Are the bext LED for plates, domes, trunk and door

Hey guys I want to replace the trunk/tag/dome/lights on the doors to LEDS. Are these the best/most cost effective bulbs and the right fitting bulbs? I will need to order (4) sets correct? I appreciate your help as I am new to the G37 world.


2 HID 6K WHITE SMT 5 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821

PS. I ran a search but came up with conflicting information.

Those bulbs will work, but don't forget about the glove box light (also a 194 bulb), and the vanity bulbs (different type - "festoon" - do a search on here).

I have vanity bulbs if you want, i forgot the apt # on the first shipment so i ordered another pair. Then the package mysteriously showed up. Just pay shipping, when i ordered they were ~$25 shipped for 2 with 1-3 day usps delivery.

All bulbs purchased look amazing, very high quality and none were DOA. Make sure you test them before putting everything back together, LED's are +/- terminal dependant and won't work if inserted wrong. Also, the conductors on the bulb need to be bent slightly outward toward the edges of the bulb for the best contact.

Have not replaced trunk light (heard reviews about light being too dim and cover not fitting over larger LED bulbs) or glove box light (will install when i put the new cabin filter in and tweak the nav unit).

Definitely! I did 3k, 5k and 8k fogs on my last car. 3k got the most compliments and was BY FAR the most useful in poor driving conditions.
