How many of you have decided to upgrade your 2003 - 2005 350Z's with the new 2006 LED type ?

Nope.

I have have a ton of LED's in my car - festoons, turn front and back, parking, trunk, luggage cubby, and even in the console cubby but after following a G35 with them home last week I desided that it wasn't my taste - too much. I did like their brightness but not their looks.

We have tons of them in stock now... but most of them are cracked!

So we can only ship a few of the sets that are not damaged...

we are working with NISSAN on correcting this problem...

they are all cracking in the same spot... (Packaging problem)

we re-pack them before we ship...

That sucks! How hard is it to properly pack a set of taillights?

Oh BTW, I ordered mine from Jason too...

I want a pair of LED lights, but I thought they weren't plug and play. What do I need to hook theses up to my 03 Z?

I don't think they are worth the money.. the led are not even symmetrical.. if they are like the G35 led, that would be cool.

but if you have the money, go for it!

I may get them in the future but I'm currently focusing on building up my engine & drivetrain, so my funds or currently going there. With my bodykit & rims, I think I have enough show mods for now. Need some more go mods .

easy...

open rear hatch...

3 tabs on top of each tail light, pop off with screw driver...

use 10mm socket on the 3 bolts on each tail lamp...

pull out (stand to the side of the rear wheel and pull towards you)

un-clip harness...

follow steps in reverse to put in...

takes about 2 minutes if your slow with hand tools

i like em, the stock Z tails have no character, unless u do the clearcorners mod, which looks unbelievable, but is too expensive

id rather spend the money on these then putting those halogen based led globes in the stock tails. Thats just stupid, they are nowhere near as bright, nor is there much illumination difference when braking, an accident waiting to happen

those leds are symmetrical if u look at them horizontally, not diagonally

Don't know what Nissan was thinking when they line up the leds.. make them STRAIGHT!! The last two rows of leds closer to the trunk are not right.. Haven't seen it in real life, but they look weird in pics..
