welcome to the forum man, it's definately nice getting opinions and help from people who actually own the car you know?

 

Great thread, i dont mean to thread jack in any way but i wanted to offer a suggestion for LED lighting. Would the 7th gen community be interested in LED boards being made for the map, dome, side lights, door lights, and possibly lic plates? I did this for the 5th gen community (5th gen owner, here ) I noticed in the pictures that the 7th gen has almost the same housing as the g35 sedan (I did my brother's whole interior over with led boards NOT bulbs) so it'd be pretty easy to do as i have the measurements all set.

here's the old thread, let me know i can get a list going and go from there if there is enough interest. thanks! makes me want to get a 7th gen later

 

yea the boards are cool but they cost more and require more power usage, but they definately look brighter and nice as well

 

Ok I have two questions. Can we replace the lighting on the mood light? It is currently orange and I just can't take the color anymore also can I turn the light completely off. Secondly, has anyone replaced the rear turn and brake light signals to leds. If so can you post pics.......

 

Is it possible to upgrade the mirror turn signals to leds... If so how and has anyone attempted this yet.

 

I'm changing my interior lights to LED's this week to a bright white i hate the ones in there now. But i was unaware you had to change anything else? i thought it was a simple R&R with the bulbs.


"(IS THIS ENUFF)"??
Side Bar

 

thx for the help...wouldnt have been able to install it with these thread

 

Does anyone know the tag light bulb number?

 

So i changed my lights yesterday before the meet!! pics will be up soon but everything is SICK>>> led interior BANANAS,,, Fog H11 8K.....CRAZY, now you know i have to change my headlights,, why??? cuz they MADD my FOGS are brighter.... LMFAO.., to the bank..

 

Just ordered my LEDS. Seems like a straightforward install. Looking forward to it. Thanks 8885!

 

my bad guys, i recommend not buying the LED bulbs for the license plate lights, since those are 'constant-on' at night they will not last long, I need to replace them and I'm probably gonna purchase the 2 license plate lights from autolimnation, i'll let yall know how it goes...

 

oops that's no good. i already changed it to LEDs. hmmmmm
hope it would last long

 

Wow.. VERY nice.... I think that'll be my first "modification"... pray for me..

 

Beautiful pictures and excellent mod! Wonder if the new lights would affect the "premium mood lighting"?

 

I first saw leds on my wife's car and thought they gave her car a crisp look. I have the frost white w/prem & tech package and followed the advice from this thread to buy and install leds. One word, "WOW", and that's from everyone that sees the car at night. I changed all the interior bulbs though, including the vanity ones. I even have led fog lights and they look great, bright white with a hint of blue, no mod needed. I do need some instructions for changing the glove box bulb though so if anyone knows how please post.

 

Nice, thanks for taking the time to take pics and give a good-walk through!

 

Hey all, I'm new to the forums, as well as owning a Nissan. I just purchased an 09 maxima SV w/ premium pkg, and its a wonderful car so far but Just to be sure can someone sum it all up for me by telling me which LED bulbs i need to get and how many for a replacement on every possible light in the car including the license plate? I am looking to make this order as soon as I make sure I know what I am getting because i have nooo idea about any of these LEDs

thanks again

 

anyone?

 

194

 

Ya i have everything except for the trunk, vanity, and the glow box (could not get that damn cover off) bulbs swapped out.

 

did you try reading this thread your in? LOL

 

Turned out great, looks nice. I like the red.......

 

No one seems to want to answer this question or questions. Has anyone changed the rear turn signal lights? Does anyone know how to get rid of that ugly has orange interior light? Thanks

Use tiny pic or photobucket to get these to work.

 

On the v-leds website which exact bulbs do I need?

 

sweet DIY!! great job bro!

 

don't buy from v-leds, I've had their bulbs in for about 8 months now and 3 bulbs have already blown, I recommend buying from autoillumination...

 

Thanks michaelle8885! That was the first motification I made to the car, absolutely loving it! I took your advice on ordering the heatsink bulbs for the license plate but unfortunately ordered the others from VLed. I can always reorder from autolumination if they burn out. Its funny, my best friend gave me the WTF?! look when I told him I ordered the bulbs but now that he saw them, is ordering a set for his G35. Very classy looking. Thanks again!

 

i changed all my lights and it looks great, but i just noticed the 2 lights under the driver and passenger legs, has anyone changed those lights and is it the same size as the rest. Thank you

 

Ya they use the same 194 Bulbs...

 

yea no problem dude, I see your in ATL also, nice man, hopefully I pass by you one day, I got the black max with the same taillight lights, so you should know haha

 

thanks for a very useful guide!!!

 

I started with the side door lights as you suggested, and then moved on to the top two reading lights. Initially they started working, but when I tried to make reading light connections more secure something happened and now none of the interior lights will turn on. There's still power to the dashboard and radio, etc, just that the interior lights don't work now. I checked all the fuses and they are all ok. Any idea what could be wrong?

 

try to the fuses like you suggested and if still then take out the bulbs and put in the stock/original bulbs and see if those work

 

Thanks for the tip. Turns out a fuse was blown. I didn't catch it at first because it looked normal. I had to use a voltmeter to find out it was bad. I know this thread is a year old, so thanks for the quick response.

 

great thread, I'm planning on using http://autolumination.com/194.htm for my leds. Now whats the biggest size I can get?

Thanks

 

just spent 159.82 on led bulbs for the whole car from http://autolumination.com/194.htm

5 Led SMT - 2 Map Lights, 1 Glove Box Light, 4 Door Lights, 1 Trunk Light, 2 Passenger Lights

25 Led SMT - 2 floor lights

Goldstar - 2 License Plate Lights

Vanity Mini 3 Led SMT Festoon(3022) - 4 Vanity Lights

 

Deadly...which LED's did you buy for the footwell lights (the ones on floor near front passengers feet)???

Specifically which 5 led light did you buy from autolumination for the map/personal lights front and back. I bought a 4 led from them and they work in the front but were too short for the back so I put them in the doors.

 

I listed what leds I bought from them. Click on the link I purchased #1, #3, & #4. Hope that helps.
