Hello everyone. I was wondering if we have any experts regarding LED Lights.

I am interested in replacing the lights for my 2003 G35 coupe. The lights that I will be replacing are over the license plate, turn markers, and interior. I was curious on the best bulbs to buy, where to buy them, and the estimated cost.

I was also wondering on the difficulty getting access to the different bulbs. If it is a headache I would rather just leave the original lights in place.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

 

I'd start here if I was you...

I just bought some yesterday actually

 

I just did my 03. Got the bulbs off Ebay 21 for $35 with free shipping. All were pretty easy to install except for the light bar on your headlights, you have to remove the inner fender to get to them. Interior, trunk, bottom of doors and license plate were the easiest and best. Reverse lights didn't seem as bright. With the kit, I now have a few spares as well because it is for both coupe and sedan.

 

I bought various LEDs of eBay a couple years ago. Some are definitely better than others, and they seem to be finicky getting the contacts to stay in place in some of the fixtures. I've had no problems with the front marker lights, and the city/parking light bulbs inside the head lamps (good, because it was a PITA to get to them without removing the headlamp housing).

The side marker lights on the outside edges of the tail lamps went out pretty quickly, but I haven't bothered to check if the bulbs are fried, or if they'd come back to life if I wiggled them.. not really a necessary light IMHO. I noticed the license plate bulbs were out a few months ago (no idea how long that'd been), but when I went to take them out, they both came back to life just when I moved them slightly in the socket. I took them out, cleaned the contacts, put in some dielectric grease, and re-installed them. Good so far.

There are some good values out there, but it's hard to know until you get them, as everyone will claim that their product is "Super Bright!" etc etc..
