2010 Fx35
I have a 2010 fx35 and wanted to do some work on it after saving some money. I don't have money yet to work on the engine yet so i want to make it look good. I want to get 8000k HIDs. And also change out the yellow lights on the side. Im not really sure what they are called, if someone can help me out with that, that be great. I don't like how they are just yellow, i want to change them to some other other then yellow. Also i want to change the interior lighting to white LED's. If someone can point me to a good website! I've checked out a few places but im not sure if its reliable. One more thing about lighting, Ima guess that a lot of people like to use their back up camera to help them back out, but somtimes in the dark i find that its a little bit dark to see. Is there anything to fix that? I know 8000k maybe illegal in some states but im takin that risk =]

And a off topic question. On youtube i saw a guy with a window up module sort of thing. Most infiniti's when u hold down the unlock key the windows go down, thats great because u can cool off your car before getting in, however sometimes it would be nice if you can put them up and down. Is there anyway to do that? I know some toyota 4runners when u just lock the car they automatically roll up.

Thanks!

Hi, first go to the website below. It will tell you the exact type of the bulb you want to replace. Then you can either go to your local auto store or google online the type of bulb and find the one you want (color, LED, etc...)

I bought my LED's from here:
http://autolumination.com/

Going on 5 years no issues, they have never failed. I think some might have had some issues but I'm not sure, I never had any.

You can try a brighter back-up light, you can find the bulb type in the website below. I never have a problem as the white balance is always adjusted for mine (2003 FX45), strange yours is dark.

The modules you are looking for are here, not sure if they have your year and model, but you can always call and ask or check out the website:

If you want custom work on your headlights, MARUS on the forum does them for your car.

Do you remember which configuration you're using? They have everything from single LEDs to 25 LEDs per bulb

Thanks!

It varied for each application. Basically I went for one that looked about the same size as OEM bulb, so pull them all out and just order like that.

I mean you don't "need" super bright interior lights so 25 LEDs is a bit much. Also, 1 LED, some of them are the "bright" one LEDs so will suffice.

Another thing is picture where the bulb is going -- sometimes you need the full range of a cluster of LEDs, others you just need it on one side, etc...

Main thing is to have it FIT!

Once you pull out all the interior bulbs, you'll understand what exactly you need/want. You might have one fail on you, or one LED out of 25 go out on you -- but that's common with LEDs... Just a warning.

I've been lucky, but this happens. Since shipping sometimes is high, I always just ordered 1-2 extra bulbs of each to keep spare.
