370Z Led License Plate
 

Hi all,

I want to replace my original led license plate.

anyone tell me how to replace it?

your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Same as 350Z.

Look underneath where the lights are. Press one side of the license plate light housing to unlatch and pop it out.

^^^ yup what he said. easy as pie.

Yup I replaced mine. pretty easy, just pop one of the latch (white color) and you can remove the white cover. pull the bulbs and insert your LED bulb. It's that easy.

LED bulbs
 

Has anyone bought LED bulbs from http://store.ijdmtoy.com?
I would like to know how good are the LED bulbs and how reliable is the website.
I plan to buy those LED bulbs to replace the map, trunk , and license plate lights.

can someone post process and pics in the DIY section?

For the license plate? It's very easy but if you want me to make a step by step DIY with comparison pics, I can do one as soon as I get my bulbs. They are in transit.

never done anything to a car before, i just want to screw up my baby. thanks AK, if you could, would you please post step by step with pics? i think its also a good reference for noobs like me.

where did you buy from AK? i've had bad experiences with LED bulbs before from some stores so very apprehensive about getting more but i really want a clear/white light for the license plate

I bought from V-leds. I sent the sales department few emails and pictures of my bulb area and we ended up with 2 possible fit. I ordered the first kind. I am going to let you guys know if it fits or no.

Installation guide
 

Here is a link to a website that has a lot of installation procedures for most light bulbs on different car models. It does not have any for 370z yet but it should be similar to the 350Z and G37.

iJDMTOY.com--Information, Resource, Tech Support

This one doesn't look bad from your website

iJDMTOY JDM Xenon White/Ultra Blue/Brilliant Red T10 Wedge Light LED bulbs for Map, Dome, Parking City Lights, Sidemarkers or side door courtesy lights

I may give that a try if the ones I ordered from vleds doesn't fit. I ordered this one:

2 HID 5K WHITE SMT 5 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821

Those multi-LED bulbs have a short life and still emit a narrow beam with hot spots. Since they're a bit complicated to make, cold solder is highly likely and will show up over time when the bulb simply quits working.

The closest thing to recommending something is from SuperBrightLEDs:
High Power SMD WLED Car Bulb specs

The one that uses a single surface mount LED should be sufficient.

thought id share some pics....really easy to install just open and replace :D
bulbs are from v-leds as well
i like the fact that it illuminates the ground as well :tup: :D

Finally got my car today, and the first thing I did was swap out the license plate lights. These are my handmade Luxeon K2 LED bulbs:

While not directly related, but here's my Luxeon K2 Trunk Light (huge difference):

Can someone tell me where I can go to buy this?
Do you guys think they would sell it at home depot or somewhere?
I really don't want to use a credit card...
I don't even own one.. :<

I made my own... but that requires credit card since I had to order parts online. O_o Can you have someone order it for you?

is the bulb for the trunk the same as the license plate?

Yup. Use flathead to pry one end.

Just did my trunk, license plate, and map light today. Very easy & looks SOO much better than oem lights.

yeah the less the cops can see of my plate the better

AK do you happen to know the quality of v-leds bulb compare to the piaa brand bulb. Quality and Light output wise. Where can I buy go buy these LED at? any suggest trusted sites or local retailer would be much appreciated. Thank You in advance.

Which bulbs are you guys going with?!! I see tons of them from v-leds, but unsure as to which ones to purchase

Whatever you guys do, do not buy the leds from ijdmtoy. I ordered the xenon white lights for my license plate and the front parking lights and they appear blue to dark blue when installed. I really regret purchasing from ijdmtoy and if I were you guys, I would buy from vleds. I only purchased them through ijdmtoy because they had install pictures of the lights that appeared white but im very dissappointed with the end result. But hey, if your looking for blue...go right ahead with ijdmtoy because there blue lights and bright blue and there white xenons are blue...
