This was yesterday in front of us
The car that took off and landed was Altima

How did it happen?
He passed on yellow, hit the right headlight, front corner of the car in front of us
Boom, jumped and landed
I was amazed how did that little touch made an Altima jump like that
Wasn't a big impact

Hey in this picture (I think it's rockstars car?)



Are those LEDs or angel eyes that are lit up where the factory 04-06 fog lights are located in the headlight housing? I ask because they look good and match the switchbacks perfectly. My car is also NBP and I'm curious

They're not Halo, they would be much more defined circles if they were.

He has a DRL module with LEDs.

Yup, we even ordered for a Benz a month ago
Came same, exactly perfect white

12,15,18,24
All same color

I have 15led inside
Ok for me, but too much for my dad
12 is perfect for everyone I guess

I have 12 at doors because it fits
24 at the trunk

1 led from superbrightld.cm
for both glove boxes

5 smd led for mirros

I want to thank you so much for posting me those links. I was a bit worried that they weren't true 5k white even though you said they were so I just ordered 1 to try it out. It was going to be for the trunk and if it turned out to be bluish-white I wouldn't have cared because it was for the trunk anyways..

I ordered a 30LED board for my trunk and it came 3 days later. I just installed it tonight and wow. THEY ARE BLINDINGLY BRIGHT! Not only that, but you are completely right that they are 5k clean pure crisp white with NO blue at all. Please keep in mind that prior to this I have only used interior LED lighting from www.v-leds.com and didn't really trust "eBay" 194/168/2825 LEDs or LED boards. I really like how V-LEDs.com actually specifies if it's 5k or 6k white but on eBay everything is just labeled "white" or "hyper white" or "xenon white" and they are all actually 6k bluish-white..

Can I ask you for one favor though? I notice you said you have the 12LED board in your doors and 15 for your interior. When you get a chance, can you please post pictures of how the LED boards look when they aren't turned on inside your car during the day? I just want to see how "perfect" the 15 LED board fits. I'm actually thinking about going with 9 or 12 LED board for the interior lighting and 12LED board for the door.

How do you have the LED board installed on your doors? Are the LEDs facing down at the ground as you open the door, or do you have it installed to where the light is emitting horizontal to the ground so it actually aims at the side of the car or drivers seat as you open the door?

Do they wiggle and slide around while driving (15LED interior board and 12LED doors)

Sorry for bombarding you with questions, but I really appreciate you for sharing that eBay seller with me! I'll be sure to let everyone know that asks where I got it from lol

You're the man!

Thanks guys
I finally installed it
So cold and rainy here
I finished it yesterday, and suppose to be at 5th Annual Great Falls Meet but couldn't wake up at 3 to drive 8hrs
I know Tyler will kill me but...

I loved the car once again
Was worried about the rear aspec but did a nice job on it. Perfectly alligned
How does it look?













Looks good like this too haha






BEFOREEEE



AFTERRRR



Who says sides are not noticable?








Reason I love the dealer for inspection is. Well, first of all it's free because we bought the car from them 5/31/2006
and main reason is, since 7 years, sticker is always at same location. Looks nice and clean




My orange fogs came
Now I have to make them work indepentently with parks




















-----------------

Now
Of course next is indepentent fogs but
will do tinting next week, legal one 35% or may be 40% because state police made me remove 35% long time ago, because the windows is already had tint in it
I might get some spacers for the tires but not sure, not fan of them and expensive

Done with lights. zkw, osram CBI, fogs
I have red 18smd for my rear signals
I might replace it with my 96 orange led WHEN i receive orange 18smd for front signals on Monday

I tried it, orange signal does look good

Wow thank you so much
To be honest, so happy to help you out with those and glad it came out just like you wanted.

Ok so..
I will take pictures... covers in and out for you, and will explain

Yes buy 12 for doors, 15 won't fit as I remmeber

Fitment? Let me talk about that after I take the pictures

I should have 12 led board inside pictures from summer too. I'll share the fitment of 12 too
During summer, before this ebay seller, I tried another one with 12 led boards inside, but they came out 6k, so tried another user and found this guy with actual white boards.

Finally right

Sides were so easy but taking off the rear bumper was pain.
The car is wet and and full of mud under there, broke some plastic clips but I didn't have to use them again... that exhaust cover
Would I take out that rear bumper again? No way
Well, at least not during 40F outside and on a day that it rained in the morning
