Converted my original fog bulbs to some Yellow HID's that I purchased from operatic.

Mine is the Max with the stripe, that I am getting rid of soon... Also dropping it with Tein S-Tech springs with Illumina Struts...

On with the Pics!

(Mine is on the RIGHT)

 

Also changed out the courtesy lights with WHITE LED's and changed the original dome light with a WHITE LED

I like the blue, i was thinking about doing the same thing. Everything on the dash make blue and interior all blue

 

the white LEDs look good.. it gives the car a more modern look if done correctly

 

Thanks... I have another set on the way for the license plate lights... Give it a more luxury style...

 

Where do you get reasonably bright LEDs? I got some for my headlights (the little light in the corner) and despite the package claim about them being real bright, they aren't. At least they are a closer match for the HIDs.

 

Kudos to the lighting update but have to say I'm not a fan of the courtesy LED lights. The light from the LEDs is too harsh IMHO.

 

The lights in my corners at the moment are still original style filament bulbs, but the LED's that I have installed already are from a member on ebay... I will look up the name and post it soon...

 

Polarg M4's match the headlight better than any LED I've seen...that plus PIAA super plasmas in the fogs makes the front look very uniform at most angles. (the PIAAs and Polargs have a tiny hint of purple whereas the headlights have a tiny hint of blue that's only noticeable at certain angles)

Here's a picture:

 

This is the store I purchased from... Fast shipping to NY too!

CustomLowz - Is your Maxima the one with the rear side markers that are body colored and have "Maxima" carved out in them? If so I've seen your car around and a couple of times and it's really nice. I'm in Colonie.

 

Yeah thats mine... My mom drives it around right now until she buys herself a new car, so I drive around in the max, or my beater...

i hope your LEDs last longer than mine.

i had them for license plate, door, map, and dome.

after a month they started blinking then went out a few days later

 

Yessir,thats a GREAT seller with super fast shipping too.I also get my leds from them..lol.....Anyways,nice pics man.Fogs look great....

 

Thanks

 

Ditto. Only one that lasted for me was the dome light and thats because i hardly use it.

 

some nice lil updates man keep them comming

 

Thanks, and Will do!!!


Recieved my LED's for the plate lights so I will install them once I am out of class...

 

Did you get them from an auto parts store? i tried several from auto parts stores and they were dim and too blue... the good ones i've found have been online at v-leds.com and autolumination.com.. autolumination will give you white LEDs with more of a slight blue tinge to them.. v-leds will give you LEDs with a purer white light

do they? you know, i might try polargs in my parking lights because any LEDs i get tend to have a dot of light instead of a full light like halogens in that lens, and the dot just doesn't look right... but as far as the color, autolumination LEDs match stock HIDs almost flawlessly

 

Just did my License Plate Lights and Front Bumper Lights.

(Plate is a unit i had for my old show car)

Work on your picture taking skills

I have the same type of upgrades to my lighting. I like the looks

 

The LED's (especially the SMT variety) are very bright from:

http://www.v-leds.com

 

You have to get either heat sink fitted, high flux or SMT other wise the LED's are incapable of handling the power surges from starting the car. Our cars were not intended to use LED's so you have to make sure the ones you use are fortified. I think autolumination.com also had a part that you could use to protect the LED's from power surge but I cannot find it on the site anymore.

 

Having a sound system which dims lights constantly doesnt help either

 

here are non-blurry pics

 

I remember having that problem once.........The Big 3 IS THE WAY TO GO..... i used 1 gauge stinger wire for mine

 

Welp, just ordered some more LED's. For the Reverse and the Trunk light. Next I think I will order for the map lights...

 

Yeah I did these same mods about 6 months ago and my lights are still working fine! I find the LED's better than the Piaa's and Polarg's that I used b4! Gp Thunder really had some nice pictures and illustrations that inspired me 2 replace the courtesy door lights, rear licence plate lights, and dome lght and the front marker lights...I found that they matched the 8000K headlight/foglight setup I'm currently running!!!

 

Lets compare LEDS! *Custom boards*


To the OP, I like your mods, but from my experience, I don't expect the LEDs to last long... I went thru several bulbs, and LEDs meant for 12v don't last on a vehicle that isn't.

 

That's pretty intense! Your marker and license plate are HID....! How small is the ballast/igniter?

 

They are not HIDs. They are LEDs

 

Yeah, and are you referring to me or the other member?



That is just a 194 Amber LED

 

i had mine since winter and still no problems

 

Is that a standard lifespan on these lights or was yours an isolated issue?

I was considering doing this to myself but I definitely would want the lights to last longer than a month...

 

I just ordered some LED's for my license plate bulbs.. So am I gonna go through them quickly?

But anyways everything looks good in the pictures, I hope to change the interior lights too someday.

 

You sure you didn't photoshop that picture? My led's are bright but not like that!

 

My question was for 0260Z, I realize that the subject is LED's...My LEDs are no where even that brilliant. So I'm pretty sure they're HID or PHOTOSHOP! Alot of people are HID and will adapt them to any and everything, from side marker lights to backup lights etc.....

 

I have the Big 3 plus more with 0 gauge and i still have slight dimming issues

And ^^^^^ *cmax03* the light looks brighter because of the camera...then again i believe those custom boards use 12 high output leds each.
