i don't know which direction the license plate bulbs for the coupes are facing, but for 2007 sedans, the bulbs are facing horizontally.

You should check to see which direction the bulbs are facing before making the purchase.

I am assuming that the coupe's license plate bulbs are facing horizontally as well.If you buy those bulbs, then you won't get much light output.

[mikegtr06]

which ones do you have ???

[mikegtr06]

so something like this would be better.http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...32481

mike,

these were the ones i bought from v-led, but seems like they don't carry these kinds anymorehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

yeah, that one seems ok. compare your altima license plate bulb with that one and make sure which way the base is plugged in.

how do i get the covers on the lights to come off??

[mpbclutch33]

Which ever ones you get, post up some pics and tell us how you like them. The link you have looks like it would be a good improvement over stock, but then again, buying LED's without seeing them can sometimes be misleading and result in worse lighting. I have had that happen with my last car.

It is in the owner's manual (do-it-yourself section).

[mikegtr06]

it tells me to go to the dealer for those ones...

after



what do you think??

[stsxcrle]

Definitely looks better, I love the look of the LED's so much cleaner. Now you need some HID's on the front to get rid of the remaining yellow light!

[mikegtr06]

workin on it i already convinced the wife and i would have orderd them but im moving to texas next week and i dont want to take a chance on the shipping coming late. so i have to wait like 2 weeks till im settled. and then im getting the xentec 6000k lights off ebay.

[mikegtr06]

[mikegtr06]

http://www.hoen-usa.com/city2.htm5w5 city light 4,100k would those fit my sedan ? just wanted to know before i order them thanks.

[stsxcrle]

Yes. Anything that's 168/194 will fit. This is true for the light in the trunk, the lights on the doors, and the map lights.

I just put blue ones in myself, looks great at night.

[SVTCobraStang00]

Yea Those look really good!! I was looking for a set of LED license plate bulbs for my 05 Altima, I posted the other day, but I forgot where I posted. Just wanted to know where was the best place to get those bulbs and what size are the ones in my car?

From the looks of it, my post never went through the first time....
