My led's are supposed to be coming in tomorrow. I hope they work

:woot:

What brand did you end up going with?

I just remembered that the only problem I did have a slight issue of them not seating properly and they would flicker because of it, but after a while, I got them to work OK and no more problems. The trunk light one however :ugh2: I might have got a faulty one because that one has a mind of its own.

Looks awesome! You're right about the not being super bright. My 15 SMD is overkill :rofl2:

For 4 SMD that's pretty good. Appreciate the pics :tiphat:

So does the little circle in the lens magnify the light or anything?

Just did mine, all the cool guys had em so I had to join the cool peeps club! Bought these and the GTR start button last Saturday and they arrived at Nissan today (thurs). I had already changed out my LED's with JW Motoring red leds so these were simple to pop out again:) I do like them better as well.

Done and done! Thanks for the tips on the parts!

Anyone have any opinion/experience/review on these?:

I might get them and pop in the LED lights for hatch/map lights. Probably white (not sure I could stand red or w/e).

Pics!
