Changing License Plate Light to White LED, etc.

I'm looking to swap out the license plate light for a white LED bulb along with hopefully the floor lights on the interior, etc.

Is this difficult to do in the G35? In my previous cars it was always easy and really made the car appear a lot more expensive, lol.

Any advice? Thanks!

^^ +1

Did the same set up in about 45 mins. Pretty easy. I think the most annoying was the license plate lights because you have to squeeze your hand up there.

Good Luck

it is extremely easy in a G.
Just look how the plastic covers are held up, and you'll see how to change the bulb.

Should I get Ultra Blue or Xenon White..? I'm not sure which is clearly really sharp. I don't know how the Ultra blue looks like so I'm shaky on that but I wanted something that wouldn't be illegal down here in Virginia.

you should get the xenon white. it makes ur car look for classy, blue=rice imo no offense to anyone. blue is a little too blue.
