I've been reading all these posts about HID's for the foglights & the headlights, and also seen the posts about updating the interior lights to LED - etc. So I found this chart, and thought I would post it - hopefully someone finds it helpful:

2009-2011 Nissan Maxima Light Bulbs Size Chart

Thanks. I think i may go order some replacements now =]

iMAK

Thanks.

But I would suggest you change the color of the bulb numbers so they will be segregated from the text and will be easy to read, e.g. Low Beam Headlight Bulb Size: H11

Hey guys -

looking to replace the inside lighting with the LEDs but i'm not sure which of these two I would want for the dome lighting

or

I'm thinking the one with 4 LED will be brighter - but will it be overkill?

Also how many of each will I need to do the complete enterior/trunk

Thx

Ghozt

The number of LED's you need:

2 for front door courtesy lights
2 for rear door courtesy lights
2 for dome lights
2 for rear ceiling lights
2 for front footwells
1 for trunk (circuit board LED works best instead of a bulb)

I think all of those are the same exact bulb too. You can go a little further and get some LED's for the visors and glove box but those are different sizes. Also if you do visor LED's mount them sideways or else you will blind the CRAP out of your girl when she goes to check her make up.

If you're worried about overkill I'd try ordering just a few first and installing them - if they're too bright use them for footwells or something.

any of you guys could recommend some good blue hids for my new 2011 maxima

Try here. I just ordered 12000 (light purple). I don't know how it looks since I'm still waiting for my car. Tsunami caused more damage then everyone really knows. Nissan is not producing any more 2011 and no date for 2012 production start. Had to grab one off the lot. Should be here Friday. Cant wait!!

Hello. Noobie here. Have a question... Has anyone replaced out their Glove box light bulb yet? I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima and replaced out all the Courtesy Lights on the doors. Footwell light. Waiting for the dome lights to arrive in the mail in a few minutes. replaced the trunk one with LED as well and also replaced the FOG lights with LEDs as well.... just the last one is the Glove box. can someone please point me in the right direction? Much Thanks.

Sport15

oh and the vanity/visor lights are back ordered... ordered all these from V-leds and dome lights from ijdm....

Ghozt

gotta take the glove box out completely and change the bulb out thru the top. theres several screws holding it on and a side panel that needs to pop off but other than that it comes right out.

Sport15

ahh thanks. i will look for the screws on the side. found the 3 under the box...

Ghozt

back behind the glove box is your in-cabin filter deep on the left side. good thing to change out every 15k-30k

Sport15

Thanks Ghozt. got the bulb replaced out. car only has 9k miles on it, so the filter is ok for now. just waiting on the dome lights now......

I have a 2010 Sport SV with Xenon. I replaced the D2S,High beam and Fogs. The Xenons are Philips Ultinon 6000K with Philips Diamond Vision H11 5000K fogs. The high beams are now Philips Diamond Vision HB3/9005 5000K. I found auto lamps-online.com for the 9005 and H11 and they are in the UK. The Philips they sell are all made in Germany not Canada or Mexico. The D2S I bought were marked not for use in the United States and those came from highperformancebulbs.com. Check out the site from the UK for the Diamond Visions as I have used them for over 10 years and have never had a problem. The package shows up in 7-10 days and I usually have to go to the Post Office to sign for it unless your home for the delivery. I have pictures to post and soon I figure out how to post. All the bulbs match up as white and with the brights on they are blasters.

Sand.man

I also put the diamond visions on with my xenon headlights and they look great. Has anyone done dash lights yet? Or know the size or how many I may need?

Jig9798

There are a couple of people that have swapped out the dash lights. I think there's even a video. It's a HUGE pain and you better be good at soldering.

Ghozt

you'll need several hundred PLCC-2's

I have the factory 35W xenons in my 2012. I want to up them to 55W. How would I do this?

fame126

is it hard to replace bulbs by urself?

cwctw

I can replace the bulbs. I've never had factory HIDs before, though. I had a conversion kit on my Altima, and going from 35W to 55W required my to change the ballasts. Is it as simple as changing the bulbs in this case?

Hello, I’m a new 7th gen owner. I ordered d2s bulbs for my headlights & I’m wondering do I order the same for my fogs or h11 hids? I have the sv tech package thanks
