Too much work for me! But I think Infiniti went with the orange because of the BMW's orange. I like it!

Ok, so I think I'm a little slow. I've been to a couple auto parts stores and no one has the LEDs for my interior lighting. Does anyone know of a website that I could buy them? And which ones I need?

I want to do the blue on the step lights and bright white on the map lights. Any suggestions??

For my dome light I got them from v-leds.com and for the courtesy step lights I got them from superbrightleds.com. They're 31mm festoon bulbs for the step lights, and I think its the same for the dome can't remember. I'll post pics later tonite. *One thing though, don't touch the festoon bulbs when you're replacing them. It's extremely hot and I learned that the hard way haha!

Somebody want to post a link for the cluster mod?

I've done around a dozen searches to no avail. I'm a good searcher, but NICO's search isn't friendly.

Please do.

I think the orange is hideous. I could smack the Infiniti Designers for choosing that color. I'd even go with fusia before orange *gags*

I've done a few G35 gauge conversions, and they are pretty difficult. The 03-04 has filament bulbs, and don't look good if you swapt them for LED bulbs. You'll need to build a circuit. The 05-06 has surface mount LEDs (about 96 total).

I don't know about a DIY tutorial, but I can do the conversions if you want. I've done blue, red, and white.

Thanks Kelly.

I'm not sure I'm willing to blow $260 on new lights, but I'll let you know if I go through with it.

don't need LEDs, I just bought green bulbs and replaced step and map lights. You can get them at any auto store. I'll post some pics later

Here are some more pics. The white LED dome lights and mirror lights are very bright and they look great! The dome light is a custom LED circuit board - not a plug in led bulb.

I think those lights on the mirrors for the ladies would blind you.

All of those pics are from the same website you posted at the top of this page

Blondes j/k

But if you ask me, the tach looks a little tacky along with the blinkers. Other than that, it looks cool. But I'll stay with orange. Blue is one of the hardest colors on your eyes.
