Who wants a FREE interior led package for their 8thgen?

2 super bright reverse lights
2 license plate bulbs
4 courtesy door leds
2 front footwell leds
1 for trunk (I have 2 kinds for this application. 1 fits, bright and the cover wiill cover fine. The second one fits, is brighter, but the cover of the bulb would not close. Both work great. I ship out both with the package)
2 spares!!! In case of anything.

To win this package, all you need to do is post your 3 best pictures of your Maxima.

I am off work on Monday and will mail you a complete package.

You do not even pay me for shipping them to you.

Then in exchange, I would like your honest review of the led package on the forum.

If interested in winning this free package, feel free to post pictures. I will PM the winner my number. Send me your address and I ship it out to you on Monday before noon and send you tracking information.

I don't know about best pictures... I recently picked up my 2017 S model.
Added an XPEL clear bra (First attempt at installing one of these) ... a Spoiler and Wing King SR Spoiler (nerve racking drilling holes in a car you haven't made one payment on!)
Modded the Nav in Motion... To my knowledge I am the first one that has posted anything on the web about how to do this on an 8th gen. - Essentially the same mod that is done on the 7th gen - just a different wire.

I have been shopping for LEDs for the interior and the fog lamps.

Excuse the Green/Yellow Pollen that is coating the world in Oklahoma right now!














Future mod short list: Interior LED's - Lighted door sills - Sub - HID's -Exterior Lighting

Talking Loving it

Loving my max for sure. Fantastic!! Awesome lighting would like it be the beacon it should rightfully be! Step aside, foolish, outrageously expensive,exotics.... We can hang, oft without envy.

Yes I am the lucky one. I can say that if the lights are anything close to the quality of dealing with PetitFrereMaxima, then $40 is a great deal. Excellent communication! He has already sent me pictures and bulb locations for each of the types of bulbs. I did some poking around on his profile. He has been around a while, and appears to be meticulous when working on his own vehicle.

I am exited to get the bulbs, I have been researching installation in my other vehicles.

Thanks for the kind words.

I look forward to you getting the lights and look forward to pictures and your review.

I have my QX all ready for my road trip starting on Thursday and I will be gone kind of off the grid for 5 days as I will be in Big Bend National State park just enjoying a little get away.

Here is my truck all transformed to my road trip look...

I'm liking that Rear Spoiler and was looking for one just like that or similar.
Which spoiler is that and where did you get it from if you don't mind. You can pm me if you prefer. Thx.

Great Looking Car.

Ok guys here is the deal - Pics to follow -
The bulbs showed up Wednesday - VERY FAST SHIPPING
I installed the bulbs and tried to take before and after shots (need to re-take the trunk shot, I forgot the before shot.) I did my best to take the pictures immediately after changing the bulb, I wanted the outside light to be as close to the same as the before shot as possible.
First I am not a photographer! Second taking pictures of "light" is harder than it might seem. The change in the amount of light are not done justice by my iphone camera.

I believe this is a good deal! Can a person find all of the bulbs cheaper, yes... Can a person find these bulbs at a much higher price yes... The deal is you can find led bulbs cheaper BUT these are in the quantity and style that you need. You can get on ebay and find cheaper lights... You can wait a month for them to get to you, and then maybe they work and maybe they don't. PetitFrereMaxima has done the leg work for you, he has found the quantity and style you need. He is shipping them from the US, and is available to talk to! They get to you quick and they work!
All bulbs fit very well and functioned perfectly with the exception of the trunk light. If you poke around a bit you can see that trunk solutions from other vendors are often not a bulb, but a panel. There are two options from PetitFrereMaxima, He sends you both so that you have the option and spares. The first option did not work well for me (smaller bulb) the larger bulb that does not allow the light cover to close, works much better. All that being said, the trunk bulb is the one bulb that provides the most difference in the amount of usable light.

These bulbs are a cool white. They provide a very white light and match the interior of the Maxima so much better than the factory. The white light matches the instrument panel nicely. I was worried about the quantity of light from the backup bulbs... I can say that the new bulbs look so much better and whiter but also simply put out more light. It is apparent both standing behind the car and looking at the backup camera.

If you are on the fence about purchasing from a member, I can say that my experience has been stellar! PetitFrereMaxima, has been helpful and honest. I have no reservations about doing business with him. At $40, if you are looking to make that subtle change to make your interior more functional and pop, this is one of the cheapest and easiest mods available. The entire project is maybe 30 minutes, simply requires a flat head screwdriver ( or something to pry the push rivets out of the trunk liner)

In short I feel like the extra light in the trunk and footwells make this worth it... The extra light from the backup lights, and the nice crisp appearance of the license plate and door lights are just icing on the cake!

Yes, I am still offering this. I have just not been on here and for some reason I do not get alerts when I get a PM. I will try to fix that.

I have been more active on my other forum for my suv.

Yes, I still have them for sale. I just do not frequent this site as before. I am more active on my suv forum and on the road trip forum since I have a major road trip coming up.

I just sent you my number in a PM.

I can say mine are working great. I am towards the end of a 3000 mile road trip, plenty of in and out opportunities to use and view the lights. It is a great mod especially at the price point
