yah, I hope I don't have that hanging light issue... I don't want any additional drain while car is off.

My led's are supposed to be coming in tomorrow. I hope they work

What brand did you end up going with?

I just remembered that the only problem I did have a slight issue of them not seating properly and they would flicker because of it, but after a while, I got them to work OK and no more problems. The trunk light one however

I might have got a faulty one because that one has a mind of its own.

huh, thanks for the info. yah, i think im just going to leave the trunk one alone.

i bought the Luxtar SMDWB 1210/5050. will put them in tonight and see how they work.

was cheap too, like 8 bulbs for $5.50 shipped.

4SMD led each.

hey enkei- here are some picts of my LED's. im happy how they turned out. white light, not super bright, which is how i like my map lights.

super low profile...

comparison...

finished...

Looks awesome! You're right about the not being super bright. My 15 SMD is overkill

For 4 SMD that's pretty good. Appreciate the pics

I got mine for $24 (both). just ordered

2months update. no issue on lens or LED's.

red2010z · 07-16-2013, 04:58 PM

Anybody have these in stock?

kenchan · 07-16-2013, 05:25 PM

not sure but you can check z1motorsports and also thezstore. both carry the oem lens.

So does the little circle in the lens magnify the light or anything?

Just did mine, all the cool guys had em so I had to join the cool peeps club! Bought these and the GTR start button last Saturday and they arrived at Nissan today (thurs). I had already changed out my LED's with JW Motoring red leds so these were simple to pop out again

I do like them better as well.

kenchan · 01-24-2014, 05:04 PM

hey wats that red you see through the lenses?

does yours light up red?
is that the pcb? can you paint it silver?

Crayon · 01-24-2014, 07:52 PM

Done and done! Thanks for the tips on the parts!

Anyone have any opinion/experience/review on these?:
Linky

I might get them and pop in the LED lights for hatch/map lights. Probably white (not sure I could stand red or w/e).

Pics!
