Your owner's manual should explain how to remove the lenses to access the bulbs. You will need four T6 (8 watt) bulbs. Two for the front map lights and two for the rear dome lights. Personally I used the PIAA Xtreme Whites and I am happy with the results. They are $9.95 a pair here:

What year sedan do you have?

I can also vouch for the PIAA Xtreme Whites. Installed them a year ago in my 2003 sedan. Very simple to do.

I'm not sure what light you're referring to. I haven't changed any lights in my dash.

He's talking about changing the dash illumination lights, instrument cluster etc.

He wants a pimp-*** looking blue dash like in the VW/Audis and the Acura TL.

Last time I checked those lights were orange, not yellow.

Have fun! Somebody on here has done it but it looked extremely time consuming and tedious. Looked amazing but involved chaging out DOZENS of LED's. Not a simple job at all. I'll keep my orange dash.

accordfreak did it to his coupe. It is hours and hours of work, but the result is pretty amazing.

Interior Lights

The kit that I bought, I believe has 8 lights. One was for the trunk, which was different shape. The other seven I am not so sure about and it did not come with directions

Anyway I think that two are for the map lights and the other two are for the vanity mirrors. And maybe one right above the foot rest. After that it's anybody's guess. Any ideas? Also, how to gain access to those different locations would be greatly appreciated.

This is bit off the subject, but I have a question that maybe someone out there can answer. Are the buttons in the mirror for the home link and auto dimming feature lighted when the headlights are on? I just picked up my 05 G35 and they do not light up when the headlights are on.

Thanks
