Really want to change the setup for my rear lights. Right now, everything is OEM, but I have a pair of JDM lights coming in soon. I want to change the bulbs in them, so they aren't as old looking as they are now, to LED, but I have no clue where to start. I'm sure the local auto parts store doesn't carry those types of things, but I don't know if the ones on eBay are of good quality, or even bright enough. Does anybody have any installed that they would recommend? Pictures? THANKS!

Yup I just swapped out all of the bulbs in my car with LEDs, still have to do my pods (really confusing for me) & just the cluster which shouldn't be hard.. I have pictures of them all but quality is s*** with my Iphone. Best one i have is with the reverse lights. Which makes it soo much easier to see when reversing at night my god! :bowrofl:

Went through a guy Named Ben Rosen on facebook. His compan is Zilver lighting. Owns many z32's and knows a lot about them.. I paid $200 for every single bulb for the car.

Super bright white Reverse lights

License plate lights, as well as tail light bulbs ( I know you cant really tell a difference due to quality)

I should be getting my j-specs in the mail tomorrow & he said you can def notice the difference with the j-specs on. So i'm awaiting to see the outcome.. But so far i'm highly satisfied, he even threw in a few extra backs up.

ZSwap0429, please personal message me links to the guys facebook and the website where they sell the lights when you get a chance. Think I found the site, but just want to be sure. How much of a pain was it to change the interior lighting?

Ya what he said up there, Ben Rosen on fb. I bought a full interior kit as well as my reverse, brake, and licence plate light kit. I hate the "ricer" hid look on our cars. I think they are a better car then that IMO

Just to be on the safe side, careful with those plate lights on the back. If they look too blue cops wont like it. It looks sharp though, should be doing the same thing on mine when I get her off axle stands :bigthumb:

Yeah here in VA you def cannot have colored lights on your plates.. Just in the photo they appear blue, but in person they are a sharp white officer. :bigthumb:
