I saw somebody else post it on a thread here

Nogood, just a quick question...when you were removing your headlight bulbs, why did you need to take out that screw?? Isnt all you have to do is push on the clips at the bottom?? I remember thats how it was on my g35

[nogoodname]

yea... i realized that afterwards.... just loosen it a bit to flip up the retainer easily

On the door light swap, how do you take out the light bulb? any one?

[speedracer g37]

looking over this thread again and now i have a question. is there a reason you unscrewed the head light bulb retainer clip and removed it instead of sqeezing the prongs together and lifting it out of the way?

how long do the $60 reverse lights last?
does the interior leds give off a faint glow when its switched off?

will these fit for door and dome lights?

Those are the same ones I have have and they fit correctly and work great.

Regarding how long they last, I can't say but mine are all working fine with no issues whatsoever.

To swap out the door lights, I upclipped the bottom of the casing (there are four clips holding the mounting into the door, 2 top/2 bottom) then when it comes out, unclip the plastic cover from the housing and then pull out the lightbulb itself.

I was a little worried I would pull out a wire or something when I swapped mine but the wires are long enough you've got some play in them. Just be careful with the plastic cover to the housing that you don't break off any of the plastic tabs

I was going for a consistent look all around and selected the 6K LED replacements.

In general, I used this one for the dome, door, trunk, and the license plate:

They're great.

is this the right link? those are flank leds suitable for only 90 degree applications.
