extra bulb

Jimbo370 · 04-15-2014, 05:16 PM

So I bought the LED kit w/ reverse lights and decided too difficult to replace. Can someone tell me what other lights these reverse bulbs can replace. Also noticed the overhead light seems to have a low glow unless you turn them off. Could that run the battery down?

just remove the trunkliner to get to the rear lamps. it's easy to do.

As Kenchan said, the back up lights are super easy - easier than anything else that bulb will work in. And it helps tremendously with the rear-view camera if you have one. If you're uncomfortable taking out the rear plastics, pick up a set of plastic trim removal tools from your local auto store and do it on a warm day.

Yes, the overhead LEDs will glow even when off. LEDs draw so little current that what 'leaks' through will light them. And don't worry about them running down your battery. You could leave them on 24/7 and they wouldn't make a dent in your charge. I left the overhead LEDs on in my truck for over 2 weeks while parked and it started right up.

The reverse lights are very simple to replace. I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say it's too hard to swap them out. It may take you a whole twenty minutes.

It's more of a pain on the G since you have remove a bunch of Infiniti from the trunk. I love how most of the luxury is just interrior clutter. The sound-deading Lexus managed to get into the IS300 was impressive.
