yah, i know... we should also stop by the manufacturing plant in TN that makes the dumbarse steering locks. f- them all for all the headache!!


that might be too bright for me... i got these cheapo's from amazon that is low profile and has 4 surface mounted LED's... so i hope they are not TOO bright.

Haboob

If it's just 4 LEDs, then it probably won't be.

Mine are like 9, or 392, I don't remember - I see spots every time I look at them.

I've thought about getting a layer of window tint (or something similar) and putting over the lenses. Would kind of help them "blend" during the day and not put me on the Sun when they come on.

kenchan

yah, i didn't want the bulb to be too bright, and i wasn't sure how much clearance was allowed inside so got the lowest profile one i could find.

maybe you can use those for your trunk or rear plate wedges and get lower power ones for your maplights?

kenchan

i wish the LED's also fix the dumbarse canned messaged lady at nissan consumer affairs.

oh for goodness sakes! where is the place. Let's get a convoy and drive there!


p.s. call them everyday. see what happens! LOL oh, and write letters and keep a log of everything. THat really gets their attention!!

i outta back hand you with my right hand! and call you b*tch!..... and im Left handed!

kenchan

with the LED's in your maplight, does it dim at all before the lamp turns off like it does with incandescent bulbs? or is it more digital, meaning, ON or OFF.

kenchan

if it flickered a few times before solid ON, then it will be a total fail cause it will definitely remind me of flourscent toilet lamp.

Haboob

It's just on and off.

However, when it's "off" and the car is on (i.e. I'm driving) you still get a little glow from the LEDs.

Some people get it and some don't is what I've been told, but it's because the LEDs require less power to run and that extra power that is there for the regular bulbs keeps them somewhat glowing.

That's another reason I want to swap out the LEDs in the map light.

kenchan

thanks for the info.

dang, that would suck if the LED is slightly lit while motoring... i hope mine are weak enough it doesn't do that. wont know until next weekend cause it's probably going to rain this weekend and if it doesn't, im pulling out my G.

will post up picts later tonight when i get my LED's in.

Happy Lunch everyone

Almost time to have lunch at the ballpark!

Would be nice to go earlier and eat at Fridays Front Row, but meh, hotdogs and nachos will suffice.

That's what I did my first rear tire changed, and I haven't gone back to stock

I love ballpark food

I think I have to rethink this decision (theoretical decision). I was looking on a map to see how far you were from a major sports park and I realized Victoria is far from any major sport (and I despise San Antonio almost as much as LA).

Guess I'd have to move to Dallas so I could go back to Arlington and also get to see my Cowboys play at home once in a while.

It's just sucks that the two baseball teams in Texas are for the girly AL.

But I do like the warm gulf waters...

Anyways, enough sports talk.

Looks like I'm stuck living in Phoenix.

hey there, mr.jar
