I currently have a G35 coupe (2006) and hate the orange interior lights. I am thinking about changing the lights to white (or maybe red).

Just wondering has anyone done this? And if so, what led bulbs do I need to buy.

 

Search and ye shall find

 

I have searched. The only person I am aware of doing this is "accordfreak" in 2004. I am aware that changing the LED lights for the dome, trunk etc are not that hard. However, I am interested in changing the lights for the AC, clock and gauges.

And would like to know people that have changed that colors and grabs some tips from them.

 

plcc2 leds for the ac control, gauge cluster, window controls, and heated seat switches. for the gauge cluster you will need to get a custom gauge face because it is actually tinted orange that you cannot get off without ruining the entire gauge face. for the radio they are 0805 leds. i am assuming you are proficient with a soldering iron

 

 

Thank you cakestar this is exactly what I wanted. I will try and do this this weekend and post pictures once completed.

 

It involves soldering and installation of new LED's by solder into a board. Do you have those skills? This is not plug and play.

 

Yeah I have opened it up and it seems a little harder for me. What I might do is actually get a friend to do this for me. I don't really want to make a mistake.

 

Patience is one of the most important parts here, but best of luck either way. It would look much better in another color!

 

Yeah I hate the orange color. I also hate the G35 steering wheel. I might buy a G37 steering wheel instead.

I wish it possible to just get a G37 cluster as well and just install it in.

 

i used g37 needles and did a blue and white scheme on mine.


and also used a modified g37 wheel

 

but you will have to buy a g37 airbag (300-400)

 

I am picking up a G37 steering wheel from a wreckage today for $150. I am also considering buying the G37 gauge.

Has anyone installed a G37 gauge in a G35?
Is it even possible?

 

the steering wheel included an airbag? if it was just the wheel you can actually get them for much cheaper than 150$.

gauge cluster cannot be swapped. closest anyone got was sexyrob:

he got some of it somewhat functioning but in the end he could not make it work, i have a feeling it might have been a nats issue though, if you disable nats it might actually have a chance

 

he actually put it up for sale. this is a couple years ago but he might still have it
