourself? and where did you get those leds?

man i love the custom interior job you do to your max. i really like the rear tail lights with the led rings. have you done that to your lights?

 

yes i did all the soldering myself and i got the leds from ebay, its pretty easy once you do it the first time after that you say to your self thats what ive been worried about and itll go from there, real easy my friend
the rear tail light pic with the LEDs on my site is just an idea i wanna do eventually to them...... but thanx for the props

 

xTeCaOx, Are there any 74 bulbs that are led that you can just plug and play. Are all the radio and door panels require soldering? I want to make it easy on myself but it sounds like I might have to solder if I want the same effect you got....

 

Yes You are my New Guru master!

Teach me o wise one!

 

Here are pics of my LED conversion, I have a write up on my cardomain, it's not easy but worth it if plan on keeping your stock radio for a while. Countless number of people have said they love it.

Let me know if you want any help...

 

i wanna do my AC controlls, and door panel.......
anyone have instructions on how to do those?
i did the ignition ring, and it was easy, i just bought blue LED from autozone, cut the wires from ignition light, and just put red on positive and white i think on negative....really easy...
i hope that AC controlls will be easy to change.....
thanks

Hrmm Tecao did his radio lights too, how do you get that done?

 

no one has found any led bulbs that will fit the socket for the cd dash but im sure its out there.....i did it my way just because i wanted to fully light up the buttons..... it was really tedious but well worth the final product

 

thanks PRI63, and tecao ill be waiting for that tailight mod of yours. Im definately interested in that style.

 

Does anyone else have a how to? the one Pri63 has is a bit confusing?

 

I too am looking to do this on my 01 Max. Is there any other how-to's?

 

ok guys so i just attempted to put leds in my auto cc. i got 5mm ultra violet bulbs and put one in to test it out. i put on my lights the bulb flashed once and neva came back on. now i found out my auto cc doesnt work at all except the rear defroster? anything to check?? or is it fried and i need a new one
thanks
