just swapped out mine with 6k LEDs. i think the nismo model might be different in terms of the plastic rivets, as mine didn't have the ones one on the bottom of the inner wheel well.

LEDs are much improvement over the yellowish bulbs.

i actually just recently had to take out the inner well again to swap out with 6000K bulbs to match the 6000K parking leds. there are 4 rivets you will need to remove in order to get the inner well (the one closer to the front of the car) off.

also, i would suggest you go by your Nissan dealer and buy a few of the rivets. while you are trying to remove them, chances are, one of the 4 arm pieces will break off. they're like 30 cents/rivet

gotcha, that seems a little more like the setup im working with. i had read this thread & went out to install the bulbs and hesitated before i started ripping all those rivets off. wonder why we are the only ones to have noticed this, granted its an old thread but still..?
