These LED domes are awesome!
Got these from 350Z Source
http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/50-3083
Seemed a little expensive but I went for it and love the look! Even my girlfriend - who is not impressed with that kind of thing at all - noticed right away and thought it was cool. They are VERY bright, almost blinding in the car, and very true LED "bluish" (If reading in the car is your thing then you will not like these just for the color), but for everything else!
They are LED boards connected to little wires that then plug in to a little base shaped like the stock bulb. It took some playing around to get it to fit in the right side (there's less room on that side cause that's where the harness plugs in for the dome light. I basically had to get creative, remove the whole assembly, and dremmel some unnecessary plastic tabs in there.
And they fade out just like the stock bulbs!
Here's the pics!

They charge $39.99 for the set of two, which seems steep, but they seem like quality lights, and much better than the LED's others have tried. When it makes the girlfriend notice and say, "whoa, what's that cool light?" then it's a mod worth it to me
And then she froze up like a deer in the headlights, and it was verrryyy nice!!

SolarOrangeZ - I wanna say piaa makes some that fit our license plate sockets. The 168/194 wedge bulbs maybe? Anyway, that's the only company I would go with, as it seems all the other led sites people buy from are way too hit and miss. Sure they say free lifetime replacements, but how many times do you want to take apart the same assembly, replace the bulbs etc.? Make a post if you get em.

dont buy the ones he bought if you have an 07, i did and they were too big for the dome housing and i had to "resize" them. I hate when i have to modify a GARENTEED perfect fitting item
