Yeah, I'd like to know where you got the lights as well. LEDs are a great way to up the luxury feel that Infiniti neglected even in the 2010 FX line.
 
more pictures of the difference they make...
plate lights...
just installed LED license plate lights.....
makes a world of difference imo, I hate the halogen colored plate lights....

Having a hard time removing the panel cover, feels like if im gonna break it

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Final got the cover panel off, but did break one of those places where the clip on the cover goes
Half the time i will mess up something when clips are invloved:rofl:

Ye i had a hard time gettin them off also. there must be an easier way to do this....
 
I had trouble popping the panel back in. The two middle points wouldnt latch back in and actually cracked a little
 
Just ordered 20 8-Led 194 Style Bulbs...will do most of the lights on the fx, and some others on my mini cooper

$9.99 shipped, you can't beat it!
 
I can't figure out how to pry this panel off. Can someone mark the pressure points that I'm supposed to pry?

Thank you OP for the very helpful DIY. This was about as easy they come.

I went with the Morimoto XB LED, 100lm, in white. Brightness matches the replaced OE bulbs and the color matches the factory side mirror LEDs.
New and old:

I like the subtle PIAA look! When i was on audizine some douchebags did HID upgrade and the licence plate looked like Hi Beams Xenon very very ricer if you ask me...those PIAA are pure class!
 
This was much easier then I thought. I replaced the stock bulbs for the morimotto led bulbs.
