LED noob

I guess i'm pretty noob at everything when it comes to car (it's my first car)

I want to change LED (dome lights, trunk, and lights bottom of the doors)

What should I check in LED? How will I know if it will fit, work? I mean, I can't buy any LED right ?

go here to find out what type of bulbs the G35 uses.
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm

Then you can buy your leds really from anywhere like ebay. Or try more reputable companies like v-led or superbrightled

To help you get started, the dome lights use DE3175 31mm and i believe the courtesy lights also use the same thing.

I went with V-leds all the way around. clear sides, clearance strips, courtesy lights, domes, license plate and trunk. Most of the lights on the G are very easy to swap out with LEDs. I did them all in probably an hour to hour and a half total if I were to add up the actual time it took. The only ones that took me a little extra time was replacing my fogs and clearance strip lights because of the wheel well and doing it for the first time. I could probably do it again in 10 minutes now that I know what I am doing. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions.

You can see some of them in my pics here: https://g35driver.com/forums/media-share-g35-coupe-v35/211119-got-inspired-tonight-night-shots-my-wheels-back.html

You get what you pay for! Search around, there is countless threads on the topic and even pictures that people have posted up after they put in the lights.

I agree that you get what you pay for. I spent over $100 for all my LEDs swaps but the 2 domes and 2 courtesy lights for the doors where the most expensive at 11 bucks each.

Edit: Purchased them all directly from V-leds.com

Don't go through Ebay... go through the V-LED website... frickinbrite.com or something like that (or v-leds.com works, too, I think).
