I know this is an old thread, but just got these to install. Am I the only one that cannot get the socket loose from the parking light? I have a 2010 Roadster and I can barely get my fingers into the area around the bulb holder and 'am having a heck of time getting them loose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

^^ got fat fingers? :P
I had to ask my gf to turn it for me. There's not a lot of room in there

ceverman3619 10-05-2011 06:44 PM

Okay, got these installed and they do look great! Just a tip for others, have a pair of pliers handy for the install. It will make it a lot easier.

^ Thanks for the tip. I will make sure I have a female around with small fingers for them tight spots, pliers as a backup.

so has anyone had a problem with the LED bulbs melting?

the bulb here has 13 LED's and I'm thinking it might produce too much heat.

LEDs dont produce heat

ZForce 12-08-2011 06:51 PM

NOT those LEDS, they should not. Now the map dome with like 25 on a panel I have seen melt the plastic dome cover. Let me check my part # on the parking lights against yours.

Just checked my part # and it's exactly the same as yours and from the same source. Had them installed on three 370Z's and all three were done two months ago. No issues at all with melting.

Just did mine they look great, good DIY. I did notice on mine that I didn't have a bottom clip nor a spot for one. Just took off the round one, broke one  tough little suckers to pull out but then just pealed the liner back and pug and play really easy.

No pictures just the same as previous posted and recovered the girl up for rest of the winter

Just did this today, thanks for the write-up. :tup:

If only you still had your Nismo :shakes head:

Thanks for the DIY. I installed my LED's last night in about an hour and used these bulbs from iJDMtoy:
