california987 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I recently bought some LED lights and the connector is confusing me. It simple does not fit. I have attached a pic of the new LED bulb connector perhaps someone has an idea? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesc Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Mine were plug and play, no modification required, but I read that some of the Japanese LEDs required some chopping and changing to fit properly. I'm sure there have been similar threads before if you do a search. I presume you have a UK 350z and not an import? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Let's see your new LEDs and where are they from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
california987 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks for all the help guys just finished fitting them. Will stick a pick up in a min. Are the original lights worth anything if I sell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work .. The original lights aren't worth much really ... you'll probably get £40 for the pair if you're lucky ... Most people tend to keep their original lights to swap back before selling the Zed ... Now get some pics up .. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done mate I would keep them and if you ever sell the car you put the originals back and sell the LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
california987 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Took a pic when I fitted one side to see the difference, it was only until I uploaded it here I realised the picture was pretty poor. After I received the lights I realised they were not the proper 06+ LEDs but I fitted them anyway and pleased with the result. The lights shine a true red as well rather than the pink which I have seen on other copies of the 06 LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Looks very cool! Where did you get the lights from by the way .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
california987 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 A seller on here advertised them in the for sale section last week, I have also seen the same ones on ebay for about £130 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Oh ok .. I'm only asking because I have plans to change my rear lights in the near future too .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashyk36 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just received my pair of led's? they do not plug straight in, is it ok to cut some plastic edges off the connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I changed my rears for the LED style clusters a few weeks back and had the same issue. There is a thread somewhere with a guide/pictures etc .. but it's simply a case of shaving off the three plastic edges on the connector to allow it to fit .. I used a sharp stanley knife and took off a bit at a time ... Very easy to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm guessing you need to shave the wires if the LED units are off an import? My UK LEDs were plug and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
