Yup, same here. Just looking for some dependable ones. I don't care about cheap, I just want em to work. :icon17:

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.

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


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

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

The connectors are kinda of crappy. The LED bulbs work fine, but they aren't keeping good contact and were cutting out. I'm not interested in getting pulled over because my license plate bulbs were finicky, so I just went back to the stock bulbs temporarily. I plan to fix the connectors myself.

Sounds good. What color is the mesh goin to be? Black?

Right now its just chrome. I am going to finish it with Dupli Color Shadow for a black chrome finish. I am hoping it will be a nice subtle finish :tup:

Well I got 10 for about $7 shipped vs the $15 for 2. I didn't have any trouble installing the exact same bulbs in my interior, but when I did it for Tracie, the hatch and one of the map lights gave me a hell of time getting the wire to connect properly. As I mentioned, I've got an idea for creating a much larger contact surface area for the LEDs.

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 :icon17: It's just a 48 LED panel I installed inside the dummy housing that came stock :tup:

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

When I pulled up the link, it seemed really familiar to me and I think its the same place I bought the ones I use in my other/previous cars. They never gave me any problems.
