I would like to convert my interior lights, including my dome light and my rear dome lights with LEDs.

Has anyone had experience doing this with a G? Does anyone know the size of the bulbs i will need to do this? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I just order and received bulbs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...idget They are 194 LED White bulbs.

My car is in the shop until Tuesday so I have not installed yet, but I did remove the covers to see how they would be to install and it's pretty easy, just check your manual. I am driving a Altima as a rental and it has the same over head and rear domes as the 07 G35 Sedan which I drive. I tried them in the Altima to see how they look and they are certainly more white than before and appear to put out a good volume of light. Install will be a snap. I plan to install in overhead, rear, door and license plate lights, 8 bulbs.

My brother actually is in the LED business and sells custom made LEDs. He can custom make LEDs to your specification. I have a pair of custom LEDs which combines 6 of the wide angled LEDs onto a single wafer for a super bright light which is incomparable to any others on the market. Check it out for yourself.

while i was installing the LED's into my car....which are super good looking and worth the 24 dollars off of ebay, i ran into one slight problem. I must have grounded the connection somehow or touched both the neg and pos. at the same time, beause the leds went out. All the interior lights went out. I searched some forums and found that someone who had this problem just simply removed their neg. battery connection and everything was fine. This worked for me too. Good luck to all who are installing these aftermarket lights. They are a very easy cheap upgrade that really changes the way your car will look.

I ran into the same problem, but all the lights went out inside the cabin. I tried removing the neg terminal from the battery and put it back, but it did no good. In the end, I had to replace the fuse in the fuse box on the driver's side. You also have to remember to reset the windows so that the automatic window up and down works again. See the manual for more information on how to do this.
