Anyone LED the turn signals? I like LED turn signals much better - bright and it eliminates the fade.

Anyone with flickering license plate LEDs use the ones with heat sinks?

The heat sink variety is made to be constant on instead of intermittent. I haven't bought any yet, but just looking for opinions.

Just picked up '09 sedan a week ago and I agree that yellow lights got to go I want my lights to match up dashboard/illuminated kickplates.

Is this size guide applicable to '09 G37 too?

Probably close for most, but to be sure, here's a database for most, if not all cars -

These are the ones I'm using for the license plate:

I saw it before but found incomplete for '09 Sedan. Comparing with '07 Sedan, the main only difference seems to be Rear Sidemarker (LED on '07; 194/194LL on '09) and sections for Dome Light, I and Step/Courtesy Lights are missing from '09 model.

Best I can figure out, on '07 model Dome Light is just a duplicate of Map Light since specs are the same and I am not aware of a difference (I mean, there's that little white light, at least on '09, but it's different).

Specs for Vanity lights and Glove light are missing, but I guess I can use yours there too.

Dumb question, but where can I find the instructions on replacing the lights (mainly concerned with removing bulb housing). Is it in the manual?

Finally, is there a reason you didn't order Vanity lights from V-Leds? They also have them (http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/V...-p7114848.html).

Not all G35s use a vanity bulb like that. Pull off the cover and you'll see if you can use a simple bulb replacement or not.

Well, then it's a good thing I have a G37 But I see your point. What specifically am I looking for - dimensions or are there some numbers?

P.S. I got the bulb specs from http://teamlags.com/vanity-light-rep...-infiniti-g37/

P.P.S. If MyG37 and G35Driver are run by the same people, it'd be nice to see better organization. Logic tells me to go to MyG37, but this forum seems to have more useful information...

All you have to do is pull the cover off and the rest is obvious. It'll either be a bulb or a board with a bulb soldered on, and these replacements won't work if you see the board.

Okay, took a cover off, it says "12V, 2W", and the bulb measures about 28 x 5.5 mm, so it seems that 29 x 6 mm bulb from V-LEDS will work Now need to figure out how to get to glove compartment bulb...

For the rest, I ordered 6-LED boards from mrwong@statik on here (except license plate lights where I got Halo bulbs from him).

Thanks everyone for putting up with a newb!

Has anyone put in 7440 LED bulbs in turns signals on a 2007 G35x?

I have already bought LEDs to replace all the interior/exterior lights. I'd like to make sure that i can replace the 7440 turn signal bubls with LED equalent front & back.

It seems like the 07 has an electronic flasher, has anyone done this without getting "hyperflashing" or messing up the electricals ?

Recently, i've found out that you just have to change the flasher unit to an electronic one. But that's really for older cars. The flasher or "clicker" on the '07 sedan sounds like it's electronic, not mechanical.

I appreciate the help!
