under the door lights

does anyone know how to change the bulbs that light up the ground when you open the door in a coupe? i want to put some blue bulbs in but if i have to tear apart the door i might not bother.

Re: under the door lights

Owner's Manual, page 8-29, top middle picture.

My question: how do you get them to stay unlit while changing them, other than by disconnecting the battery?

Re: under the door lights

That's a good question. I just pulled every f^%$# fuse and none shut those damn lights off. %$^%$#$% Yes I even checked in the batt compartment. nada. They're combined with something else, or there's another fuse block. I didn't see any fuses for interior lights. Wonder where they're hiding?[img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Weird. Infiniti must hold good, 5 watt egress lighting in mighty high esteem.

Maybe it's easier just to fool the car into thinking the door is closed?

Re: under the door lights

Yeah, I'd think you could just hold in the door pin-switch with a pair of locking pliers or something...Somebody showed how to do it on a post about window tinting, because he had to fool the door into thinking it was closed so he could tint the very bottom part of the window.

Re: under the door lights

Or disconnect the battery and use the instructions in your owner's manual about how to carefully open the door with the battery dead.

Re: under the door lights

If you're gonna do that, why not just open the doors before disconnecting the battery?

Re: under the door lights

Because then the window would already be down a 1/4".

Re: under the door lights

all you have to do is use a flat head screwdriver and pop off the light cover and you can access the bulb it is very easy. i had changed mine to brighter white bulbs.

"Because then the window would already be down a 1/4"."

But if he's changing bulbs in the bottom, why would he care?
