Installed a 12v power port cover in my '03 from a 2008 Mustang GT. Cheaper than stock plug!

 

Wired in bunch of hidden led strips into the entry module so when you open the door its like opening the Door to heaven!!!

 

i would like to see a picture of this

 

LED's are always a good buy
Murano windshield-washer nozzles are fairly cheap (about $30)

 

If you do not mind me asking, how did you wire this? The current method I have is unsightly and a slight safety hazard in my opinion.
(I have it wired from the passenger door light into open air at the door hinge, then back into to the car, to a relay where it relays power to another circuit that powers the lights.)

If you do not mind, a simple walk through would probably suffice. Pictures would help me tremendously since I am more visual.
Thanks in advance.

 

12 volt cig lighter in center console. Underhood led strip.

 

Short shifter <$3 mod under the hood...love it

LEDs in place of stock bulbs for instrument cluster.

 

Yeah post this up dude always like to see what others are doing.

Dunno how he did it, but here:

As for me? I think I'd just ***** this thread up with that little stuff lol.

 

What's the deal with murano washer nozzles?
Pics are always welcome.
Hell yes, fill this thread!!!! But please, try to keep it within the Theme.

Yes, worthless thread without pics.....

Here is the cool white LED gauge mod....looks worse in pics....for some reason when taking pics that bright spot shows but the light looks evenly distributed.

 

 

Because digital camera.


Here's my gauges. Out of all my little mods this is easily the most appreciated on the day-day basis.

 

 

Yea all you have to do is take your time find the wire that comes through the door under the dash that powers up your courtesy lights then bam you got power when you open doors to your led strips. Mine are all white I got one under dash, under seat facing forward, and rearweard towards the back.then a long one under the door to light up the ground. It actually really bright!!

 

And yea I would be interested in this murano upgrade as well whats so special about them?

 

The mureno nozzles have a fan pattern to the spray as opposed to the stream pattern the maximas have.

 

Hmm gunna have to get me some of them guys

 

No mods needed? Just plug and play??

 

the hose connect has to be trimmed slightly to clear the hood (at least on the A32)....not sure about the A33

 

Im in the process of getting new nuts/bolts/washers for engine bay and cleaning it up. Might paint my OEM intake same color as car body, got black cluid reservoir caps on the way too

+1 on LED interior too

 

Now that mod is cheap, but it's not really what I would call "EASY" takes some time to do that and you have to solder and crap. But the rewards are great though!! I still need to do this to my A/C controls. I hate that GREEN LANTERN CRAP....also the ignition switch needs to be changed from that GREEN THROW UP COLOR to blue!!

 

Mureno... Mmmmh.... Just joking man.

Also, I want that nozzles. I hate how sometimes the nozzles just got something stuck and just got 1 stream of water instead of 2.

fog light rewire))) just takes some cutting and solder) next are leds in cluster/radio/climate control

 

Yikes, didn't know the spelling police were on my tail.

 

i plasti dipped my rear emblems, it looks better

 

i did a write up on the led MOD with Tunermax search for it OP.and just watch out for a Member named CLASHEZ DO NOT take any advice from him it will turn you into a sausage wrangling twink ricer!!!

 

The "CAD" mod is cheap easy & effective. http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ml#post8150747

 

My favorite lighting mod is just getting the map lights to come on with the dome light.

 

I'm an led ***** but seriously enough with all the led lighting talk, there's already a thread for that.

I'd put painting rusty calipers on the list of cheap easy mods.

 

this is my 2nd favorite.

3rd favorite was underhood lighting.

 

I completely redid the interior of my truck with LED but haven't started on the Max yet. I'm kind of waiting till I find out how to do it and keep an effective dimmer. I do a lot of night driving and like to have my interior as dark as possible on long trips. was never able to achieve this with the truck. I'm also still in love with the instrument clusters lighting on my friends 91 Max. I may try to duplicate that instead.

I'd also like to swap for some black trim tail lights and remove the pin-stripe. I think I'm going to work towards re-doing the stereo 1st though.

Your truck's dimmer sucked then.

It works fine.

 

haven't looked that far into it but its something along the lines of the dimmer not limiting the voltage enough to dim the LED's without them going out. it changes a little bit but not much.

Seen this thread yet? http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...one-works.html

 

Sure, like I said, your trucks dimmer sucks.

The maxima does not have this problem.

 

Very Nice!
