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:

OLD


COMPARE


NEW





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:

OLD




NEW



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:

OLD



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.

AK did you put the smaller LED bulbs in the map light? does your stay on very dim when off?

One of my rear license plate LED bulbs blew after 1 month and Cliff sent a replacement with no questions ask.!! thumbsup:

Yes two smaller ones in the map. I am not sure what you mean.. When off it's completely off. Did you push the bulb in all the way?

That's indeed weird. If they don't lit when pushed all the way in, you can just flip them (this changes the polarity) and should lit properly. I'll take some pictures for you tomm (in daylight). Please remind me if I forget.

Hey AK,

From what i was reading, you put the smaller ones in the dome light, but theyre actually meant for the plate lights. The smaller ones are SMD lights, which create less heat. If you put the bigger LEDs in the plate light, it will generate too much heat and perhaps shorten the life of the LED (since its such a small area and there is no place for the heat to escape).

Thanks for the review, and I'm glad you like them!

^^ Huh?!
I did it the same way AK did it and been using it like that for months.
The small ones were weaker so i guessed they were for the domes? I like the way they light up now. Should i swap them?

Do the LED's for the map light still fade out to shut off when you shut the doors?
