Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm sure there's probably the answer I require within search response but searching on tapatalk seems absolutely pointless! Everything but what I'm looking for. My interior light is currently turned off as it has a mind of its own when its on doors, Dave put blue bulbs in, only one of which works. Even manually pushing the light unit on etc it only works when it chooses to so my first option is to try new bulbs. Do I need canbus LED's or will normal LED's be fine? Wouldn't mind changing sidelights & number plate lights to LED's while I'm at it too. Will they need canbus? eBay gives both when searching for 350z LEDs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Try autobulbs, if you pm a mod there used to be a 10% off code too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Cheers Dave. I did ask on another thread if the auto bulbs site prices were per bulb or pairs as I couldn't find it stating which lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'd guess this is per bulb http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-Long-19-LED-Extreme-Power-2W.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I got my interior ones and exterior number plate bulbs, also headlight and rear and indicators all from them and still going strong 2 years later You can get cheaper on eBay I'm sure but I prefer decent ones that last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Are number plate bulbs festoons like the interior light or the same as sidelights bulbs? Some of the eBay ones say festoon but when I searched the ABD site it brings up W5W bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Mine are just sidelight bulbs i'm sure mate although you can pretty much use whatever you like as long as they are blade ones I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUG Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Auto Bulbs are not the cheapest, but they last.. They don't sell you the correct front indicator bulbs either if you were considering upgrading them too , just to warn you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'll just stick silver bulbs in there I think. Can't be arsed with the incorrect flashing issue with the LED indicators Cheers chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I got silvatec indicators and ultra bright 501s all round, yes the autobulbs site shows the wrong type of bulbs if you use their 'guide' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I find it annoying that each time you have to put the car details in again after you look something & want to go back to the table of bulbs for your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) So to confirm I could buy enough of something like these to do sides,plate & interior bulbs yeah? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300848965605?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Edited February 18, 2013 by Shaun1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I dunno for sure but they have SMD in the name so they must be top quality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Correct Although your interior dome lights you need a 31mm festoon type led bulb Edited February 20, 2013 by FUG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Got it. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If it helps anyone at all, Sidelights, numberplate lights and side indicators are all W5W bulbs, these dont need to be the CANBUS special ones but at the same time it doesnt hurt iof they are. The interior dome lights are 31mm festoon bulbs and the lights behind the sun visors are 29mm festoons (these are hard to find in LED variaty, had to order mine from the USA). All of the above on my Zed are LED. The visors is a little OTT, its difficut to actually use the mirrir as the LED is so bright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Glad I've not bought any yet then. Post above my last says 41mm festoons lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Correct Although your interior dome lights you need a 42mm festoon type led bulb If it helps anyone at all, Sidelights, numberplate lights and side indicators are all W5W bulbs, these dont need to be the CANBUS special ones but at the same time it doesnt hurt iof they are. The interior dome lights are 31mm festoon bulbs and the lights behind the sun visors are 29mm festoons (these are hard to find in LED variaty, had to order mine from the USA). All of the above on my Zed are LED. The visors is a little OTT, its difficut to actually use the mirrir as the LED is so bright! So is it a 42mm or 31mm Festoon buld that is required for the interior dome light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 sorry yes 31mm festoon, edited that! was looking at my watch list on ebay and had some 42mm ones on there for some reason :confused: i went with blue festoon lights http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59886-blue-festoon-dome-light-bulbs-anyone/page__hl__%22dome+light%22 be careful on the type you get as you dont want to bridge the gap between connectors and short the circuit can be a costly job, few threads on the forum about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Interior domes (at least for mine, pre facelift) are 31mm. Measured them myself and got them fitted currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've got blue ones in mine, currently only one works, and when it feels like it so they need to be straight out the door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Right I've ebay'ed them in the end lol. Ordered 2 31mm 4smd festoons in white & 4 w5w 12smd bulbs for sides & plate. All 1 year warranty & less than £10 in total I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
