You are right Hamzer, the same as mine, the dims very shortly then go off. Not a full fade as you said.

 

Went for a nighttime drive and I have to say that pictures don't do justice to how bright the LED's are. Only one that is not as bright is the license plate one but it's okay. I might still change the rear map lights to the boards because they are really bright up front. Definitely a worthwhile and easy mod.

 

What a VERY helpful post! Thanks for taking the time. I have had the bulbs for a couple of months and finally have a chance to install them today. With your help, it takes all of the guess work out of it.

 

is it just me or are these not very bright? i have a 6th gen installed with leds and mine glow like it's pitch dark when the sun hasn't even completely set yet. never the less, great write up.

 

nicee write up.. about to do this next week

 

DID mine today got the 72 LED debating if i like the bright white or the Soft white ORIG lights might put my MAPS back to standard lights and leave teh back to the LED.

 

just did my 2011 Maxima with these. got them from http://autolumination.com/ bought two extra for spares. install went smooth and they look great.

2 upper left corner of pic are the license plates leds
2 bottom left are floor leds
4 middle are vanity mirror leds
10 on the right side of pic are dome, door and headliner leds

 

how much were they? do they sell them in a kit? I looked but didn't see a kit

 

NICE REALLY LIKE IT I JUST BOUGHT NORMAL XENON WHITE BULBS BUT THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THEM TO THE LED JUST CUZ IM PRETTY SURE IT WOULD BE BRIGHTER

 

where can i find the map light i think it is for the 5th gen the front the round bulbs like led white or xenon white w.e???????

 

no kit. just searched for the right size bulb (mostly 194's) then decided on how many leds per bulb i wanted. went with the 9 SMT leds for the dome,headliner and doors. 25 SMT leds for the floor lights. superstar with metal heat sink for the license plate leds. Mini 3 led SMT Festoons for the vanity.

 

I guess I have been reading lot of posts. I am confused between V-Leds and Autolumination site. Do you know which one is better and what part numbers to order. I am very new to all this.

Thanks for your help.

 

I just came inside from changing all my bulbs to led..
I went to my local shop and picked up 6 sets of bulbs.. On the syvainia site they say 175, 168 or 194.. All the bulb sockets are same on our car. The choice is whether you want the LEDs shooting forward or all around and how many LEDs you want on each bulb... I picked up a couple for the footwells with abt 10 LEDs that shoot all around while the dome and doors I got a bulb with 6 LEDs that go all around.. I hope that helps a bit...

 

Thanks for the reply Man.

It really helps. Which shop did you pick yours at? I really would like to do them but there is so much information and they all point to different directions and not being a techy guy really doesnt help. I cam across this site
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Nissan-Maxi..._nissan_09.htm

Is this all i need?

 

The link you showed should work.. The kit looks like it contains only LEDs that point in one direction like a flashlight...which should be good for the dome lights but not too good for the doors or footwell..

 

anyone changed the glove box bulb?

 

has anyone changed the orange behind the buttons? or even the start/stop?

 

Like this....?? Answer is yes, but it's not just changing a bulb. all leds and takes experience and time to not mess up the lights or circuit board.

 

ooooh yes just like that!!! i'm definitely going to have a friend who KNOWS what they are doing do this but i haven't seen anyone here yet.. i love how you did the steering wheel too!! awesome!!

 

great setup- i like it

 

Great DIY, looking to do this soon, thnx for the info!

 

Sorry to drag up an old thread (although this is superbly useful).

The original posters link to eBay for the LED lights is dead. Would these do the same job?


Thanks!

Or any recommendation from these:-

Any thoughts on this package?

How have these lights been? Would you happen to have any pictures, especially of the floor lights? Would your car had to have come with the footwell lighting option to need those or can I add them since my car didn't come with that lighting package?

 

I just bought these:-

Will let you all know how they pan out!

 

I bought a kit from exledusa.com and got their maxima kit, these are BRIGHT. the map lights are too bright for me everything else is perfect. I took some before and afters to show













These shots are taken at the same time, 24 hours apart once I swapped them. Only difference is 3 I had door closed and 4 was open, but you can see by 5 and 6 how little that mattered. I have 15% tint. Like I said I love them everywhere except maps are too bright, I might try and deactivate a few of them to lessen the intensity. But overall quality and color is great from the kit and couldn't have been easier

 

Oooh, I like those. Pricey... Maybe... next month... ahhhh....

 

I have never seen these before.
Thanks for the page!

 

Haha wow, the difference is something else

My LED's have shipped. Thanks for this useful thread I'll be installing them myself

 

Yea I ordered the kit during a holiday sale so took advantage of some savings, but worth every penny. Just still waiting for customer service to get back to me about the one from the kit that didn't work

 

What though for this kits

I love this mod. How did you go about doing this?

 

Have you ever changed the light in the glove box?
