Hello everybody. I finally bought my 350z yesterday!!! (It's about time...) I absolutley love it it's carbon silver with the burnt orange leather... I was thinking though- I would really like to switch out all the interior lights on the car from the standard orange to blue. This would mean all the gagues, all the control *****, stereo, etc... it would look similar to the new eclipses

one of the pictures on that site shows the interior with all the blue lights. Would this be possible to do on a Z? I googled it and it seemed impossible to find... anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this? Thanks guys!

 

acree i believe is the one that did this first try pm'ing him. Not positive though.

 

also if you search on here you should find a couple threads about it.

Acree does amazing LED work. The price for the swap is up there, but the quality of his work is well worth it. I am defintaly going to be doing his swap in the near future if he still offers it

 

There's someone on this forum that does these LED conversions.
I took off and resoldered blue LEDs into my Celica's gauges and they looked sweeeeeet. Gotta be extremely careful cuz you can mess a lot of things up if you do something wrong. I'd trust someone with experience. If I got a hold of the right type of LEDs I'd do them on mine for sure. Just be sure to get a black/white gauge face. More visible then a black with blue numbers.

 

Acree finished my conversion a few weeks ago. I promised him the pics so here they are! Better late than never.

Acree told me that this was the first AT conversion he has done. (One note: I had difficulty removing the P-R-N-D thingy and although Acree was willing to do it, I decided to just leave it and hide it with an AT shift boot DIY that I found on the forums. I'm currently still trying to find a way to get the boot on easier.)

I just took pics of the steering wheel gauge for now since the AT gauges are a little different.

Anyway, I'm loving it. Acree did a great job. I just want to drive at night all the time now just to see the pretty blue lights!

 

I'm glad your enjoying the conversion. Good luck with the shift boot. If you can't get it worked out, I'm still willing to take a look at the gear select piece.
