[s13rb25det]

hey guys all the lights for my hazard,pop up light, and rear def, were burnt out and I called my nissan dealership and got a price on new ones there like 7-10 bucks each!! so what I did was go down to my local radio shack and buy some of those tiny bulbs, I then removed the old bulbs from the base that they sit in and wired in the new ones (into the old base) they work great!! you can also get these bulbs in different colors too! just make sure when you wire in the new bulbs wire them like the old ones you removed! and dont let the wires touch! unless you want a cool smoke show! also they have to be 12v type bulbs also I see a lot of people talking about there heater panel lights not working lots of guys always check the TCM my TCM was fine the bulbs in the heating panel were just loose onre turn and I had them working!! just thought you guys would like to hear about this info!!

Hahhahha you mean the heater lights are supposed to light up????? j/k about the only lights in my car that do light up are the spedo and tach, I figure the heater lights are loose bulbs or worn out solder joints, I've just been too lazy to fix them.

also you might wasnt to check the fuses in the driver side kick panel before you go buying anything, i had three blown fuses a couple weeks ago and all kinds of crazy things were happening.

those are bulbs? Sure you don't mean LED?

yeah they are just standered bulbs, but im sure you could use LEDS if you can find them! I couldnt find any at radio shack. LEDS are a good idea for these lights because the last so much longer! its weird being in my car at night now! seeing all these lights! hahah!
