Made the switch to all led

[themadnewfie]

Just made my 2nd online purchase of the day

Seeing that i cant post links yet if you look for "24pcs premium white led" on ebay you will see what i picked up

No clue how they will turn out but the price was right

Ill give feedback when they arrive and get installed

Cheers

Wanted to show some pics of the lights in action

12 bulbs down .. many more still to add

If anyone has ever swapped out the over head lights in the front of the car (map lights?) Id really appreciate some feedback on how to make those happen

Mine are half way done and the wife hates them already

How to you get to the overhead ones (map lights) and the licence plates ones?

I started with the map lights and was ready to give up, because I thought I had to remove the entire plastic housing. I finally realized all I had to do was pry the clear covers off. Just use a thin blade screwdriver or other thin plastic blade or even a small putty knife and pry them down. Take it slow and work your way around and they pop right off. The license plate cover is a little more work, but easy too. There are 2 black rivet type retainers on either end. I used a thin blade putty knife to pry them loose and then off. Just get under the edge and pry up. They will come out. Don't lose them though as they go back in to hold it back on. When you put the cover back on, make sure the center pin is up, as this allows the retainer end to close in and get through the hole and then once it's seated the center pin is depressed and seated. Once the cover is pried loose, again taking your time to get it off the lights are held in place by a single phillips head screw.

Cheers!

Does the intensity of the map lights change when the door is open or closed (like the original one)? Do these LEDs dim?

The short answer is yes

But the effect is much less than it was before imho

I looked for that specifically and while its not the same im still super impressed buy my cheap upgrade

its very easy. for the front dome lights carefully pry the edges of the clear cover until it pops out. for the rear its the same and the door welcome lights you have to wiggle the assembly out and then the clear lens over the assembly is just clipped on and pops right out. then take out your stock bulbs and replace them with your leds! there are many videos on youtube for the g37 and other infinitis and its the same for the fx
