I finally got around to ordering leds for my interior. I thought its the perfect time to change the frosted map light lenses to clear lenses. I remembered that the GT-R had clear lenses, which looked very similar to those on the AC. I figured why not give it a shot. My local Nissan dealer was out of stock, and so was courtesy parts. I ended up purchasing it from Z1 Motorsports this past Thursday, FedEx delivered it today!! $38 well spent.

Here is the result:

It's a noticeable difference, definitely illuminates the area better.

Definitely gives it a more high class look. But $38? I'll pass

It does look nice though. Might have to do this, but $38 is kinda high though.

I did this mod and got the lenses from my local dealership for only $28.00 with tax. You just have to be in good with the parts guy at your local dealership. I am very happy with the mod. Thanks for the part numbers, Nick.
