Was leaving my friend's house and chatting about my Z fog light with another friend when I noticed that my brand new license plate LEDs were not working

The single wires aren't making good contact, so I guess I'm gonna put in the stock bulbs again until I can figure out a cheap modification to fix the problem.

Ugh, that blows. Where did you pick 'em up at? Was it that DIY link that AK put up in his LED thread?

In reverting my license plate bulbs back to stock, I had to mess with my ghetto Z fog light wiring. I tried to do a better job with the wiring, but noooooooo... long story short, now I can't get it working at all

I guess this is my excuse to take it apart and add more lights

Where did you hook it up to? What troubleshooting have you done?

Do you have the Nissan Fog light, or the EVO-R?

Yup, same here. Just looking for some dependable ones. I don't care about cheap, I just want em to work.

agreed man. I had replaced both on my G and they lasted the entire time I had the car (2.5-3) years.. But I honestly have no idea where I got them from.

I bought the ones from the AK DIY link and haven't had any problems yet. Been on since May.

I hooked it up to the license plate light wiring. I haven't done any troubleshooting cause I didn't want to start anything this late. I just wrapped the wiring and tucked it back up there. In hindsight, I should have at least pulled out a 12V battery and tested it.

Neither. I have the JARblue custom fog light

It's just a 48 LED panel I installed inside the dummy housing that came stock

I assume you haven't had any problems with the interior LEDs, and I trust that you will let me know if you do
