I was going to order some of these today......How many bulbs are insude the clock....is it just one? Thanks in advance!
I just replaced the Clock lamps this weekend on my 04 G35x Sedan with a pair of T4 amber led assemblies from V-Leds (link below).. the change was very sweet!
Even in my garage during the day, the difference was noticeable! The leds provided full, even lighting on the clock face, but at night, the difference is awesome!

They were a direct replacement for the bulbs, no problems at all.. took like 10 minutes.. most of that time was trying to get the bezel off without trashing anything!!? (pull straight back.. NOT UP!!!)
The leds provide AT LEAST 2x the light that the OEM bulbs did.. fo sho!
I'll post pics later today...

It's a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display)
It's natural color is a pale blue. There is a dark orange filter in front of it to give it a tint that matches the dash.
To change it's color, you have to come up with a new way to filter the light.
I'm working on a red one right now.
