For the LEDs, you only need to mask off 1 of the pads because both pads on one side are not the same. There are 3 ground and 1 positive. You need to mask the extra ground pad. Look at the pictures to see how it was done.

New to the site. Just picked up my 2012 370Z on 20 Jan 12 and I LOVE IT! I enjoy this site and will be posting often I am sure.
The "orange" lighting though... really gross IMO and would have thought with todays technology there would have been a way to just "change" the color. I mean I can change my display color so you would think that would be easy to as well right... SOOO I live in Vero Beach, Florida and if anyone knows a custom shop around here please pm me the details as I would love to get my lighting changed to a blue... thanks...love the pics of what you did but wow, you have balls sir... I would have never attempted that on my own. |

Indeed, I do. Indeed, I do.
It appears some of the newer Nissan/Infiniti models did away with the amber display backlight like the 2012 GT-R.

I've not attempted this mod. You have to use a Dremel since it is zap sealed. There are about 3-4 SuperFlux LEDs inside that can be changed out. If I were to modify it, I would add a dim white LED connected to the parking light and retain the amber LEDs for the signal.

Where did you get the blue LED backing? Was this a custom mod or can the blue LED backing be purchased?? Thanks. |

I'm confused on what you did from step 2 - 3 to make it blue...
