I know LEDs are cheap, but I kind of like my retro old style regular lights.
They have warmer LEDs, which more closely mimic the incandescent lights.

Another one bites the dust....seems this is becoming more common as the cars age.....http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...deb019d340.jpg

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. That could work actually. Do you know what they are called? Manufacturer?

Spent most of Saturday with the Z. First up, oil change with Nissan Ester, new crush washer and filter. Second, replacing the worn Oem front chin spoiler. Lastly, wash with chemical guys V07 in the foam cannon, two bucket wash with V07, wiped down with Griots Garage speed shine detailer, chemical guys natural tire shine, chemical guys bare bones undercarriage, and finished off with Griots garage spray wax.

I bought various bulbs from Diode Dynamics. They are a little pricey compared to others, but in my opinion, they are worth it.

For those of you who haven't done this yet, I strongly recommend that you do. The mods are simple and easy to do. It took me about 10 minutes as I was taking my time.

I am going to install my audio equipment tomorrow. Hope everything goes well.

I will post pics when I do.
I concur. These are two great mods to do. The GT-R start button just looks SO much better as do the dome light (map light) lenses.


As for what I did with my Z today?... I finally drove it for the very first time in the dark. The headlights look great, throw a nice wide, long pattern and are pure white.

And also for a first, noticed just how much brighter the map lights are now with those GT-R lenses. What a difference!

And speaking of the map light, I noticed a little orange LED up there in the map light as well. What's that for? All I noticed that it does is cast a very soft, very dim orange glow on the center console/HVAC dials. Not really enough to do anything. But it's a nice little touch I suppose.

It's meant to help light up the shift knob at night in case you forget where the shifter is

Rolled the odometer over to 10,000 miles on Friday night. Parked her for the weekend. Traffic too crazy here.

Hit the Hudson Valley farm roads with my buddy today, me in the Z and he in his RX8.

Good times!

Tore apart my new bumper to find out why only the drivers side daytime running light (DRL) is illuminated, even though the new Carbonsignal DRL on both sides were wired identically..

anyone know what could cause only the passenger side to go out?

The bottom plug harness on the drivers side DRL is probably loose or disconnected. Had that happen once recently. Though it could be either side as they are wired together.

Where in the Hudson valley? I spent some childhood years in the Highland Falls area. Storm King Mountain and Bear Mountain would be nice rides I imagine.
