Default Got new Leds

Just bought some new Led lights for the Z thought you guys might wanna see how nice these look an how anyone can get them at a cheap price EBAY

i bought some 9 white led lights for the license plate
some 10 white led 360 degree angle for the front side markers
some 5 white led 360 degree angle for the front top orange side markers
an some 36 led 360 degree amber/orange looking color same as stock for the front turn signal bulbs these lights have not arrived in the mail yet but i will update once i get them installed. i couldn't wait so that why i installed these other lights already.

i wanted to keep everything still street legal thats why i went with all white an legal colors for now, i might change it later to a dif color but well see. anyways took only about 40min an the only trouble i had was the longer 10 led lights for the front side markers barely fit because of the wire being to short but nissan was kind enough to leave some slack an zip tie the wire when the car was first built. so all you gotta do is just pull a little more slack.night pics an before an after pics included The pics of the left headlight you looking towards the Z is the old smaller led lights i had before i got these new ones the right headlight is the new led light. And the night pics show all the new leds installed on both headlights

yes you could be right but it depends on who you buy them from try to stay away from any led light sold from china hongkong try to keep the sellers in the USA an most of the poeple selling in the
US are pretty reliable an big companys all mine were bought from the us an it only took about 4 days to get here for anyone wanting these just go to ebay type in the led size for example the license plate lights are 194 so type in 194 leds an you will get a shitload narrow the search to closest an lowest an pick from the choices.

bad news: your ebay leds will go out and start to flicker within the year you bought them.. also, props for all the hard work installing them, but the 6k blueish color will get you pulled over if they want to in ANY state.

I had all these issues.

I buy EVERYTHING from V-leds.com now and make sure to order the 5k color.. it is the SAME as Lexus and is NOT blue at all.

When they go out, dont buy ebay again.. i wish i could make a PSA commercial and air it on 350z tv somewhere haha.. they are just as cheap and absolutely top quality.
IM not raining on your parade...just being honest.... they WILL go out.. and youl be pissed.. and im telling you your solution right here..... and then youll be quite happy.. happIER actually.

Plus the 5k color looks far les rice and much more OEM and classy.. youl like em. PRomise.

Seriously....I got pulled over at 5am heading to work in Mobile, AL 3 years ago because of the PIAA blue/white LED's I had on my plate & headlight parking lights. They were about the same color as the pics above of the headlights - popo said any color but pure white will get you pulled over IF they want to. No ticket, but he said to change them out - changed to PIAA bright whites to save any future hassle - even without a ticket, it was an expensive process (PIAA = $$). Ha!

mine are about as blue/white or a bit less blueish than the op's, and ive been fine for almost 2 years now. I bought leds from jdm on ebay, and they have been going strong for two years.

Don't blow your load saying someone's full of **** when you're the one not knowing wtf you're talking about. Cop CAN pull you over and many will for blue lights on your car. It IS illegal.

Depending on your state and the jackass level of the cops in the area.

correct.

I ususaly dont speak unless i have something good to say.. im not a kid anymore.

Ive been pulled over for having a blue-ish 6k light towards the rear of the car.
You can be pulled over for anything btw... so dont give police an easy mark to grab ahold of.. all they need is something to have probably cause for a traffic stop to occur, and will use it just to see if you are DUI on a Sat night. And you cant be mad at them for that, its thier job, and keeps ppl safe. But in case you dont want it happen all the time, you may want to try 5k. Thats all im saying.

I also happen to come from a ful police family and i hear all the inside profiling skinny they use, what they look for etc.... and its just part of thier job. 9 times out of ten, they end up right, so they keep looking for x y z.... u know the deal.

So my point is that 6K lights from ebay look blue next to an OEM Lexus or BMW.. and if you want to replace them w something better when they burn out ( as previously stated happens alot), try v-leds.com and spend the same on 5k that have little to no blue in them and will last a lifetime.

Not trashing your current set up.. i just say that when you run into issues, heres the solution you will want.


End of statement.

I agree, many reputable stores/websites ALSO have ebay accounts to bring in more sales. Admit it, ebay probably delivers more customer-base then their own website generates in random traffic. Just need to make sure you're getting the good stuff from good seller. Not some chinese bull ****.
