Brand new to the site and just bought my blue 08 altima coupe 2.5s I put the tints got the HIDs and debadged it. i guess the next step is to get the system in and an in dash navi system and get rid of those horrible hub caps they car comes with. i guess after that im at a lost of what to do any suggestions?? I really wanted to get all the interior lights blue including the lights on the dash but that seems like a difficult task. ANY ADVICE?!?

If you're more into looks then get a lowering kit, makes the car look more aggressive and better handling. Also wheels..

Welcome, good choice on the color btw. I have the blue interior LEDs, got them from superbrightleds.com.

Welcome man,

heres a link to a write up on changing out interior lights

http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/diy-ge ... ement.html

I think its mostly just plug and play, just need to make sure you get the correct bulb size.
I'm not sure if it varies between the years of our cars or not. Maybe someone can jump in on that answer.

As for the dash itself. thats another story. theres write up that someone did with their 08' and didnt have to change our the LEDs.
Basicaly scraped of the red/orange tinting around the rings on the speedometer. Also another member here used to do the LED swap,
but he no longer does it. I forget who it was though.
