Default Just Installed YourLEDShop interior, license plate, and trunk led on my Z

First of all thanks to Cliff for a VERY quick shipping. I finally got my LED kit from yourledshop.com.

Here's their original Thread: YourLEDShop: Interior LED Kits for your 370Z!


License Plate LEDs:
I created a old DIY here so, just check that thread out if you need guidance. I had the custom LED created for me by DIGItonium (DIGItonium's LED replaced vled ones). They were pretty expansive but man they lasted me forever! So, I swapped out those for these new one. I instantly noticed these LEDs has slight more luminance (which I wanted). Here's how they look:

Trunk LED

Swapping trunk bulb is very easy. Take a flat screwdriver and put some electric tape (just so that you don't scratch anything). Then, pry out from the left side of the housing. It'll come off very easily. Swap the LED and you're all done! Check out the pics:

It looks blue but actually it's bright white.


Interior Lights

Please follow DIGItonium easy DIY here for instructions on how to remove the housing for these bulbs. If you're tired of stock bright yellow interior light and want something that's a little more dimmer and nice, these are perfect! They are slightly dimmer than OEM. I think they look much better. Check them out:

I almost burned my finger changing them (as I had the door open for a while). Let them cool down first and then touch them.






These are NOT blue. They are bright white. Just my camera making them blue.








Again, camera makes them look blue.

You can change all these 5 bulbs in about 5-7 minutes. Quick swap

Verdict: I am pretty happy with these. I think the OEM map lights are too bright. In this 21st century, we no longer have to look at maps, thanks to Satellite Navigation Systems. So, these dimmer bright white led is a good replacement IMO. Trunk light could be a little brighter but it's not too bad. If you still have the yellow oem for the license plate, you should def get these. Look 10x better.
