New Member LED bulb question

[Z315]

Hi All,
I am new to this forum as I just purchased a 2008 G35XS, I want to make some minor changes right now and change the parking light bulbs and fog light bulbs to LED. Not sure what brand or what sites to trust? Has anyone made this upgrade or have suggestions as I know it is a little work to change these I want to make the correct choice.

I bought some generic white LED bulbs for mine and they worked well. Kinda funny that the cheap ebay ones seem to work better than the ones I bought at PepBoys.

No reason to change your fog lights to LED. If you wanted an upgrade I would change them to HID instead. But, that's just me.

Matt, you clued me in to the issue of the heat from the fog halogens being a major culprit in cracked foglight lenses on the late model cars. Would his have that issue as well? That would be an argument for doing the fogs, whether HID or LED.

OP, a cracked fog lens can't be replaced, have to do the whole assembly. Well, it can't be purchased separately, at least.

Definitely. If it's not cracked, the dealer should jump on this as a warranty replacement. They don't get paid as well as if it's out of your pocket, but they get paid.

HID's or LED's do not belong in fogs...at all.

HID runs much cooler that Halogen. Then you have to consider that older models had the fog lights in the headlight housing instead of the lower bumper so you didn't have to worry about breakage.

Depends on how they are aimed. Fogs are supposed to be low (or aimed low) and "wash the road" instead of being used as driving lights. I had HID fogs in my maxima and the only people who complained seemed to be truckers that I was passing (kinda funny as they love to shove their headlights into your rearview mirror). I never had anyone flash me in the years I had HID fogs..
