Ankit is right, Id suggest if your not far go to him. Some of the led's are really small and a BIG pain. So spend some money get some peace of mind and watch a pro at work.

true, but if he attempts to do the whole car like what gec/ kenny offers he'd prob. end up spending more than just having kenny do it... leds are expensive !!! rt jsmith ?

Trying to get in touch with the Gec Man

Greetings from Al Taji Iraq where the temprature is a cool 108 today. No worries I am in an AC Single Wide writing this lol. I am coming home to a '05 Maxima and trying to get in touch with Gec to see if there is a way he can do my Cluster LED's to Blue, I have tried the link on his profile and in here and it takes me to a down page. I also tried the PM but I am sure he is a busy man. Anybody know how to get in touch with him let him know I am looking to get this done sometime around September/October when I come home.
Thank you & God Bless.

Afternoon, Deus I am actually Navy Reserve activated back to Active Duty Navy for the UAV Program. I am east of Baghdad whereas your son is west of it. I am assuming he is out there gaurding the Haditha Damn? Regardless my prayers are with you and your son, takes a lot of cojones to go outside that wire everyday. I hope he comes home soon. Take care.

I live right on Long Island... to be honest what i might be doing is something alil more appealing to people on the forum... i'll be doing same day shipping... so you ship me your parts and i'll ship out same day as received... i know how hard it is for ppl to drive without there leds lol... but this is going to be at least a month from now until i actually consider orders... i'll keep everyone updated... will probably be around $500 depending on what ppl want done...

When you come out to where I am right now and have a mortar round land about a thousand feet from where your sleeping, then you can correct me. There was nothing I said that was offensive. Get over yourself.

Hey Alliance do you have a website that your pics are posted on? I can't see pictures embedded in the messages on these stupid computers.

Listen dude last time I checked it was called Freedom Of Speech. I can't help it if you are too thinned skinned and can't take a joke. I am Catholic and people say God Damn you don't see me getting all uptight about it. As I said before get over it.

The LED's look great! Personally though I'd rather spend the $500 on something else. I love the orange lights that come stock with the car. Although by the looks of it, alliance, you got some job opportunities coming your way. GL with that. Hopefully you don't disappear like GEC. lol.

thealliance43 , in looking at your pics, these look brighter than the ones GEC installed for me, LED technology does move really fast and mine are over 3 years old now. Might have to get mine re-done!!!!

Understood J, is there any way a picture can be sent showing the LED's, I can't get embedded pictures on this computer, which is weird because if someone has a picture as their signature or their avatar I can see that but any pictures posted within the message are x'ed out.

Thanks but I meant even brighter (actually looking again they look like a lighter blue than mine, and probably brighter) than the ones GEC did for me, not the stock ones....nice work!

Here's mine (old pic)

Looking good man, keep up the good work. I may have to wind up getting these. Even though I was kind of set on keeping mine Orange because it matches the color of my car. We'll see...
