John tarantula Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 had the car a few weeks now and despite promising myself I would leave as standard have already ditched that Ordered and fitted these for the rear numberplate: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501194t10-anti-bulb-warning-xenon-white-wide-angle-p-2085.html these for the front sidelights: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501t10194-ceramic-watt-ultra-xenon-white-p-2395.html which i fitted without taking the wheels or whole arch liner out (just one screw, pulled the cover back and used long nose pliers) so the outside is looking nice and modern. just ordered these for the inside cabin lights: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/high-brightness-xenon-white-smts-bulb-p-2392.html and this for the boot light:http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501194t10-mini-light-tower-leds-xenon-white-original-p-2191.html Hope it fits inside casing and isn't too long! should be fine as long as I can get it into holder. Time to see if there are any front indicator bulbs I can get now Quote
Neilp Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 If the cabin light led bulb has a metal center then it will short out the bcm unit I think. Lots of things on it. Cabin bulbs require plastic center I think Quote
John tarantula Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 yeah just read that thread!!! will check them first and not use if so! don't fancy shorting the BCM! thanks for warning Quote
slimjim Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Just wait till you get everything in ... and it looks ace.... Then you open your sun-visor mirror and that awful YELLOW light comes pouring out... very annoying! But good choice on the lights... I might even finish my exterior off as well Quote
John tarantula Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 feck, forgot about those bulbs! will wait til i get the latest lot then do a mop up order Quote
slimjim Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 feck, forgot about those bulbs! will wait til i get the latest lot then do a mop up order If you can work out the right bulbs and the right way to replace thenm, I will be super impressed! Been asking Husky to tell me what to get for a while and had nothing back (the guy is pretty busy) so if you can work it out, that would be great! Would these help? Quote
John tarantula Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 hhhmmm they don't look particuraly normal but i like a challenge! will let you know if and when i conquer them! Quote
Husky Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 ok took a look at my own ones and they look like this: doesnt make much of a difference really as you can just make up a bespoke light anyway, yours look like it would be easier to do as a custom job anyway. all you need to do is get hold of 1 LED and the correctly matched resistor. solder the resistor to the LED and put it in place of the bulb (the right way round). use 14.5V as your operating voltage and choose a decent brightness LED.

slimjim Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Nice one Husky! Mine must be different as it is an 04 model... So, can you sort me out if it is an easy job? Or would the labour just be crazy on them? Quote
John tarantula Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 mine look the same as Husky's so hopefully a bit easier to track down. Boot and cabin bulbs all arrived today and work fine! Quote
MK-Ultra Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Hi mate, So these LED's: "just ordered these for the inside cabin lights: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/high-brightn ... -2392.html" Worked fine? was thinking of changing those lights but was unsure myself as to which ones to get? Cheers, Lionel. Quote
John tarantula Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 ordered these for the mirror lights: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/high-brightn ... -2392.html slightly too long but should fit OK if I cut a bit of plastic back. time to hunt for rear brake lights, indicators, reverse and fog! Quote

Cheers, Lionel. Yes worked fine for me! polarity sensitive though so they only work one way around. No where near the centre bit that can short and blow the BCM. have a read of this thread for more info: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=37554 Quote
