You've seen the light! I hope others don't make the mistake of buying any LED bulb!

I've tried over 10 name brand LEDS from local stores(pep boys, advnaced autoparts, JL audio), online(superbrightleds, ebay) and they all burned out!

V-LEDS are the best and they last like LEDS should last! I've had my v-leds in my car for over a year and a half now and no issues whatsoever!

V-LED's was sold out of the door, map & license when I started investigating LED replacement. It took about a month for them to come in. They are worth the wait, all the LED's from V-LED are great. I had a tough time with iJDMTOY and really would not recommend them as a vendor.

No.... There is a company called Pro-Clips USA that makes outstanding car device holders (iPods, cell phones, etc). I have bought many kits from them. Included is a plastic wedge type tool that's made for separating plastic cars parts ...works great.

Buy the replacement piece ...I feel your pain and I'm **** about that too. You'll constantly look at it and it will drive you crazy. I spent $100 just to get the cup holder insert that was missing from our used G (couldn't buy just that part). I hate for stuff not to be right. Especially in the ever so sweet G.

How many of these type bulbs do you need to do the Doors, Map Lights, License Plate lamps for a G37x Sedan? Is there a rear dome light?

nice pictures, but how come the color of the LEDs look pretty yellowish.

What kind of White LED bulbs did you install? Warm White?

They look yellowish because I don't have a good digital camera. All the bulbs are 5000K and in real life they are nice and white. They match the LED's perfectly that are used in the OEM products (Lighted sills, small center dash ambient light, floor ambient light kit).

I just looked at my pics .... the bulbs themselves look white to me in the pics, the surrounding illuminated area might look yellowish but again that's the camera deffencies.

I bought those for the parking/city lights ...haven't installed them yet. Frankly my ordering experience with iJdmtoy was so bad I wouldn't order from them again.

Ah .... I get it, you are from iJDMToy .... no, the V-LED LED's are very nice and very white. To be perfectly honest with you I ordered some festoon bulbs from you and it was such a hassle I'll never order again.
