I've been waiting a while, and haven't been able to find a good bulb. Just purchased the below:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...9884&rd=1&rd=1

$29.99 US + $16 for shipping (although when I purchased the item, it would only give me an option for $28 for shipping, so I've contacted the seller advising that I won't pay $28, only $16 - as per his listing).

I had that problem once, and the guy just said that his policy had changed. I ended up reporting it to eBay and backed out of the deal. Good luck.

I'd like to order the LED bulbs to replace the existing bulbs throughout the cabin, but I'm not sure what bulbs to get.
I tried using the link in this thread, but the auction has closed and I can't get any details from it.
I also checked the manual, but it's not clear on the bulb type.

Any idea what bulbs I should be ordering?

Are these the right ones?

Thanks!

194s are perfect. I've already switched out all of mine -- except for the door courtesy lights. The plastic lens for those are a bit tight-fitting.

I highly recommend these two sites:

- superbrightleds.coml
- Autolumination.com

I'm not intelligent enough to navigate the superbrightleds site.... the site is a nightmare.
I go there, try to find what I want, and like Patrick the Starfish, begin to drool on myself. (LOL)
As for http://autolumination.com/194.htm, they want $10- per bulb!
That's $90! Yikes

These are exactly what I ordered and received. My car is in the shop until tomorrow so I have not installed. I did however install one in my rental car, an Altima which has the exact same light fixtures for the front and rear domes as the G35. They are white and bring. They definitely look different from the original yellowish bulbs. Like someone said before, the light is like he hue cast from a TV set, blue'ish white I guess. The only one that did not look good in the Altima were the bulbs in the lower door panel. The bulbs faced toward the front of the car when installed and these bulbs do not cast light to the sideway well (95% - that 47.5 % to each side) enough to light it up the lense properly like the standard bulb does. These light housing were however different than the G35, so I'm not sure if they will look the same on the G. If so, these are not the answer for those light housings. I hope that helps.

$10 is only for the newer, fancier ones. If you scroll down, you can get basic LEDs for $2.50. Shipping is cheap, too.

i ordered that ebay set myself...im just awaiting there arrival...by any chance i noticed alot of people saying they changed every bulb except the vanity mirrors. Is there any particular reason for this, or is just because the set of 10 doesnt give you enough bulbs to do that?

When I purchased the 10 pack of LED's I had 2 left over. While on a trip loading my truck at night I noticed there is a truck light which will also accept these LED's. So far I have replaced both front domes, rear domes, lower front door, both license plate light and the trunk light (9). Infinite_636 mentioned the glove box light. I use my glove box so rarely that it does not matter as much to me if it is a normal bulb, but since I have one extra, does anyone know how to replace it? I did not find it in the manual.

Below is the link to Infiniti's online PDF manual. I downloaded it before buying my car. If very helpful and keeps you paper manual clean and unused, if you are into that.

Are these lights a lot brighter than OEM? Anyone have any pictures that could give me an idea of how they look?

dafinman - I wouldn't say there rediculously brighter; just look crystal clean. Don't get me wrong, they are brighter, but not blinding bright. The license plate light looks awesome! Check out my pics. I took some more night shots, will have to update them in a bit. Very easy install. Recommend a tiny common head screwdriver to pop off the covers (owners manual tell you exactly where).
