I would say go with A. Bright White (If you plan on using your lights at all to look for anything at night the blue might not be as good and if your going to drive with them on blue strains your eyes. Also in some states if not all I believe that it is illegal to drive with the interior lights on.)

bright white.... it will add to the look of your car where the colored ones likely won't.

I removed all the posts that do NOT pertain to LED's.

Maxima2009, I highly suggest you read ALL the stickied posts at the beginning of the forum. The LED mods and many others are found there.

Also, the forum Rules are posted there. Please make that your next stop after. 1st and only warning.

Hyper white LED's all around.

I did this on my second gen g35 sedan and got more questions about those than any other mod I think ive ever done lmao. Everybody would ask "oh wow it comes with these lights, it reminds me of a lexus".

I just ordered a set of the Bright White's from eBay for under $50 shipped.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

I'm new to the forum (first post actually), as I just bought my car last Monday ('10 Pearl White SV), and this will be my first "mod" to the new car.

I got them in the mail today! Thanks "ledbulbz" - they look like high quality pieces. I test fit one into the door puddle lights, and it fits great and works great; looks even better! I'll do some photos and a short write-up this w/e when I install the rest of them.

To other Org Members, the seller has registered here on the site under the name "ledbulbz" and he is going to work on finding out what it takes to become a Vendor here, I thought that was pretty cool.

Stay tuned for photos, etc.

I would go with bright white since it will make it a little bit easier and clearer to see things inside the car at night with white rather then with a blue tinge! I bought bright white 5k LEDs from VLEDS.com and put them in the rear lic plate housing and trunk and WOW, what a difference! really jazzed the car up and looks like the stuff they put in the Lexus, BMW, Audi vehicles, etc!! the OEM halogen trunk light blows and the LED illuminates the entire trunk now at night!

so glad I did it!!! Nissan, Infiniti, and all the other luxury divisions should be using white LEDs standard for everything now; not only do they save on money, energy, the battery, etc but they really are better then the halogens, look a heck of a lot nicer, and updates the look of the cars!!

Buyers beware, local pick up recommended. Slow to ship out items already paid for.

i did blue on the window switches and dome/map lights and blue gauge overlays and white on the floor and when you press the button for the map lights. the blue is on normally for the map lights while the headlights are on for ambient lighting like the mercedes e-class. I don't think its illegal since the e-class does this provided its not too bright and distracting to other drivers.
