And a finally got around to my LED swap:
Add the free ground kit I just installed, a brand new MAF, all 6 updated coils, and some Iridium plugs and I would say the max has a little spring in her step this week. O and for the millionth time....DaveB is the MAN!!!

Mine too but I replaced the radio and the trim w/ the GXE kit a while back. Every panel was screwed. Even my sunglasses holder was broken. But not anymore. Now on to the leather seats....hopefully.
Gotta love the 6spd shifter console. I did that swap too.

I don't think that you can even buy the door trim with blue LED's. The switches are a seperate part from the trim anyways and I only ordered the trim. So, yes I did the entire conversion myself.

Instead of replacing all those things, i bought a dash kit that covered it all, and on the rest I bought primer, chrome and clear coats to cover the rest and it came out syck. Also, I got leather seats too, just buy the skins like I did and install them yourself.

+1 hah. I was pressed for time and excited to take the pics so I didnt get to it in time. I thought the same thing when I posted that though. OMG the rest of the car looks like SH*T! But that stuff cleans up.

Got everything but the LED's from DAVEB. The 5.5 gen console comes with the leather boot for around 100 bucks. The LED mod took me a couple hours but I am also pretty **** with this kinda stuff. I modded the housing so that there is an LED between each of the switches and a couple for the level adjustment **** and one for each indicator as compared to the factory 3 or 4 LED's. I'd rate the difficulty a 3 out of 5 though for those who are somewhat electrically inclined. Don't try it otherwise.

Love that Nismo shifter! Great work over all!
Yeah how in the world did somebody could scratch those panels so bad?!! Seems like the previous owner keyed the panels just for the h%$# of it, had to be some psycho or something to make panels that screwd!

That looks great. The LED swap is def something I'd be interested in b/c I've always hated the green window switches. But if it takes being electrically inclined to make it look like you did, I might just have to live with em.
How tricky is it to install the that plastic panel around the shifter (the one with the ashtray and hazard button)?

1. Where did you find the LED's?
2. How much were they?
3. Where is the writeup?
At least answer the first two!!!

Really like the LED's. Took mine apart over ther holiday break and saw the lights were connected to a cirquit board. Did you buy a new board or somehow figure out how to pop out the LED's? Interested in doing this my-self.
Nice upgrades and I am sure you Maxima appreciates it.
